I'm Green, almost doubled my daily goal

The title says a lot.  Trades in AAPL,GS,BKE(thanks Goat),COP,BAC,MON,QQQQ.  I think I trade MA just because it always tries to burn me-it's a personal thing between us.  I'm down to holding 10 stocks-I added a couple today, but I'm still thinking about going flat at the end of every day.  But my swings do okay too.
  Had some bad fills today and some how a GS trade with a bracket of 50 cents went of and gave me a 5 cent loss.  Sometimes IB and my shortened two click orders just go off when I hit enter while I'm throwing the key board around.  I've seen orders get canceled just because I touched the wrong key.  But the speed on entries is a must--I remember way back when I owned 50 shares-hit sell--my platform defaults to 100--and now I'm short 50 shares trying to figure out what I just did.  And then I get out of the short-made the same mistake again and end up long another 50 shares, whew, it was hard to make money back then!

Robot:  24 winners, 5 losers, profit of 142$.  I'm getting closer to let him run live for hours, today with my extra profits would have been a good time.  But when I'm moving a ton of trades it is hard to watch Robot, I just leave him to himself.

Other Stuff:  My new lamp showed up and my new big ass tv finally is plugged back in and has a picture.  I've owned this brand new tv as a paperweight for a week now. I sure hope it can pull out more than 1 day of viewing pleasure this time.

Fantasy calls:  Girls, 4 days of working out in a row--the muscles are starting to pop.  I'll be taking reservations as soon as I stop aching from the pain.  CALL EARLY    hint, hint, nod, nod, nudge, nudge, need I say more?
