x - 50% swing h/l, 8 ema, stop @ .75 changed to .63 which was .03 below 10 am breakout candle

csx - bull flag, stop .06

fcx stop @ .92...38%...yesterdays high

mee (never got) 50%, 20 sma, green bar, stop @ .09

didn't want to push my luck in aig with one last trade. that thing is a beast. i'll get back to doing the charts soon












don't know why i got out at .02. i have to start writing down my reasoning. i know the prior candles high was .05












trying to short the retracement. got out as it went above .82 which is .03 above the 10:15 candle. looking back, i could have given it a few more pennies, but they say you need to respect your stops because when you don't it will kill your account. and the problem is, if i wouldn't have gotten out, the trade would have worked, and then i would be less inclined to respect my stops next time. lose lose situation. either i need to get better prices, or i need to scale in more and take more share size, or i need wider stops. have to figure it out as we go. i also plan on printing all my charts, and going over them in the next week or so. i have to see what i have done wrong in the past so i don't make the same mistakes. i feel i am getting slightly better but i need to find these picks and have confidence in them.

finally

getting closer to making money.

closer to making money but not yet. almost there. need to stop hesi trading. have to print and review all my old charts.
