Ugh. It's been a rough day today. Not sure why it was so bad. I guess it was carryover from yesterday? I don't know. Work was slow again, which is odd, given the time of year. Guess inflation has been hitting people hard. Can't think of any real other reason. Calls picked up in the … Continue reading 2022-04-29 — After Another

You wouldn't think that a green day could be worse than the day I lost $3800... but it was. Like 3 minutes after the opening bell, I was already up $1200+. I traded that stock really well. Then I went for another stock that looked super good, and suddenly I was down like $1000 (holding, … Continue reading 2022-04-28 — Kick in the Teeth

Today was a bit of a bust. Spent way too long trading this morning. I was up $700 before the market even officially opened. Then I got caught in a halt down so fast that I couldn't even sell (can't use market orders in premarket, so you're stuck with limit orders, and I just couldn't … Continue reading 2022-04-27 — Bust

Happy Tuesday, folkses. 😊 Ready for the recap? 🙃 Wild trading morning today. I almost retired from trading altogether today. I started taking some trades premarket because I caught a stock as it was starting to break out, and so I was in the green early before the normal trading day opened. So it was … Continue reading 2022-04-26 — Happy 800th! 🥳

Hola, wonderful folkses. 😊 Green day in the morning trade session. It was a wild one, but in the end, I managed to be up $528. Traded mostly on just one stock that went from $7.77 to $20 just today. I, of course, didn't catch anywhere near that much of the swing. overall, I got … Continue reading 2022-04-25 — Uptick

Hola, world. 🙂 Happy end of weekend/beginning of another week! Let's see... I went to bed a bit earlier last night, which meant I got up a bit earlier as well, so that was good. The early morning is a bit of a blur. I renewed the ad I had out on Indeed.com, working toward … Continue reading 2022-04-24 — Only Slightly Disobedient

Coming up on midnight tonight, and I'm tired--eyes are tired, and a yawn just came and went. I'm gonna crash here shortly, but can't do that until I write here. I slept in today, sleeping until about 9ish. I still didn't get that much sleep because I didn't even go to bed until about 3 … Continue reading 2022-04-23 — Warranty Rescue

Biggest losing day trading wise I've had in my short career. Almost $4k down today. Why? Because of self discipline issues. I'm going to give it one more day. If I have one more day where I can't discipline myself, then I'm going to let go of trading indefinitely. No sense trying to force it … Continue reading 2022-04-22 — Weekend to Ponder

Rough trading day. Lost a good bit trading stuff I shouldn't have. Frustrated I can't seem to just follow my own rules of good sense. Gonna give myself a little longer, but if I can't discipline myself, then... I guess we'll see me retire from the trading experiment. I guess if there's any consolation, today … Continue reading 2022-04-21 — It’s An Entry

Today's title was in reference to my day's stock trading experience. Oof. 😬 I started the day up like $12 in premarket trading. Then shortly after the opening of the normal day trading session, a stock surged just the way I want them to. Over the course of the next very little while, I found … Continue reading 2022-04-20 — Walk Away, Stephen. Walk Away.
