Trader P/L 2014

Net: -147

The other day I was -262 from the swing trade but did not manage to capture my trade blotter on time due to work commitments.

I thought I was slowly getting the hang of this day trading thing, however this week has definitely showed me I need to go back and work on my trading plan..

Will be paper trading until otherwise to avoid slowly eroding my 2014 profits..
 
+9 net

That was a difficult day. I had a number of small wins turn into losses. I was nearing my max loss for the day, but was able to finish barely to the plus side.


Careful with the dreaded "Death by a thousands [small] stops", it can be as deadly as badly planned averaging down.

Yes, I've experienced death by a thousand small losses. It's not that I was trying to keep my losses small by using ridiculously small stops. It was just choppy and I lost on a number of trades. Fortunately, the losses were small.
