November 30th & December 1st


I took SKF short on a paper-trade yesterday before my day-job duties. I was out and couldn't cover so I covered before going to day-job this morning. Here are the trades. I'll try to get into the market later this afternoon if I can. Doubtful though, as day-job is quite busy...
I had a good feeling about my entry on SKF but rest-assured, this type of trade is not my ideal one. I prefer to get out EOD and not leave trades unattended. Nice gain but too risky for real-money.

November 25th



My first foray into the markets this week. Day job and fall projects are keeping me busy and away from the markets more than I'd like.

Still, my enthusiasm hasn't dampened and I still know that trading is my future. When... I'm not sure.

I did a little of the "What's Familiar" on the chart of FAS. Doji's and near-dojis, close of 5-min candles at their high or low: all familiar signs of reversal.

A good Thanksgiving to all... and for those who are not from the United States, I wish the spirit of our Thanksgiving to you. I know that I have much to be thankful for.

November 20th

Got two chances today to look in on the markets and have some paper-trade fun.
