I made $633.00 my 1st day. A decent start so far for my trading career. I didn't reach my daily goal of $1,500 but maybe I'll make up for it another day this month.
I went into today being very cautious and aware of how much money I was risking in each trade. This is a mindset I need to keep if I want to be continuously successful at day trading.
However, I was a little TOO cautious today. I took profits on a trade with SCOR about .70 cents above where I should have exited (missed an additional $700 of profit).
I missed another trade completely by typing in my order and sitting with my finger on the trigger too long, Whiffing on another +$800 trade (LGIH)
The reason for my over-cautiousness was mostly due to the fact that I'm using a trading interface that I'm not used to yet.
I used to use USAA (which is complete garbage if you're a day trader) and now I'm using IB. Ill get used to IB interface pretty fast though I think. IB is FAR better than USAA.
Cool story bro. Post your trades and prove them. Otherwise this is total bull crap.
@ProfitTurtle Calm down bro, like I said, its my 1st day back with live money and my 1st day on IB, I tried to upload my trades from IB but for some reason it gives me an error saying I have no trades to upload. Will try again tomorrow, maybe it will be able to find them in 24 hours. As of right now, I don't know why it's giving me this error other than maybe it needs a day to process my trades.
@ticblaster thanks, no, I started trading because I found Tim Grittani about 3 years ago and started trying to copy him. That worked really well for me for a few months and I quickly made $25,000....I must have been on a lucky streak because I lost all 25k over the course of the next few months. But I've been paper trading for 6 months now and I think I have a winning strategy that I'm finally ready to use.
@brandonw90523 wow! As i can see, it's not (only) a penny stock strategy
