Green + 37

I almost forgot....Welcome To The New Guy!!!

covered 50 QQQ @ 57.82 + .12(profit)
     running a really tight stop...
...I hate it when a profit turns into a loss...can't let the green disappear
covered 50 QQQ @ 57.81 + .13 (profit)
those 100 shares took a lot of concentration and baby sitting, I miss being a day trader.



Dow down 93




After researching why last year this month was my worst month, I found out it came down to me daytrading the YM (mini Dow futures)
aaauuuuggggghhh.........and now I want to trade the futures again.

Anyways....these blogs are great for going back and looking at what happened.  Kinda like keeping that diary they always talk about.   And they are free, don't take any space, or paper and ink.

Some changes that have occurred in how I list my entries in this blog...
added  share prices
added actual amounts my account value changed by
     I use to only list Red or Green, or beat my daily goal as my totals
added the amount of profit or loss on a trade (minus the brokers fees)
added the Dow chart
added the Dow chart with the closing total
     Wonder why I just didn't do that at the same time?

All these items help me to look back at my trading and look for ways to make me a  better trader, and except for a long post like this, it is short and simple to go back and look at old trades.

And after all that...I'm realizing it's Friday and I can't trade again till Monday...the depression is already sinking in.....sigh
