Daytraded the YM for 7 points :)
NO MORE DAY TRADES FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS....SEC YOU SUCK,  I CAN'T GRAB A PROFIT OR BAIL ON A LOSER CAUSE OF YOUR STUPID RULE
WHAT'S WORSE?  I just picked up AONE and forgot I could not sell it today.....DANG!!!!!
added GS @ 159.54 mostly because I was mad at myself for not adding it 3 days ago at the trend line
Day traded  AZK -.22 I was going to swing it with a stop at 5.00 but I had enough of it.
added DPL @ 28.22 on my goes up at first of month idea

Going to try to start adding to positions if they go down on me.  It will give me a better price average on a stock I thought would go up.  Adding to a position is rare for me, very rare.

Got 21 points in a YM trade today.
Had a chance to do it twice or more.lol
Errr, let's see....I let the trade go past my normal 10 point stop loss.  Thankfully, the rebound came in. 
On the second part after I exited my long and the markets hits highs, Johnny says go short, I was resting on my laurels and did not take his advice, and it was another quick 20 or 30 points to the downside.
F was down on me today and was responsible for cutting down my profit today.
BRFS is close to stopping out...what a shame.
Two days left====hope I can keep my profits for the month!

The futures......In March it cost me all my profits and then some to trade the futures so I told myself not the trade the futures.  The plan was working great until around the 22nd.  That was my first futures trade all month, I used it as a hedge and it worked.  The 27th when things fell apart I lost almost all my profits for the month, my choice was the futures to get some money back. Yesterday I mentioned how I had the right call but did not take the trade (coulda woulda shoulda plus 400 on that call) So today I'm back to trading futures.  Having the stochastic and fish alerts signaling together really is helping with better entries.  The robot does not show it, but he enters trades based only on one signal instead of both signals together.

Shorted the YM futures for 5 points
For some reason it just seemed a difficult day.  Java interfered with my platform and would not allow any entries, my other broker won't allow you to have simultaneous orders which almost panicked me thinking they would not allow my sell...but knew I had the position, and I watched it go down and down.  The morning hours I spent talking to a broker of the sell problem and wondering how to delete java and reload it without missing too much trading.  And also, in my state of mass confusion I kept trying to reopen a program causing it to continuously give me pop ups every few seconds.  Dual openings cause the shut down of the program.
Ya, for some reason things just seemed a little difficult today.
The TXN trade...it was  a Gorilla trade and on the Rockstars' list, so I had to buy it.  Then I heard CNBC talk about it reports earnings after the close today and I knew I had failed in researching my buy.

I did put up the fish buy and sell triggers.  I am thinking  about running it together with the stochs buy and sell triggers.  or sort of something like that.  Did a YM trade on my own, I had it right and left about 20 points on the table.

Other stuff:  Had to be a plumber at work today, after many hand washings my hands still smell like backed up stuff....I tried to clear the line in the wall and the problem was in the sink...man, I felt dumb.  Then the next drain backed up and once again I tried the floor pipe while it was a surface problem.  But I ....this is work and not other stuff.
My computer I use for the workouts lost its sound.  Yes, today just had a few hiccups.

If I have the time this weekend I will change him over to running off the fish for his buy and sell triggers.

Other stuff:  Changing from my software here to my accountants software on a main frame just is not going as smooth as I thought.  Hence, the payroll while trading.
But that is about work....not other stuff....so it doesn't belong here.

This mornings drop put me down more than 200, it was a terrible feeling.  I thought about not letting TM stop out and wondered what kind of  reasoning I had.  Spent a lot of time missing that money.  But things came back.  Mostly with the help of the added positions.

Most of the day I spent watching my account go down and down.  I thought about how to recoup my losses.  Considered a futures trade, but I opted to buy a stock instead which left me with no money left for the futures trade.  I bought this at the circle, for this wanna be a day trader, I watched it go from .69 to .55 for hours.  When my chance came I could not wait for it to go back down, I saw a couple of upticks and I hit the button.  For a little while I thought I was winning, then came the smack down.  The real problem was not waiting for the stock to go down.  If I want to day trade---I need to wait for the pattern to give me my price----not jump in because I thought I was gonna miss the move.  The next hour I spent telling myself I screwed up and started figuring how much pain I would  take before I sold this at a loss.  My numbness kept me from moving and I held on for the recovery.  As far as a day trade-----BAD ENTRY.

Right after I changed his loss to 15 and win to 7 he started racking up huge losses.



Other stuff:  Got to drive through the hail storm today.  It was cool.  At one point the question was "is this as fast as the wipers will go?", but it let up in about a mile.
In the on going push to finish off the kegger...I've been following the regiment of not having enough food to get through the workout...let alone the day.  Last night I had just sat in the chair, at 1:30 in the morning I woke up and wondered why it was dark out at 8.  Today I had the same problem.  Luckily I have no food for tomorrow, have a payroll to do, so I'm looking at Saturday afternoon before somebody feeds me.   Is it just me, or is there a huge flaw in this plan?

He's been having a bit of a rotten streak lately (that's my English accent...aaaa what).  Just kidding, I ain't got no accent.

Other stuff:  Only two leaks left to repair in the main sprinkler...replace a pipe and a valve.  This summer if I get ambitious I'm going to put a line in the backyard flower beds, remove a pipe I put in to replace the pipe that I thought I ran a rototiller over.  And wonder whether to dig through the tree roots or the bush roots for a sprinkler in the front flower bed.  But back to studying stocks.

Green +3

3? why yes, 3.  Being green is so much better.  Alas, I need to make more money.  Since I don't have the capital I might need to return to futures trading.  When I don't have a futures trade on I seem to always know the direction of the next 10 YM points...

I finally have some charts running on my back up account, well most of them.  Only took 6 tries since Wednesday to have the broker get me set up for a 2nd log-in id.  Hmmmm I wonder if I counted the time I waited on hold this morning and finally hung up?  My back up broker MBTrading......I just don't think they understand.

Other stuff:  Worked today almost for real, I threw up.  But I am feeling much better.  I bought ice cream and stuff for grilled cheese sandwiches....It's my home cure for my throat that feels like it's on fire all the time.  Oh, I didn't wake up at 4 in the freiking morning because it was impossible to sleep, I must be feeling better.

Pretty much thought GS problems shouldn't affect everyone and started picking up things I thought went excessively down.  This also kept me from day trading the futures...it was close today.
Speaking of being down, today's red day is depressing.  Really.

Twice I thought about getting out of BRFS just because I had a small profit, and twice that profit was no more.  This is the biggest reason why it so hard to let something run.  And when I hold because a stock went down it always seem they go down further and faster than up. 
E-TRADE finally turned green for me today.  It made me remember that it had been months since it was green for me.  Again it was the same decision, take a really small profit or risk losing what took months to get back.

when the market trends up, he continues to view that as a repeated short.  At one time he put on four shorts in a row...while the market was going up, he lost 3 of those.  Without using real money I can look at his entry and know he did the wrong thing.  So much though that I started thinking about putting on some futures day trades.  This is what toasted my profits in March...what a scary thought.

Other stuff:  Jessica had a boy...7 pounds 2 oz.....er something like that.....cause I'm in rumor land here.

MBTrading is doing all it can to lose my business.  What a terrible broker.  It is time to decide who will be my new backup broker.    The platform is clunky, and they go out of their way to shut down the use of Quote Tracker.  MB charts can't even keep the graph inside their screen, so today I have no charts for this broker.

I'm still wondering if my selling actions were good or bad, but without worrying about that decision, all of those stocks moved way up minutes after my panic sells.  Like .75 on CCMP, etc.  I missed those stocks after I sold them.  Could not reenter CCMP because it was at the top of a trend line, which makes me think ready for  a pullback, hence the sell.  ISIL seems near a double top.  PGN was just a failure.

What a way to trade...not.  Took off my stop on MR which was probably a mistake.  Is that really how you spell probably?  Ah well.
 The internet went out on the backup computer and when I tried to open my account on my main computer it kept telling me I was still signed in and would not let me get to my account.  Finally I yanked the internet cord to get signed in.....but my down time was just way too long.  And it occurred to me that I did not even know what stocks I own in that account.  Which made my 15 minutes of down time even more frustrating.
I'll bet your wondering.....how can he not know what stocks he owns?(gotta be an idiot....huh?)  At current I was holding 23 different stocks in 4 different accounts with 3 different brokers.  That's how...and the 10 screens I have running....it's just not enough.  Everybody has a backup, I have back up power, back up computers, back up internet services, and back up keyboards.....cause someone told me they were cheap and sooner or later when things go wrong you will end up beating the crap out of a key board.  15 minutes of down time is just way too much time, especially when you have no idea of what stocks were on that connection.
But screw it....I'm here to make money, and I failed today.  That is why we want to be day traders, we don't want to hold a stock, we want the few cents of profit and get out with the money.  But the SEC is just stupid with their day trading rules and think it is smarter to hold a stock to watch it gap down the next morning instead of selling the stock as soon as you had a profit.....Ya I'm bitching, but I only have one day trade left before the SEC can actually freeze my account for 90 days....WHAT A STUPID RULE.
What the hell makes me better because I have 25k laying in my account?   I needed the money for a store remodel....until then you guys thought it was just fine for me to day trade...now you tell me I can't trade if I do one more day trade....you people suck!
Maybe I should just sell all my holdings and go back to trading the futures....or did you guys actually ever figure out why some one can day trade the futures with no account minimums and no restrictions.....while doing the same thing in stocks would be wrong.
AGAIN....WHO MAKES UP THIS STUFF?
