Well my first full month of trading is behind me.  I am learning at a steady pace but have a long way to go. I practiced steadily throughout the month except the week of January 19th when I was in Shanghai with no access to my trading lessons or broker.

Technical/software errors cost me a lot, especially today with my $FCCG trading blunder. I need to be more focused and cautious when typing in orders, and any more of this in February will be unacceptable.  My $1500 account is down to $800 and I would love to break even in the next month. 

My strategic goals in February are to continue my training and practice, take smaller positions (easier now with the diminished account size), and scale into breakout trades instead of over investing and having to cut losses too quickly.
