* Wow, this was an absolute picture of "Inaction" and/or "Fear" dictating a trade decision! I thought the bottom was in and bought long. Inaction caused me to hold during continued drop. It kept dropping and I finally sold out of fear. That sell price was the very bottom price of the day ($139.63). Holding would have yielded a nice gain a little later; a great start on a terrific run... the biggest problem was that I didn't sell to cut my loss and wait for that bottom to develop.

+.16 cents on SKF * this was a click and reverse off the prior -.62 cent loss. something I want to practice more if I miss a direction change. I could have used it earlier on the -.96 cent loss in SKF.

+ .96 cents on SKF * this gain was taken between 13:49 and 13:59. I thought this was a good place to stop and had other duties away from the computer.

Once I figure out how to take screen shots and post them to the blog, I will show the Trade Records directly from my IB account which include action, quantity, underlying, price, time, commission, and realized P & L; if I can do so without revealing personal data about my account.

Not bad at all. If you come out positive after commissions you're obviously doing something right =D
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Thanks CP. However, even though I'm new at this, I realize that two or three positive days in a row do not constitute a trend. But, a trend is what I'm looking for... from that I'll acurately be able to judge my performance. I have last Thursday and Fridays results to post when I make the time. It's a new blog and time must be budgeted to maintain it. I'll try to update it often enough to keep what few readers I have! Thanks again...
