Perhaps I can relate. I'm probably trading 1/4th your size and my adrenaline spikes like I'm being held at gunpoint when I enter a sizable...
Those inter day gaps could go either way, no? Seems like a bit of a coin-flip to me. I'm enjoying your journal BTW. Thanks for posting your...
Not a good day. However I am not too disturbed that today's losses exceed yesterday's profits because the majority was from a fat-finger this...
After a self-imposed hiatus I am back to working my intra-day strategy for real. I will start posting more consistent daily P/L figures along with...
What I got from Black Swan is that short term trading is a losing strategy over time and the only way to make consistent gains is with...
If it doesn't reveal too much I would be interested in knowing what technicals you look at to determine when an ETF is trending. How do you...
I'm surprised how many stories of failure boil down to psychology and lack of discipline. These are personality traits! Finding balance in...

I thank you for this pearl of wisdom. I will just end my day here. It couldn't possibly get any better.
What sort of technicals do you look for when choosing a good stock to RTM trade? I've found the ones the work best have an average daily volume...
This is pretty pathetic but my screw ups last Thursday and Friday brought my account below 25K so I can't even trade this week. I don't quite...
Thanks. I may be guilty of forcing that WYNN trade 'cause I didn't see any opportunities off the open. Should have just side-lined it on Friday.
Wow. My username says it all. Got schooled again trying to fade bullish news. This time it was WYNN. Lesson learned--don't go against multiple...
I'm starting this journal to keep myself accountable to my goal of 40% ROC in 2011. A lurker for a some time now, this is my first time posting to...
