I’ve invited Zoomie to post his trades here if he should ever feel like it. Anyone else out there not otherwise blogging their trades, feel free to contact me if you’d like to get your trades posted on a blog that plenty of people read. And if we can’t find one of those, we can just post them here at MtM… :-)
Zoomie had a good week, and his trading style is somewhat different than mine, so it’s neat to have the contrast here. He won 25% of the time, but still came out winning 7 times his risk across 12 trades. Good job! He wanted to give Trader-X a shout-out for having such a great blog. He goes through X’s trades daily, as do I.
Here are the charts, with Zoomie’s annotations (click to enlarge). Feel free to comment or ask questions.

Zoomie, good to see you posting your results! Best of luck, thanks Richard for the opp. to watch another day trader in action!

@dan: no problem. Maybe some others will want to join in, which would be great. I think, the more example trades we can view and discuss, the better.
At the risk of sounding like a complete shill for StockTickr, I should point out that’s one of the reasons I like our StockTickr chart review so much. There are at least 3 public participants so far, with several others prefering to keep their charts private.

Dan: No problemo. I am not a seasoned pro whatsoever, but I have been daytrading full time for 1 year and 3 months, and I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once…;).

Richard,
That’s a good idea. We got the chance to see more traders posted their trades. I like to see the real trades, and I have learnt a lot from blogger like you, X ,estocastica etc.
Zoomie, welcome on board!

Dan, Gav, Estocastica,Ugly and John:
Thank you, and Thank YOU guys for sharing your trades and putting the effort in to your blogs!! MaoXianMaoXian’s blog was the first I came across for daytrading almost 2 years ago. Because of him, since I started daytrading, I have always put a stop loss in and adhered to it, cause he told me to…. 95 times ;). That was the only thing that kept me in the game. If it wasn’t for pros and amateurs alike sharing their trades, methodology, and psychology, it would be tougher for all who wish to learn.

Great addition. Go Zoomie!

Trader-X,
Thank you! Hopefully it is apparent that I look for set-ups similar to yours. I owe it to you that I turned my trading around. Thank you so much for your positive and constructive teaching through your blog!
