I started paper trading about 6 months ago but took a break about 3 months in trying to gather the funds to open a real account. In the meantime I've been studying my butt off watching Tim's HTMM DVD's. I've finally gotten the funds together to open up a real account at the start of February. So for the rest of this month I'm going to get back into the swing of things with my sleeping schedule and paper trading to get me ready for the real deal.

Today was my 1st day paper trading in 3-4 months, I failed and woke up later so didn't get to the market until about noon so I missed the morning movers. I saw some buzz on Twitter about SUNE and went and watched the chart for an hour and decided I was gonna hop in when it went down a tad more. I bought in SUNE with 100 shares @$2.76 and was biting my nails waiting for it to get to $3.06. As it was approaching the $3.04 and saw the buyers go up significantly in level 2 so put in my sell order of 100 shares @ $3.10. It kept going up and hit $3.10 and saw my sell order get executed. Sure it was a small trade but I'm starting with a small account next month so wanted to trade realistically to what I will be.  I may have only made a $35 profit but it reassured me know what I'm doing from studying from Tim. :)
