Regarding today's trading. I will not post any numbers because my position is still opened, but msot probably I've again blow up at least 50-70% of my account, but this time it was a big account. The interesting part is, I don't regret about my trades, I like the way I traded and I don't even...

You are right I don't have consistent strategy, I basically trade at least two of them: breakouts\breakdowns and reversals. But that is why I'm here, since I got to post my trades I'm obligated every evening open a chart, find my trades and try to analyze it at least as much as I can at this...

Hi tomorton, I don't know the best way to get from A to B and I don't know what I need to learn to improve my trading. That is why I'm here and having this journal because the purpose of it is trying everything until I will get it. If everybody knew everything at the beginning of their path...

At one point didn't care about ToS account again, one day I'll complain that I'm an idiot and was using it without stop losses. Also I don't even know how many days in a raw I buy right at the reversal point and don't hold it even until 50% of the move. All of my reversal trades were right at...

Terrible trading today because the whole day was slow to me, I didn't know what to do except to take some quick small scalp. Made several mistakes but they weren't that huge. The biggest mistake though is, I was waiting for SPY reversal for 3 hours! I knew it's going to go down at least to...

There are several things I wanna mention: 1. I don't care about ToS account that much so I mostly gamble with it. Have to stop doing that, think about plays and %, not the amount of money it has. 2. When I trade Tasty account I'm too scary, it's something I will need to work on. I know during...

Wrong position counter: 1 Up = 8.3% ToS = $1316 Tasty = $4559 SPY (ToS) SPY (Tasty)

Now about my trading day. First of all I was joking about counter for wrong orders, but it's really a problem now and I I'm going to put the counter on each of my post from now, I hope it will help me to keep it in mind every time before a trade remind myself that CALLs are to the LEFT and PUTs...

Hi NVP, Thank you for your advice I'm pretty sure you are doing it with good intention but after live account there is no way I will come back to papers, it's just wasting of time because even though I don't have a good system yet, in most cases my emotions and self control is the reason I lose...

Alright another stupid day where only inability to cut my loss destroys the whole day. I also need to make a counter here of how many times per day I mess up with orders. Bought CALLs when I needed to buy PUTs again...Right at the breakdown. I wait for the day when I will not work anymore...

I have a bad system it's a fact, but I was pretty consistent lately, the problem with me is that I can be consistent for a long time but after that I lose my focus and lose all the profits I had in one day... Thanks for the advice, I work on it but it's not easy. For example today I again lost...

It was crazy day. I was able to take my money back, it is the biggest day for me so far regarding profits. I feel like I make more money only after big losses, because I begin trading braver and I'm more patient. I still don't have any reasons to be happy, yesterday was terrible day and I...

Here we go, I felt right. This is a mental game for sure... Fucked myself today, lost 75% of the ToS account. How would I do that? Few weeks ago I've found out that in a lot of cases I lose only when I listen to somebody, because I don't understand the trade and just blindly take it. So I...

Okay I'm impatient, the market is volatile now so I can't just sit by and watch how good moves happen without me. I've added $3500 to Tasty broker since I'm trading there much better. Don't think that I will be able to use all $5k tomorrow, but seems like I will have $2.5k already. Honestly got...

Up 4.1% ToS = $1016 Tasty = $1597 AAPL SPY TSLA
