Daiello's Portfolio

This Monday, September 17th, I will be starting to day trade using the skills i learned for the past 9 months.

I plan to make AT LEAST 500$ a week, which should be fairly easy due to the stocks i play. There are about 15 trading weeks until the end of the year, and at $500 a week i should see about $7,500 profit ($10,000 ending balance). I used to make about $500 a week when i was roofing/framing so now that i am in school, if i can bring in $500 a week WITHOUT slaving 9 hours a day, ill be very happy. I honestly believe $500 is a minimum, and i should be seeing closer to $1000 a week. (That is unless i happen to lose all my skill/luck overnight haha)

I have put a set of rules together for myself to follow. I have also learned from the past few months, to not jump into any trades for the hell of it. If i am bored, i get away from the computer.

At the end of each day i will be posting the # of trades i made, my starting balance, gain/loss, ending balance and my % change. I may also go into the buys/sells as well as my holdings.

I am really excited to see how i do, my starting balance is $2,500, and because i can flip all day i am going to take advantage of that. No longer do i have to wait to get out of a play if its going down, no longer do i have to hold over night if i dont want to. I can buy on dips, sell at highs, and repeat.

(PS. If anyone cares to day trade with under $25,000, please contact me and i will give you the company information)

Wish me luck :D

Probably the worst trading day of my life.

I was in one and when it started to go down i just dumped for a very large loss, made some on SCON but not much, and broke even (minus commissions) on a few others. So i have decided to not disclose gains losses until end of week.

But yeah today is just about -$400 so thats a good -20% in 1 DAY.

Ouch! Maybe you thought about it a little harder when your round trips were limited?

[daiello]

Yup, im disgusted.

-100$ today

Puts me under 2000$

The reasoning behind this is definately because i have unlimited trades.

I was in a play and got out even today that would have put me up 20%.

I was in a play yesterday that i lost huge on because i got out too early and it rocketed up for 100% from my entry.

Ok Man, grab you a deep breath and plan your actions... plan them well... then trade your plan. By all mean allow your self an emergency exit; but trade like you know how.

I know what you mean though... I asked a new friend early this morning what he thought about CLWL, he said it was cheap but wasn't going anywhere.... I didn't play it... It closed up 127% today..

Lol yeah its tough sometimes.

I made up a majority of my gains just now, +466.20, overall = -94$

[daiello]

Things are going much better now, as you are about to see, a majority of my losses are under 10% . I have been profitable my last 7 trades.

I'd like to see what your parameters for your trades are. Do you play momo stocks or T/A for the most part?
