I'm Green

Great title, don't ya  think?  I would have been greener if I would have sold everything in the morning.  It's WANNA BE A DAY TRADER, and I need to start jumping on the profits.   I look at the numbers and think everything is great, I'm making money, and in minutes things change.  But what really needs to change is the holding on to a stock.  I kick myself for getting out to early and when I don't get out and try to let a winner run they seem to reverse on me.  And at the same time my other account the supposedly slow moving one-----I don't even look at these stocks----- I can't day trade out of that account.  That account is up 30% for the year, while this account is not up.  I need to break out of something.   I seem to be in some twilight zone, just wondering what I need to turn the corner.
  Watched (Today Trader-Andy's) video today-at lunch it shows up over 3k.

Robot:  22 winners 4 losers loss of -108.  I'm sorting his paperwork from his big losing day and today.  I think I'll stop his trading after lunch.  Robot does better in the morning ( 15 wins 1 loser before lunch today. Past records show him losing more in the afternoons.  He really helps because all the voices and alarms go off before he puts on a trade, which gives me a chance to decide if I agree with his trade or think he has blown another chip.  But letting him trade in the afternoon adds info for his brain.  Maybe I let him run live in the morning Monday and put him back to simulated in the afternoon.  Last time I said I'd let Robot run live on Monday the market crashed--but nobody can predict the market.

Other Stuff:  turn off the screens they say-uh I'm watching other trading videos trying to learn something.  Well, it's sorta kinda other stuff.  I was trying to explain my Friday night, but I guess I just wrote about trading here too.
