red, that pains me.  For most of the day I was just counting how much I was up, day dreaming about being in the black.  But that was just a dream, damn.  I'm down 12 dollars.  While it may not seem like much, here it is a lot.  Besides the money, a down day also effects my brain.  My psyche, it's got a screaming headache just from the turn around from up to down 12 dollars.  It was write something witty, cause it'll be up  all weekend.  Chart of the day up there--without that thing I would have been way down today.  This weekend I will try to brainstorm on how to maximize my profit on BRK B without getting out too soon.  Most of me just wants to hold it for months, the rest of me knows without taking a profit--all you have left are losses.

Other stuff:  Tell you what, it's Friday, call me, we'll go out, have fun, so I can have some other stuff to put here.

I'm down, still 10 minutes to go but I'll still be down.  TOWARD THE RIGHT--IT IS THE GUESS MY STOP GAME.  This one is a little trickier, but they are always easy.  Took a big loss in this one, Please enjoy the game and place your guess wisely.  As always there will be no prizes!

Added BRK.B in two accounts today, even with the S&P adding it, I got a feeling everyone wants to see it go back up.

Robot: His chart came back like magic.  But, when adding the second set of triggers, things are just off.
16 wins, 20 losers, minus 271.14
Umm let's see     stp 7  , t1 5, 2 step, be after t1, trail after t1,    and he has two different triggers both running at same time, both with live email alerts.  Also he is trading two contracts, really, I changed almost everything on him.  With two programs, it's twice the trades almost.  The two step exits come from some videos I've been watching where he buys like 8 contracts, gets out fast, and makes over 700 a day.  So I did a 2 contract(which is still too rich for me), I freaked when he posted a loss for 100 dollars.  Fake trading with 8 contracts seems easy--take one point --sell--you made a profit.  But I can't trade 8 contracts,  now I'm thinking about this plan--huh--it seems easy!  Anyways, I liked the smaller losses with the 7 point exit, but with the two contracts my plan is to try and grab something quick and then have a runner behind it just in case it's a winner.  Brains are such a delicate thing to tweak, and the high frequency trading robots just kick ass at this.  When my Robot grows up he wants to be a super bot.

Other stuff:  payroll and thanks for the old people workout (stretch) cause, well you know, I got the blaster butt right now.  You know who you are.

thank goodness for the late day rally
Two of my holdings report before the bell tomorrow--good luck to me.  It seems almost daily I get slowly stopped out of something, you would think that the market would be tired of going down by now.

Robot:  11 winners, 17 losers, minus 179.28
Just when I was starting to brag on him, he goes and messes up.  Even worse, I deleted his chart by accident.  That chart had months of studies and the correct time frame for those studies.  So off to the lab to build a new brain for him, today I had added another study to his main triggers, I kinda like it.  But I had no plans on killing the other brain just like that, you see, I moved my charts around then starting closing things--and whoosh--it was gone.

Other stuff:  All of the vitamins and nutrients with out any of the stuff.....yep....the words of some body poisoned. 

red

screaming blood red, nah not that terrible, but my account has been dropping for a while now.  The few up days are not covering the red days.  Down around 150.  Stopped out of SNP.  Only have 35 cents before my stop on MDVN, 63 cents on NETC.
BRK B going into the S&P?  I've actually day traded Berkshire before, you know, back when the SEC believed I was worthy enough to day trade.
Speaking of Day Trades, I miss trading the YM futures, especially since Robot has had 3 winning days.

Robot:  9 winners, 8 losers, plus 92.58
At 9:55 he went on a losing streak and lost 5 in a row, at 11 he went on a winning streak and won 5 in a row.
But his past three days of winning has made me want to turn him on "live".  I have not included the slow stoch momentum index yet, but I am impressed with the 3 days of winners.  And when looking at only having one more winner than loser--it's a decent profit.

Other stuff:  It is an easy workout week-cause their ain't no sit ups.  Really, this is getting to be such a hard category.  I was off showing off the stopping distance in my toy & it caused me to have a tail with lights on it(police).   He laid back, waited till I was over the hill, in front of the school, and then came screaming over the hill.  He must have wet his pants when he almost plowed into the back of me doing only 20 mph.  I was amused while  he circled the block in search of other prey.  I would just like to say==these cars have been in the garage for months now, yes we will break your speed limit by at least 100 mph.  And half of that time we will be sideways, following the trail of tire smoke shouldn't be that difficult for you.  We only get to drive these cars rarely, we are lucky the battery still has a charge after being garaged for 4 months.
And even if we did decide not to pull over and instead let you actually chase us...you couldn't catch us!  HA!

I changed his stop to 7 while leaving his target at 10, but it will take a few days to see if that really is causing him to have a bigger profit.

Dang---if this keeps up I might have to do some panic selling!
My first thought was to sell the holdings with profits, and then I thought "what, and keep your losers?"  So now I'm just confused again.  ---- Insert Potty Mouth here-----
Down 137,yesterday down 110, shoot I was green for a little bit in the morning.
GOOG messed things up for tomorrow I guess
I put a stop in SNP and yanked it cause it was 30 seconds to close.
So the earlier panic talk?  I still own everything.  The experts say stick with the plan--I cuss out the plan every tick down.  Last year in my I.R.A. WFC was my biggest loser by far.  Every time I stare at a profit and loss sheet and know that WFC bounced all the way back and that I never had to take that loss--sometimes it makes me hold a stock longer than I should.  Like SNP down 4 dollars on me for example.

grrrrrrrrr.  ok this sucks.  I'm down.  The end of the day come back helped, but I'm still down.  I was stupid today and bought a  stock, was distracted by an alert, and bought the stock again.  What's worse I had not realized the double purchase and had already figured out my numbers of when to sell the stock.  But before things went bad the stock rebounded.  Oh it was CHSI. I had a dollar profit, watched it drop and took a 33 cent profit, and then bought it back twice.  I still have another profit in it now, as long as things don't go south again tomorrow.
I have at least 80 stocks on my screens and there were only a "hand full" that were green.  What a day.

Dell crap.  The Subway inspectors marked a fellow franchisee out of compliance for not having a register.  The franchisee busted his butt and the fault  lies entirely with  Dell And Subway.  Yet, they failed his store because the equipment won't be delivered because of Subway and Dell.  And now Subway will send this franchisee a termination letter for his franchise.  I would be next on the list, I have complained to Subway and Dell non stop for a week now.  I have actually had my order stopped, with no explanation why for days.  And today I was told if I try a generic register to run Subway's program

 "We do not support such configurations and will never consider this sort of configuration appropriate for a stamp of approval from our group."

In short you fail and Subway will send their legal letter to return my franchisee to compliance or my franchise will be taken from me.

Sweet, I'm up everything I was down on Friday.  Around 150 if ya haven't been reading.  So the smiles, the smiles.
It was not until the market closed that I realized that I had left and forgot to put stops on most of my holdings.  This was not bright, but I got away with it.  Usually I'm watching, but I'm trying to fix a register which took me across town twice. Dell has a power cord that is a special part, and I forgot to bring mine to the repair company. But that's enough of lecturing myself.  I'm up, I'm green.

Robot:  2 winners, 3 losers, minus 21.30
I forgot to turn him on today, I was off with fixing the register for a store.  I also did not have a chance to compare his new study for today.

Other stuff:  Dang, someone sucked all the air out of the workout room today, It was damn hard to breathe, and no matter how much we all sucked air like we had asthma, we just could not catch our breath today.  I was trying to think of something else to say.....while looking for the computer repair store, I saw a parking lot that actually had a street name--and the street sign.
And Dell actually gave me money..I called them to tell them to stop messing with my account...Dell apologized for taking the money out of my account...I interrupted and said...no you deposited money in my account...Dell said if we don't take it back out in 4 days...call us back....when will it stop?

Dell update

It seems Dell has a license disagreement with the franchise I own.  So they will not sell any franchisees any computer, register equipment.  Entrepreneur ranked it the #1 franchise for 2010.  And Dell refuses to sell equipment to the franchisees.
I need that stinking piece of equipment.  And the #1 franchise who could care less about it's franchisees will not sell the piece of equipment to me either.
  Why?  Because they will only sell it with all of the other components.
  SERIOUSLY, HOW MANY PEOPLE BUY A NEW CAR BECAUSE THEY HAVE A FLAT TIRE?
NUMBER ONE FRANCHISE.....GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO SOMETHING FOR YOUR FRANCHISEES...ESPECIALLY FOR THE ONE WHO NEEDS HIS REGISTER FIXED.
That is all.

I'm down about 150. But the good news is that since Dell did not deliver my part as promised, I get the day off early.  I know it is not good news, especially for the store that really needs that part to function and can't get it until the middle of next week.  Dell said they would ship it on Monday...repeatedly they were told Monday is a holiday.
WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS SELL DELL...SHORT THAT THING...
SALES Q/Q -14.95% 
EPS Q/Q  -53.86%
SALES 51.43B and they can't even ship a part out
Top of the channel...down from here...BUT THIS IS JUST A PERSONAL VENDETTA for the lousy service I got from Dell

so enough of my bitching(crap they suck)

Robot:  8 winners, 5 losers, plus 69.62
I've added another study to him, not to affect his buy triggers, but I've been comparing my slow stochastic to a stochastic momentum index.  Usually I run things side by side to compare them.  Right now I'm thinking there might be a way to keep him from entering at a bad time.  Below the prices section the green arrows were longs and the red arrow a short--the first circled long shows  robot buying but the square below does not confirm a long( hard to see but look to the right of the square on the second buy arrow, the blueish and brownish lines are heading up)
The red short arrow shows a short sell---the bottom stock indicator is moving up, which could have canceled this trade.  At 10524 he did go short and lost the trade, the bottom indicator moving up could have kept him out of this short sell.

OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT...GOD...WHAT DO I KNOW, seriously God, have you been listening?  remember we talked, the stuff from quick books delivered wrong and I had a payroll to do, this Dell  crap, I had to delete the fantasy calls section, the duct tape where the window is supposed to be, food is a luxury around here, etc, etc,  C'MON GIVE ME A BREAK HERE

Got stopped out of GTI for a big loss, RTN and CHSI for profits (both of which I bought back again) added WIT, PCG and HTLD just gave me a headache-so it gets a mention
Other Stuff:  I learned how to get an actual screen shot of my screen instead of using my camera to take a picture.  Hopefully I won't be posting my famous blurry pictures no more...but the videos...that's anybody's  guess.
I'm getting much better at my half a pull up.

Been a while since I've seen that color.  And Catgirl says she has a small account and has beat my daily goal every day this week.  Yep, I'm jealous.  Made back less than half of yesterday's loss.   But, it's a green day----yippee ki a mothe.....

 I threw in some stops on a  couple of holdings, I didn't want to.  I'm usually always watching, and I know how the market makers love my stops, but I had some repairs to do at a store.  I wonder what Dells' numbers were, cause my hours on the phone with them were terrible.  Usually Dell is great-they actually talked me through building two broken computers into one working system over the phone before.  But this time, the clicking noise over each person I was connected to, the "but you called the purchase a system monitor, are you telling me you are not going to buy anything" to the continual speak up, and I need to put you on hold for two minutes, every 10 minutes we talk.  But maybe they did make a profit--cause they busted me for 50 bucks for a one time phone consultation, and another 2 hundred something for a new part.  So overnight the part cause I need this fixed now--"sure no problem, but the tech can't be there for 2 or three days".

ITS SO HARD TO FIND THE GREEN
It's affected me...I changed the Robot to take a profit at half his usual.  His first two trades were losers.  But  now he needs two  winners to cover one loser.
I'm down about 140 and it's only been a few hours..I had a good feeling when I woke up...but this sucks.  Lost my dollar profit in MDVN, CELG just hates  me, and I added CHSI.

SO I SHOULD HAVE PUT A STOP ON MDVN TO PROTECT MY PROFIT.

grrrrrrr...I'm down, and of course depressed.  I hate being down.  I used a day trade with a bad CELG trade.  And of course I bought high and sold low, and I do mean both.  Not just one trade, but two, and both went against me.  I'm still holding my long.  When the CELG bad news came out I thought I could ride that down trend, but while the down trend was 3 dollars, it did not help out johnny come lately.
I added SJR, RTN, MR today.
I did all this adding stocks so I would not have enough available funds to trade the YM today.  And then CELG treated me like a dog and took my money any way.

At lunch he was rich--2 of his losses came after lunch, also he had another winner, but I closed his position on him because it was only about 15 minutes to the market close.

I'm down 50 dollars.  It really sucks that the first week of the new year my account is in the red.  Those first 3 days were all winners, and I was all happy.  But the last two days of the week depressed me.  This morning I told myself....ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS MAKE 100 DOLLARS AND THINGS WILL BE GREAT AGAIN.  I didn't make my 100 dollars.  My first YM trade was profitable, my second was not.  And because all my funds went to a store remodel, I can't buy any more YM contracts until I have more money.  I only have a 20 dollar cushion.
That's my second trade in that picture....THE CONVERSATION WENT LIKE THIS..."TIME TO TAKE DOWN THE MARKET...WAIT, BOB HAS A SHORT, LET'S SPIKE THE MARKET TO HIS STOP AND THEN WE CAN TAKE DOWN THIS MARKET.... and alas, welcome to my losing trade==gap it why don't ya?   You guys are dicks!!!!!

I have a bunch of good days and then lose it all.  It started on my second YM trade where I failed to take a profit and took a loss instead.  At the end of the day I caught 24 points.  Then in the last hour I lost all those points.  I took on 5 trades in that last hour, just thinking I had less than a hundred dollars to earn back. Instead I loss 132 more dollars.  I'm depressed.
On the stock side----POT for 1.32, GE for 60 cents.  Both were day trades.  I thought about just trading stocks, but I jumped back into the YM.
I also failed to take my profit in OC today.

A LOT OF THE TIME, FAILING TO TAKE MY PROFIT IS MY BIGGEST MISTAKE...BESIDES JUST TRADING NON STOP LIKE A MAD MAN ON THE YM.

The YM just jumps around so much that it chops me up.
3 of my accounts have a day trade in them, which kinda slows me down from jumping in on a trend.  Holding something overnight is hard to do.  Also being a member of Gorilla Trades, and looking at their stocks, I mean they have been holding things since June, July,etc.  Every time I tell myself to stick with their plan, I always end up cashing out, or holding on to the losers that they already sold.
Yesterday things would have been great, but today I'm red for the year.  Gotta re-route my plan because of one bad day.
Writing all this crap has got to start making me a better trader soon.  I'm not here to be a better typewriter, that's for sure.

yep, yep.  Had two good YM trades.  Tried a day trade in NLST, I had a profit, did not take it and suffered a 30 cent a share loss.  I really hate it when a profit slips away.
Today I added MDVN, supposedly for a long term hold.
Also my ORA---WHAT WAS THAT...? SCREAM DOWN A DOLLAR A SHARE ON ME.. ORA was my best chart pick of the day.  I'm just thinking what did you pick wrong.  Oh well(yell), it did come all the way back today.

his last two trades were losers, and I should have shut him down at noon.  I also put in stops to protect his profits on 5 of his trades.  Without my interference, he would have made about 200 dollars more.

yep,  But even after I said the housing numbers are coming out---do not buy the 9:50 bounce---I BOUGHT THAT BOUNCE TIME.  There was a small spike up, and before I could finish saying hey you're up, I was in the red.  The market went down on the numbers and I ended up with a loser.
After lots of cussing, I'm right back in long for another trade, I made back all of the losses from the first trade and had a profit.
You would hardly know that I wrote before that I would stop trading the YM because I'm stupid.  Mainly cause I'm still trading the YM.........

Other stuff:  Close to a two hour wait is just considered normal now-a-days.  I spent all of today in line with a friend, who wanted some company while she was trying to get through government lines for college and medicare.  I just saw a news teaser that said the highway was shut down for two hours to get a man running on the highway at rush hour.  It takes two hours to get a man running on the highway?    Again....the theme here is a two hour wait is considered normal now-a-days.
I'm glad I can sit here and blaze through trades as fast as my souped up computer, and fastest consumer internet speed offered, can go.  Cause before you can get your finger off the mouse..you own that stock.  Good times.
Ritter says he won't run again...I could care less about politics because of all the lying...but I have a little bit of Hey Gov--fix this---this happened and when the police said it aint a crime to scare the shit out of your customers and employees.  I notified the Gov of the bullshit.  The Gov's response was to send me a brochure to buy a state health plan.   On the other side, after contacting senators, police chiefs, etc. etc.  A police chief did call me and told me he was interested and wanted to see the video...within minutes I left the video in the store...within months---he has never picked up the video he said he would.   And a senator's aide informed me that solving this kind of problem is not really what they do as senators.  So welcome to the real world...I HAVE NEVER VOTED--NEVER REGISTERED TO VOTE--.  Somewhere I heard Obama has never taken money from lobbyists.
