Well, far from not trading… I found a lot of little trades to make. Unfortunately, like I predicted, this was not my kind of market. I like to get in at surgically precise points, where price moves right away. Instead, today, a lot of times I’d take a loss, then re-enter for a gain. The moves were just slightly too choppy for me, taking me out of the initial entry. Also, my performance after the fed announcement wasn’t too great, because the time it took to get my fills made me jumpy. I could have made a lot of money long NVDA… instead I made 3 small gains and 1 small loss on it. WEAK.

As a result, I made relatively little money today. But, it was fun.

I talked 3 freaking seconds too long for youtube’s fickle tastes… so instead of editing it on my mac, I downloaded a shareware AVI splitter and just split it into two parts. Faster, and should avoid the aspect-ratio black bars that make things harder to read.

I have been trading terribly the past month. I managed to wipe out all my gains from February. Today is the first decent day in a long while. Financial pressures are playing a big part in my poor performance. I chose not to post too much until I got my shit together. I decided on the weekend to pull it together on Monday, and it seemed to work. So, now that the pressure is still on, I will show the market what I got….through patience. Of course the market taking off today didn’t hurt either ;)
Trade 1: THE

Trade 2: KR
