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.

Hola, folkses. 😊 My morning trading session was pretty nutty. Ups and downs and ups and downs. I started out down about... $50? I don't remember for sure. Then I got up about $230, I think. Then I lost just about all of that. Then I went into the green about $350. I almost walked … Continue reading 2022-04-19 — Near Misses

Hello, my lovelies! 🙂 Things have gone mostly well today, so that helps in fighting the heavy, hard stuff I've been drowning in. Started off with a good morning trading stocks--made $819. I'm about $640 away from being back to break even on this grand stock market experiment. I was actually up more than $819 … Continue reading 2022-04-18 — Positives

You know, I had big plans for today. I was gonna get all this stuff done. And then I was going to go to bed early, so I wasn't exhausted to start the week. Whoops. Didn't really accomplish much of anything today other than cutting down some dead trees and clearing out a crap ton … Continue reading 2022-04-17 — Had Big Plans

Been hard lately, really hard. I keep saying I'm gonna keep fighting, and I imagine I will because I don't really know how to quit, I don't think, but I want to quit. I'm tired. So tired. I've been manufacturing reasons to get up in the morning, manufacturing hope and purpose. But I don't really … Continue reading 2022-04-16 — …

I've been a bit of a zombie today, so much sleep deprivation lately that I'm not really... present? I'm just sort of zoned out. I wasn't really capable of doing anything today, and the day is a bit of a haze. Decided not to fix cars today. It was rainy for part of the day, … Continue reading 2022-04-15 — Zombie

Only got like 3 hours, ish, of sleep last night. Super tired. I'm falling asleep while I'm chewing. That's... interesting. Up early, running and gunning, so to speak, with stocks. I made one trade, and I should have made money on it, but somehow my stock trading software got goofed up, so even though I … Continue reading 2022-04-14 — To Dreamland

(guess it didn't actually post when I published last night) Rough day, on a lot of fronts. But I'm a live. I'm tired. Brain isn't working. Life is hard. Got some tax stuff done today. That was good. The state wanted additional documentation for what I submitted a couple months ago. Funny thing is that … Continue reading 2022-04-13 — Rain Rain
