March 13th


Another good day, it seems. Still, two days is not a trend. 100 days is a trend!
A real stinker of an exit at 10:18 am, though. Waiting another 12 minutes would have given me a solid profit on what was a $1.99 per share loss. Patience is hard to generate when the bottom is falling out of your trade, that's for sure. ON a positive note, I was happy to actually add to a position as it was moving in my favor on one occasion today; 11:12 am on GS. Adding to winners is something I need to work on.
Paper-traded three stocks today; 1 FAS for a 5 cent gain per share, 7 on GS for $1.66, and 13 on SKS for $1.47.
17 for 21 winners, an 81% success rate. Gain of $3.19 per share.
