Red

I'm down 20 dollars today.  Had good day trades in qqqq(500 shares), palm, jazz, ma, and of course aapl.  The 500 qqqq is my start of upping share size to grab a bigger slice of my piece of pie.  Having a trail on the larger shares might not be the best way to exit.  Robot actually did one of my aapl trades today and gave me an 18$ profit in 19 seconds.  It is always fun when you don't have time to sweat out a trade.  It turns out buying bigger share amounts helps to get out of trades with a profit easier, but I'm holding 200 clwr and down 20 cents and I still carry my 60$ limit for a loss.  Larger share amounts require more and less wiggle room.
My holdings kept growing today, making a swing in one point from minus 175 to plus 90.  This is something that is hard to stomach for someone who usually trades small share sizes.  We are talking these swings occur in 5 or 10 minutes-not like one of Robot's trades today.

Robot:  9 winners, 1 loser, profit of 109
Had one trade today that lasted for 3 hours-kinda cuts down on the amount of trades when he gets stuck in a trade.  But he takes it all with not a care, I'm trading like a mad man and look over at Robot and he is just sitting there for hours humming to himself.  Robot is down to trading 100 shares so I can let him run live more often, he is set to 20 cent profit or 60 cent loss (that's my 60$ loss thing showing up again).

Other stuff:  Been working out a whole 2 days in a row now, and it's starting to ache.  That, and the lack of air is making me tired, sore, and dizzy.  Almost didn't put up my charts tonight cause I was so tired--whoops trading stuff goes up above.

Fantasy Calls:  yo.............I been working out!   yo!
