March 30th


Gains on the day but a major loser in reality. This trade was only saved because I averaged a better price on the original trade which should have been sold with the gain I had -OR- stopped out when I felt momentum reverse on me at 1:40-1:45 pm. And, I did feel the momo change and I stared at it dumbly. My technical skills have vastly improved over the past year but I am still struggling with the same mental blocks. This is why I haven't gone back to trading with real money. I often feel so close to my goal. My instincts are good enough now to make money trading. I do believe this to be true. But, I cannot take the risks with my trading account to do what I did today.

It seems crazy that I should be disappointed with a $500 gain, but I surely am. I am optimistic that this will be solved. My future and others around me depend on it.
