Today was a pretty easy day. Caught some nice scalps in the morning, didn't risk alot, and caught some of the upside in the afternoon. Good job.

After a crazy weekend in Gainesville watching the Gators kill the hapless Dores, I continued on my winning ways. i used patience for the most part today. I had a great long trade in GS on the early reversal that i could made 10 bucks on, but got out way too early... i tend to be very cautious at the beginning of the day which I have to rectify.... like too cautious, and then take big risks at the end of the day. I made a bit off the late day rally too, but generally got out early or chased too much. I got very lucky a couple of times.

I got out of RIMM early, and made some good doh off it, except I decided to scalp some stuff in an horrendous market... and got beaten to the floor by it... damn me! Great week overall, but if I do stupid things like this, I'm gonna be going back to the dogs...

I'm off to Gainesville!!!

Got killed on a RIMM trade... chased a bitch and got smacked... I kept a huge chunk for tomorrow morning, I'm hoping for a popp on the open or I could be destined for misery.

Pretty good day. Took the reverse on Garmin at open and got out at the right time. I'm finally getting on a roll.

It's been a while...

Wow, it has been a while. Between working too much and travelling too much, I almost forgot all about writing in here. But in essence I know why. Lately I have been raping the stock market. I guess eventually something just clicked in my brain to stop me doing stupid things and start making it instead of losing it. In essence too, it's like I'm not even trying. I don't watch the markets as much, I don't trade as much, I keep swing positions open for longer than 10 minutes (after all, they are SWING POSITIONS) and when I scalp I've been able to force myself to take losses... even if they do get slightly out of hand due to not having a stop. Wow. Why didn't I do that before I dropped all the bucks? I guess the only way to learn is to kill yourself thinking you know better than discipline and hard work. Take risks, but don't take them AFTER you are down big... Take them when the time is right. I guess it takes time. I don't know when I'll write again. It may be a while. But be sure, as long as things are going right, discipline is in place and I'm making and not losing, life will seem alot easier and less stressful.

Cheers!
