That's It For This Week

Dumb trades.

Stroke

Only a few days after returning to game, I have the feeling that although I may survive this time, gamewise, but I will probably die of a heart attack. No kidding. It's a lot harder than 10 years' ago, physically.

I'm still prone to stupid trading - forcing myself a trade for no reason. Cool down.

Ending Bal: 61,481

8230

A predicatable day - Sell, sell, sell.

If DOW manages to climb back to 8230 (currently 8195 1:30pm (EST)), switch to buy.

Ending Bal: 64,508

Another Fruitless Day

Started the day with a couple of profitable trades but failed to hold on to the gains towards the end. DOW was stronger than expected. The late surge in the last 10 minutes wiped out all profits today.

Ending Balance: €59,236

About This Blog

This is primarily a scratchpad for my day trading. It will include notes, thoughts, observations or anything that may cross my mind while not gazing at the computer monitor looking for clues as to how the market is going to fluctuate in the short term.

Margin trading is highly speculative and as such has very little to do with investments (unless, of course, you consider investments are simply speculations that have gone wrong). This is not a place for financial advice - I believe that those who give financial advice are not at all qualified to do so while those who are qualified will not do so.

I'm a gambler and not a particularly good one. One thing I have to keep reminding myself is that this is not a game. This is real money and I should be very careful of what I am doing with it.
