Richard and I traded the same stock today, ONXX. Two ways to make moola on the same stock using different methodologies. I also traded CAL but went in Willy Nilly, as ill-advised by Maoxian for a R 0.4 loss on 1/2 of a position. I won’t post a chart, cause it is hard to chart Willy Nilly.

Good morning,
Just recently come across your site. Having like you spent years in ‘corp wonder land’ I’m now reevaluating and perhaps doing what I’ve always wanted to anyway - trade and play it my way! Very new to the concepts involved here but researching furiously to try and get a modicum of knowledge that might allow me to make a buck. As per your comment I’m aiming tot ake elements of my corp exp and role it into my trading to at least ensure some level of accountability - if only to myself. To that end I keep a monthly reporting doc that captures pre/post fund value, trades anticipated/objectives etc and of course results/lessons learnt. Mid month, 3 days post expiration date, I ‘meet’ with my wife and take her through the months activity - she doesn’t really get what the hell I’m doing but it forces me to THINK about my actions and plans.
I’ll continue reading through your site and links, as I’m sure you’ve incorporated plenty of useful ideas/concepts, and if OK will I’m sure come back with some questions.
One small point I’d mention, perhaps others having the same problem, when I open your chart pics they’re largely unreadable - what file format are you saving them in?
All the best and good luck.

Do you mean it’s hard to read the text in the pics that Zoomie posts? I think in some browsers, they will show a scaled-down version to fit on your screen which makes the text very blurry or pixellated.. usually clicking on it when it’s in that state blows it up to full size. If you mean that you can’t see the pic at all, I’m not sure what the problem would be because they are all standard PNGs. Prospectus posts standard GIFs sometimes, which also should not give any problems. I don’t post as many pics anymore, since I mainly do videos now.

Nice job, Zoomie.
@BAT: Just refer to my posts for willy nilly charts.

I will post the next willy nilly chart. Happens once in a while. You’ll look at the chart and say, “Boy, Zoomie went in there willy nilly.” Or, sometimes I say, “WTF was I thinking.” So I guess they could be be called WTF charts as well.
