Sorry but I'm out of here. So far I have had 2 phonecalls to my house which I don't tolerate from a freaking internet forum. Never in my life has this happened. Never signed up for a forum that asked for your tele #. Good luck everyone

Been busy, quick update: Sold the loser I held. (900) loss ........dang! Then I had a nice 700 gain the next day and got most of it back. Then yesterday I made a little under 800. This morning, I made a nice 500 gain, shorted my trading stock. Just got into Ford but it's dropped a bit. Looking for an afternoon comeback.

............anyways, no trades on Friday. No gain/loss. Made a mistake that hopefully doesn't bit me in the rear. Had the position that I held overnight expecting a jump. Well it did but I held on too long. I've left many trades too early and left a lot of profit out there. So this time I told myself to hold on a little longer. Well it got to a $600 gain and then it dropped. The stock pretty much finished flat, up just a bit.

It feels great. In November last year I had a 14k day. Should have been 22k but I held on too long. PS I made 40k that month. Signed, HotShot - thanks for the comment btw, next time keep it to yourself cuz this time you lost

Great day for me. Realized I was not smart yesterday putting a trade in on a different stock. No reason to get away from something that has been good to me. I made three round trips, all winners that gave me a little over $800 of gains. The only downside of the day is that I ended up buying around 3,000 shares that went down and I held on to them. Made a run up at the end of the day and after hours the stock was up nice. I'm hoping for a decent gain from this as it really got sold off today. Great day though. I almost took a vacation day as I woke up with that bad feeling and I really didn't want to get into the market. Good thing I didn't.

Up and down day, 3 trades. Rough numbers: 200 gain 300 loss 300 gain Should have never gotten into the trade that resulted in the loss. Jumped into a stock I've been thinking about day trading. Was up quite a bit so I shorted it and the dang thing kept going. Just not familiar with it like my other stock I trade. Bummed about the loss but still up $200 at the end of the day which was my daily goal when I started. Could complain but just need to be happy with it and go into tomorrow fresh. Holding no trading positions right now.

A few trades for the day, right around a $600 gain. Sold my position I held overnight from last week for a $406 gain. Wanted more but it just wasn't happening today for the stock. Then I shorted it for a $126 gain. Shorted it again for a $72 gain. Bought a couple thousand shares of F when it was down and am holding it. Not looking to hold it long, just a couple hundred bucks or so and then I'm out. I'll be honest, it's very strange that a $600 day doesn't even get me very excited anymore. I guess that's why they say trading is so mental. Just need to stay focused and keep doing what I'm doing.

1,000 shares each. The prices were roughly $11 and $34 a share. One was Ford which I normally don't day trade with but I saw an opportunity and took it. The other was the stock that I'm keeping quiet about and almost all my day trading gains from this year come from. This stock I normally get in with 1,000 shares, sometimes more. I made another purchase later on Friday, 2,000 shares this time on my "trading stock". The price was just too good. Got in low so while the share was down over 1.5% I'm actually up. Still have it and plan on keeping it for a few days if needed. I can see it going up a buck or so a share as I feel it's priced very well right now. Thanks for the question and good trading.

Done for the day unless something pops up. Market dropped big time and bought a couple stocks. Both rallied for a nice gain that took about an hour tops. 367 gain 204 gain 570 total gain So far so good this year. Still staying grounded as I know my lucky streak will end soon. Good trading everyone

Good day - I'm getting out of the markets early as I'm up and my kids are getting out early due to snow. Sold my overnight position for a $381 gain. Shorted a stock and it wasn't moving much so I sold it for a small loss as I didn't really want to spend the next few hours in front of the computer as my kids are getting home soon. Loss was probably around $50 including commissions. So a net day of around $331. The better news is that F did exactly what I wanted it to do. Went down nice today and I got back in under the price I sold it for. Picked up a little over 100 shares due to the price difference. Didn't get it at the low but pretty close. As of now it's had a nice rebound so I've got a nice unrealized gain and 100 or so more shares. Best of luck

I agree. I pretty much sold out of emotion. I've told myself this whole time to just keep it but when it hit over 2% for the day my brain just said SELL. Oh well, a mistake but at least it's a mistake in the black and not red. Still holding my trade from yesterday. I bought around the low but it just kinda stayed there. I have confidence in the stock to hold it overnight. Looking for some buyers to pick it up after the drop. Good luck everyone in their trades today!

Still in a trade that I made today, down just a bit. The stock the past few days has rallied at the close so I've got a couple more hours. Not doing much so I thought I would hop on here. Just sold Ford which I'm still kicking myself for. Recognized gain of $8,252 which is great but it kept climbing. I thought it would come down after a nice climb up today. Will hope for a down day to get back in as I'm still looking to get a lot more gain from it.

2 trades that netted a $151 gain for the day. 137 loss 288 gain Pretty tough to get that, by far the hardest day of the year. Was down over $1,000 at one point but managed to get back to an ok day. I feel like I should be happy with today but I have many mixed emotions right now. Doubled up on the stock that resulted in the gain, pretty foolish at the time but I guess it worked out. Looking forward to tomorrow. PS My Ford position was flat.

Thanks for the advice. I'll have to play it by ear and see as I'm not sure how often I'll update. I don't mind saying I'm long on Ford but I won't be showing/telling about the stock that I normally trade. It's not a high volume stock and I'd like to keep it that way if you know what I mean. If people have problems with that or don't believe me I guess it's no skin off my back as I'll just head somewhere else or stop the forum thing. thx again

Nice day, kept my winning streak going. 3 winning trades for a $796 gain. Also holding a good chunk of Ford that went up but no gain recognized. My goal is to get 20-30% out of it before I sell her.
