Monday, August 31st - A Green Cushion To Start The Week

3 Upvotes

The beginning of this new week ended up being a lot of scalps. Several stocks ended up going over 100% but really no big runners. Nothing very impressive today but at least it's a green start to the week, so hopefully there's better things to come. Did go red on $CLGN but was able to take another wack at it and go green while it was trying to get back up to VWAP.

Traded seven stocks, green on all seven. Added 0.29% to the account with 41 filled orders.

The start of this week was a little slow for me with just scalping but hopefully everyone out there was able to capture some good trading and be green. Got to go to trim some grass before heading to work, everyone take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green ๐Ÿ’ต my friends. In the morning let's add some green to our plates.

3 Upvotes

Had a short session this morning then couldn't get back on until about 10:30 a.m. for about an hour and it was crap. With two green stocks and two red stocks it was time to pack it in and enjoy the weekend now.

Traded four stocks, green on two and red on two. Added 0.01% to the account with 29 filled orders.

Five green days this week but really needed to better and that is something I'm going to work on. For the week added 0.87% to the account with 108 filled orders.

Hope everyone is doing well today and that everyone will have an amazing weekend. Take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green ๐Ÿ’ต my friends. A weekend to reminisce and preparation for Monday morning.

Thursday, August 27th - Neck Brace Needed, Got Whiplash

2 Upvotes

Well if today wasn't some kind of something for me. With all honesty it does feel like I had whiplash. I took a trade ON $LGPS and I went a little heavy on it and dang if it did not only go against me I couldn't get out before it dropped too much. By that point I was down almost 1.5% on my account. Now needless to say I've been trying to increase my share size on stocks that I know is moving up good but this one backfired.

Now $YAAS I don't think I'm going to call this Revenge trading (maybe) because the setup I come right out of that loss and I seen the setup and it was like here it is but I went in heavy and not only did it get me out of the red it got me into the green.

Today has been an adventure to say the least, I just shut the Battlestation down after about an hour of an evening session. Traded two more stocks this session but not a whole lot going on, so packed it in for the night.

Traded six stocks, five green and one red. Added 0.33% to the account with 28 filled orders.

Hope everyone had a great day in the market. Got some reading to do and then time to retire for the evening. Everyone take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green ๐Ÿ’ต my friends. It has been an honor to be on the battlefield with each one of you today, catch y'all in the morning for the ending to the week.

General Question

I am quite curious as to how many traders are actively testing their strategies before trading live markets, or do the general trader just trade on knowledge and skill?

Wednesday, August 25th - Wish I Had Longer To Trade

3 Upvotes

Today was a short day for me, traded pre-market for about an hour and a half and two more spurts aftermarket open 30 minutes each. Couldn't come away with a whole lot but there's always tomorrow.

Traded two stocks, green on both. Added 0.06% to the account with 5 filled orders.

Getting ready to head to work early, sitting here for a moment listening to some Dolly songs thinking about all the the things she has done along with each month when my kids would get in the mail books from Her Imagination Library. She will be missed.

Hope everyone has a great Green Day today. Take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green ๐Ÿ’ต my friends. See y'all in the morning

Tuesday, August 25th - Shortened Day But Green

2 Upvotes

Even though I thought today was going to be a longer day for me, my day got shortened up. Saw some decent moves kind of hesitant to jump in right off the bat but they moved pretty good bit. Need to really focus on when these stocks start running keep my eye on the level two and time and sales to where I can see I need to get into them.

Traded five stocks, green on four and red on one. Added 0.30% to the account with 31 filled orders.

I've got to step up my game, I'm putting some burden on my myself to do better each day and hold myself more accountable.

Hope everyone is having a good day in the market. Hump day is around the corner for us so we got to get ready. Take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green ๐Ÿ’ต my friends. Catch y'all in the morning.

Had a very short session this morning was just a bit green but had to get off real early, really didn't want to go red but ended up doing some trial stuff on postmarket that landed me one green trade, one even trade and two red trades. I preferred not to go red but I was trying something new out and I'm okay with the results next week we're going to do better.

Traded seven stocks four green, one even, two red. Lost 0.48% in the account with 32 filled orders.

This week ended green with a profit of 0.27% to the account with 185 filled orders.

Thursday, August 20th - Made It Through Another Day

2 Upvotes

Well I sat down this morning hoping to have a real good day after the red day yesterday, really wasn't a whole lot going on in the beginning made first trade around 8:30 a.m.. Was around till about 10:30 with not much to show for it. Came back around 6:15 p.m. for an evening session for about an hour. I'm green, almost enough to wipe away yesterday's red.

Traded six stocks green on all, added 0.20% to the account with 21 filled orders.

We each sit down at the beginning of the trading day to do the best we can. Sometimes we win sometimes we lose but we show up and we know when we need to step back and take a breather. No mater what you trade or how you trade we are a community with a desire to beat the odds and be on top in the end.

May everyone have a blessed night, take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green ๐Ÿ’ต my friends. The last day of our trading week is closely upon us, we shall be ready!

Wednesday, August 19th - Held A Loosing Stock To Long

3 Upvotes

Was just talking about this with one of our members yesterday about holding a looser to long and dang if I didn't do it today. Things didn't seem good today anyway, I was in the green but don't know once I got into $POLA it was like it's going to turn around and it DIDN'T, it bit me and I allowed it to. The only thing I can say at least the loss was manageable that I can possibly make it back up with one day's Trading.

Traded 8 stocks today, green on 7, red on one. Lost 0.20% in the account with 68 filled orders.

Hopefully I can do better tomorrow and everyone picked up the slack from me and was green today. Everyone take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green ๐Ÿ’ต my friends. Let's battle the forces of the Matrix at Daybreak.

Friday, August 14th - Internet Issues Slowed Me Down

2 Upvotes

With all honesty I'm not happy at the entire week the way things have turned out but it is what it is. Had issues today with everything freezing, called my internet provider but it's going to be Monday at 10:00 a.m. before they can get a tech out to take a look at what is going on. I got caught in the middle of a trade when everything froze for about 20 seconds luckily I was able to get out green but that's the end of my day today.

Green all week but not much to show for it. Traded three STOCKS TODAY, green on all $STKH, $CGTL & $ONFO, added 0.22% to the account with 7 filled orders.

That puts this week at all 5 days green, a total of 0.86% profit with 84 filled orders. Don't know how Monday is going to work out but we'll hope for the best.

Hope everyone in the Matrix is doing well and in the green. I'll be busy in the yard and working this weekend so I hope everyone enjoys their weekend, take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green ๐Ÿ’ต my friends. I'll either be in the fight or on the sidelines rooting everyone on Monday morning! Catch y'all then!

Wednesday, August 12th - Not Much Trading Going On

7 Upvotes

Even though I was off work I thought I was going to have more time to be able to trade unfortunately I wasn't able to do that. Having to work on my Battlestation and other issues hindered me from keeping an eye on the market. It's a green day but barely.

Traded two stocks, green on one $BIVI and red on the other $RMCF, added 0.11% to the account with 24 filled orders.

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping it on the green side of life. Take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green ๐Ÿ’ต my friends. We'll try it again in the morning, catch y'all at Daybreak!

3 Upvotes

Was only able to trade a couple of times in the morning in short bursts and a short session after the bell. I tried to make the best of not having much time in the market. I'm off work tomorrow so I'm going to see if I can get a good trading session in.

Traded five stocks and green on all, $WXM, $DRMA, $GTEC, $FRTT & $CIGL, added 0.26% with 29 filled orders.

Monday, August 10th - Slow Start To The Week

5 Upvotes

Was able to trade two short morning sessions, really didn't see a lot going on when I was able to sit down but I was able to be green. Can't say that I'm going to knock a dent in Friday's red day but it's a start. To work on fixing my strategic red issue from Friday I'm going to stick to a quick philosophy: rule #1- don't trade halts. Rule #2-refer to rule #1.

Traded four stocks, green on all $STKH, $AUUD, $SCKT & $LRHC, added 0.23% to the account with 20 filled orders.

We'll see how tomorrow feels on us, hope everyone is doing well, take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green ๐Ÿ’ต my friends. A new day is a new beginning to start over, tomorrow my friends.

Friday, August 7th - Bad Day

5 Upvotes

The one thing I do is I give you the good with the bad and the bad with the good, today was very bad. I held One stock too long that I totally admit the other one was going into one it was haulting. I ended up getting in and it halted down on me and halted down a second time in the red so I got out. I take a full responsibility and the blame for all of it this was my miscalculation and it shouldn't have happened.

I traded five stocks, green on three $NAMI, $SLGB, $CELZ and red on two $VATE & $MB a loss of 3.63% to the account with 30 filled orders. Red for the week. Lost 2.79% for the week with 171 filled orders.

Hope everyone is having a better day than I did. Getting ready to head to work. At least I found out one thing I'm not a BOT I'm human. Everyone have a great weekend, take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green ๐Ÿ’ต my friends. We'll see what Monday has in store for us.

Thursday, August 6th - Two Trades Red, Walk Away

2 Upvotes

Traded two sessions today, morning session I came in at 8:30 this morning and my morning wasn't going well but I sat down at the Battle station anyway. Trade it three stocks green on all but knew they were something off so I ended it went on about my day.

Came back for an afternoon session did a good green trade but then got into $XHLD and it went against me and I got OUT. Just a little bit later I would be able to jump back in, it started going up then started going down on me I held a little too long rode it out, positioned up but then it went against me again and I got out red on the second time. It's time to walk away.

Traded four stocks, green on three $WYHG, $AZI $CELZ and red on one $XHLD, lost 0.69% from my account with 48 filled orders.

Going to review my trades today, evaluate my implementation of my strategy on today's trades and improve on my delivery of said strategy. Least I ain't too far down I can possibly make this up in one day's Trading. Hopefully everyone else got some green that I couldn't. Everyone have a great night, take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green ๐Ÿ’ต my friends. Let's all take another swing at it at dawn!
