Go me, I’ve gone from a green February to a red March! These things happen, though. My end of day momentum strategy quit working quite horrendously, so I’ve had to change. But I feel pretty good because I recovered $50 of losses today, Friday, and I’m getting better with my strategy. I…(Read More)
Small account challenge, day 18 Today was a good trading day, I had some time to trade during the day and I believe that made all the difference. I made three day trades today and besides buying a little too early on the first one and breaking even, they were all successful trades. I’m…(Read More)
Small account challenge, day 17 I’m -$21 on the trade I was holding from Tuesday afternoon in $GLYC. I was making money at several points in the hold until it broke its upward channel. My thinking is that some of these bounce plays bounce fast and if so you can play them fast. If…(Read More)
Small account challenge, day 16 I’m holding a swing trade today from yesterday that I’ll sell tomorrow, so no trades to post today. But I am working on this new strategy pretty hard and I’ve been working on backtesting it, and I wanted to share with you all the results so if…(Read More)
$1,000 small account challenge, end of week 2 I had a crappy day. I mean, let’s call it what it is. I made two really stupid mistakes, one totally avoidable and the other taught me a lot about pinch plays. So I’m down 6% today because of it. I’m down $141…(Read More)
Small account challenge, day 13 I stayed in cash all weekend instead of picking up some end of day plays so I came into Monday wanting to practice some of what I had studied over the weekend. So I only made two plays and they were weak plays honestly. My pattern I think still was…(Read More)
Small account challenge, day 11 Another red day though fully recoverable. It was just a red open to the market. First, my overnight play of $LC got pushed down pretty hard to 3.60 premarket and did not recover in the morning. I held on but the markets overall were red in the morning so…(Read More)
So this was an interesting week of trades. The week prior I had made a few rules to minimize my losses. Don’t day trade, sell my overnight picks in the first five minutes of market open, and focus on 3% daily profit. As you can read from the title I missed the 3% daily…(Read More)
Small account challenge, day 10 First real red day. But it was very interesting. Last night I started with an overnight hold of $TEUM. I was considering playing $ABIO again, and I really should have but decided against it. $TEUM had a crappy post/premarket as someone was pushing the stock down to 2.20…(Read More)
Small account challenge, Day 9 Just an FYI I’m numbering these days based on calendar day, not trading day. I want to see my results over the course of 180 calendar days. This blog is more for me than it is for you, I just believe that there are a lot of other people…(Read More)
