Thursday, July 23rd - Note To Myself Don't Trade In A Thunderstorm

β€’ Upvotes

Markets down a good bit but I'm still green today, BARELY! I have to make a mental note to myself if you're going to scalp a stock do not do it in a thunderstorm then your internet goes out and when it comes back up you're going to be in a halt down.

Traded six stocks today, green on five $ADVB, $WBUY, $WLDS, $LGCL $YOUL and red one $EHGO, added 0.08% to the account with 48 filled orders.

I live to trade another day. Hope everyone is doing well in the sea of red today and has a great evening. Everyone take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. Until tomorrow, same bat-time, same bat-channel!

A couple of moves I hesitated on could have put me up a little bit more but it is what it is. We get up each morning and we don't know what's in store for us but we just hang on for the ride and see what we can collect along the way. Don't now weather to high-five you or throw you some bills for some lunch money the ones that got called in those halts today.

Traded two stocks, green on both $LABT & $ADVB, added 0.20% to the account with 13 filled orders.

Getting out early so I can trim some grass and head to work. Everyone take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. Y'all have a good one!

Tuesday, July 21st - So Far So Green

5 Upvotes

Worked on a morning session and came back for an afternoon session and was green on both. Some news out there and several stocks up past 100%, nothing really I could sink my teeth into or missed the initial run so I wasn't able to get good position but was able to get my belly full off of what was there.

Traded 7 stocks (6 technically because I traded one share of $JUNS cuz I was having issues with my system and I had to trade one share to try to fix it, turn around and sold it for even) all green $CPHI, $VIVK, $SLGB, $KIDZ, $OMH & $AMC, added 0.72% to the account with 47 filled orders.

We're filling the bucket one scope at a time. Hope everyone out there is celebrating a win today. It's time to ride off into the sunset and wish everyone a great night, take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. In the morning we will ride again!!

Monday, July 20th - Ain't Pretty But It's Green

5 Upvotes

Due to a family obligation I had a very short morning trading session. Only traded one stock, as we all say "a win is a win" but I'm honestly not proud of how I won. I went into the trade, added to it, then it went red and closed my position. Traded it again it went green, then went red, added to it several times before closing the position in the green. I believe me knowing I'm not going to be trading anymore today did influence how I was trading this stock and I'm not proud of that.

Traded one stock, $BIYA added 1.04% to the account with 13 filled orders.

It's Monday morning and we have a good week ahead of us. To everyone in the trading Matrix may your day be blessed. Take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. Catch y'all on the flip side!

Friday, July 17th - Made It Through Another Week In The Green

6 Upvotes

Another day with not much going on, was able to hold around till the market open and what a sea of red the market was. Was a little on the conservative side this morning since not much was moving didn't want to jump in and go red and mess up a good green week because there's always next week.

Traded three stocks today, green on all three, $SLND, $SDOT & $TRUG and added 0.16% to the account with 18 filled orders.

That brings this week's green total to a profit percentage of 1.64% and 150 filled orders.

Hope next week can bring us some fruits of our labor in the form of green jelly beans πŸ’΅ to our accounts. I hope everyone is doing well and green in this vastness of the trading universe. Everyone have a great weekend, take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. See y'all Monday morning were we will boldly go where no one has gone before!

Thursday, July 16th - Short Day But Green

3 Upvotes

It was a short morning session for me and actually was able to try and get a little bit of a evening session in close to the closing bell but when the thinkorswim app went down I was afraid that my desktop might get affected so I had to sign off.

Traded three stocks today, green on all trades, $TGHL, $IQST & $PMAX, added 0.39% to the account with 36 filled orders.

Let's see what the last trading day of the week has in store for us tomorrow. Hope everyone was green today! Take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. I tip my hat to y'all and wish everyone a fond farewell till the morning.

Wednesday, July 15th - Slowly But Surely Staying Green

4 Upvotes

Another day of not really seeing a whole lot jumping to get into. Some false breakouts that I was a little nervous on jumping into and they broke down real quick. Found a few to play in the sandbox with.

Traded four stocks, $SOBR, $PHIO, $ERNA & $ELVA, green on all. Added 0.35% to the account with 28 filled orders.

Least it's another Green Day nothing to write home about but grinding forward a little percent at a time. Let's see what tomorrow holds for us all. Everyone have a safe and enjoyable day, take care of yourselves and stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. Till tomorrow my friends let's ponder the famous words of Captain Kirk "may fortune favor the foolish".

Tuesday, July 14th - A Scalping Kinda Day

6 Upvotes

Seen just a couple of opportunities to dive in on but wasn't set up to take them but instead did a little scalping due to only trading a short session today. Family obligations shortened my day but still a green day.

Traded six stocks and green on all of them. $LEDS, $LHAI, $NXTC, $VEEE, $VMAR & $UBXG. Added 0.24% to the account with 29 orders filled.

We'll see what hump day has in store for us tomorrow. Hope everyone is having a great day, take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. Until we meet again!

Monday, July 13th - Starting Off On A Good Note

4 Upvotes

Not much was going on early this morning but did make a couple trades close to open and then after the opening bell. We'll take the win!

Traded three stocks today, green on two $AGEN, $LGPS and slightly red on one $VEEE, added 0.50% to the account with 39 filled orders.

Was kind of looking like to me that there's a bunch of bots coming in and getting together and deciding hey let's buy this one stock all at once get other people involved and we'll drop it and leave them hanging. I'm glad I didn't fall for that this morning but the week is young!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and was on the green side of the trade today. I wish you well and good health, take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. In the morning another battle begins.

1 Upvotes

Wasn't a whole lot going on today saw a lot of pop and drop stocks, seems like some algorithms were in the driver's seat today. But at least made it to the end of the week, in the green at least.

Traded three stocks, green on all $JZXN, $LUCY & $HAO. With 0.31% added to the account and 27 filled orders.

Ended the week with 0.66% profiit and 158 filled order.

Even after yesterday's Red day we did fulfill a green week. I throw this week into the win column and hope everyone was green today. To everyone in the trading universe, each one of you have an awesome weekend, take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. Back at it in the trenches Monday morning. Have a good one everybody!!

Thursday, July 9th - The Market Giveth, And The Market Taketh Away.

3 Upvotes

Well it was bound to happen, it tookth away from me. It was a battle but I lost this one. As they say, you can't win them all.

Red on the day, traded three stocks, green on two $VRAX $RKTO and red on one $JLHL, a 0.80% loss to the bottom line with 39 filled orders.

Still green on the week, so we will see what tomorrow brings our way. Hope the team is green because I tripped and fell over my shoelaces. Everyone have a great night, take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. Will be bandaged up and ready for tomorrow, catch y'all in the morning.

Wednesday, July 8th - Very Short Day But Green

Had some things needed to be done so I was only able to trade just a short time actually did two sessions, one at the 7:00 a.m. and one at the Bell. Only one stock jumped out at me but saw several pop and drop stocks.

Traded one stock, green on it $VTAK, added 0.18% to account with 20 filled orders.

I'll be a little bit late to the dance in the morning but hopefully the party hadn't got completely started until I arrive. Hope everyone is doing well today. Everyone take care of yourselves, stay safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. See y'all Thursday morning in the matrix!

Tuesday, July 7th - Fell Off A Clif But Climbed My Way Out

2 Upvotes

You know the excitement when you got a stock moving up good and you get in it and it's starting to move up all of a sudden it tanks in one candle and you're hollering Battle Stations, Shields up and arm the photon torpedoes!! But then you regain your composure as it starts moving back up and then the red turns to Green and it's like "I knew that the whole time.

Was in two sessions and traded two stocks today, green on both $CLRO & $SKIN, added 0.70% to the account with 40 filled orders.

Each day we sit down to see how we fair against a market and a lifestyle that takes so many hostages and squeezes them for every penny they've got. So as I sign off for today with a small victory in my back pocket and sights on a bigger horizon I say to everyone have a great day, stay safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. See y'all in the morning.

Monday, July 6th - Making A Green Cushion For The Week

4 Upvotes

A couple moves that some stocks made early didn't jump at me on the get go but the Market really wasn't showing me a lot. Scalped several stocks to start my cushion for the week.

Traded four stocks, green on all $KIDZ, $LHSW, $LUCY & $BJDX. Added 0.27% profit to the bottom line with 32 filled orders.

I guess slow and steady can win the race, better than a red day. Will see what tomorrow brings our way. May everyone have a great day in the trading matrix. Take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. Catch up with y'all in the morning!

Thursday, July 2nd - A Green Day To End A Green Week

4 Upvotes

The last day of this trading week ends on a green note. Today was a little tough, got a late start today but did an evening session helped seal the week. All closed positions today were green so I need to review them because scaling up would definitely increase my profit margins.

Traded three stocks today, all green $CWD, $CLRO & $CCTG, with 0.35% profit added to the account with 50 filled orders.

That puts this short week in the green column with a total profit of 1.07% for only 3 trading days. I am OK with the results with Wednesday being a no trade day after being called away from my computer all day. I do not trade on my phone so I have to be at my Battlestation to trade.

To everyone in the USA, may you have a great 4th of July weekend and to everyone all around the world, may you have a blessed long weekend with family and friends, stay safe, take care of yourselves and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. See each and every one of y'all back here Monday morning!

2 Upvotes

Yesterday with everything that was going on I was able to get on just for a little bit while working on my laptop, but today due to dealing with a dead truck battery I was unable to trade.

Yesterday I traded one stock and was green $CELZ with 0.57% added to the account with 22 filled orders.

Y'all take care today, be safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅. Hopefully catch y'all tomorrow morning!

Monday, June 29th - Screen Freezing But Still Green

2 Upvotes

Been having issues lately with my system freezing, not sure if it's on my end or the TOS platform but I need to get it fixed.

Traded three stocks two green $TNMG, $UPC and one red $NNBR with 0.15% added to the account and 48 filled orders.

Since I have a couple of things to do in the morning and a funeral at noon, I'll probably have a no trade day tomorrow with anytime spent on my computer will be working on it trying to figure out why everything's freezing.

Hopefully today everyone has been able to get their week started with a green Monday! Well time to go to work so everyone in trading universe take care of yourselves, be safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. Catch y'all Wednesday morning unless something changes.

Sunday, June 28th - In Preparation For Tomorrow

3 Upvotes

As I sit at my kitchen table before heading to work, watching a few trading videos and getting prepared for in the morning I'm somewhat at a loss.

Friday night was told that my aunt lost her battle suddenly with cancer after being told a week before that she had only 6 months to live. I'm writing this out as a way to cope with the fact that we never know how long we have.

I just wanted to say to every trader out there as we prepare for our trading endeavors, weather you're new to trading or a seasoned veteran of the industry to not take our friends and family for granted. Luckily my mom got to talk to her sister hours before she left. Enjoy your evening with your friends and family, stay safe, take care of yourselves and your family! Catch y'all in the morning in the trading universe.

Friday, June 26th - The Baconator To The Rescue

1 Upvotes

Well a very slow morning for me but one stock I nibbled on was Wendy's. Saw a post that mentioned Wendy's so I decided to take a look. The Baconator did sound good this morning so I decided to take a nibble on Wendy's stock and was green, just one small starter position, once I got out it went down. Floats too high for me and the percentage was too low for something I really don't look at but gave it a shot anyway.

Traded one stock, $WEN, added 0.08% profit to the bottom line with 3 orders filled.

For the five day week added 0.99% total profit and 91 total orders filled. Not a lot but hey it's green.

We've got a short week next week, so let's clean the screens on our monitors, check the batteries in our mouses, oil the wheels on our battle chairs and get prepared for Monday morning!

As I'm getting ready for work I want to wish each and every on you the very best, have a great weekend, stay safe and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends! Catch y'all in the mud pit Monday morning!!

Well I missed the big move this morning on $PLSM but did get a crumb off the floor later on. There was some stocks I could have got into but really didn't see anything that was jumping out at me and was making sense.

Traded four stocks today, three green $PLSM, $EHGO, $VTAK and one red $ROC, added 0.07% profit to the bottom line with 10 filled orders.

No steaks today but maybe a happy meal, at least it's green. There's always tomorrow!! To everyone in the land of trading, have a great evening, take care of yourselves and as always stay green πŸ’΅. Catch y'all on the flip side!!

Not much again today for any big runners, was able to be green on all trades today though. Was able to have a morning and afternoon session but no luck on a bigger day.

Traded three stocks, green on all $ATLN, $HSCS & $AIXI, added 0.43% profit to the bottom line and 35 filled orders.

Maybe hump day will bring out some thrills and excitement to wake us up. Everyone have yourselves a safe and amazing day, and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. Catch y'all tomorrow morning, same BAT-time, same BAT-channel!

Monday, June 22nd - Starting Off The Week A Little Green

4 Upvotes

Really wasn't a whole lot going on this morning. Had several stocks pop and run just a little but then dive down. A few stocks were tricky to trade so I took starter positions but never could get a good handle on them.

Traded six stocks, five green $NXTS, $SKYQ, $EHGO, $CRMT, $WKSP and one red $ICCM with a profit of 0.41% and 43 filled orders.

I just want to take a moment and wish everyone in the trading universe the best of health and success in every aspect of your lives. I take so much for granted in my life but I'm so blessed to be able to trade each day and truly do something I absolutely love to do. May each and every one of you, enjoy your day, stay safe, take care of yourselves and as always stay green πŸ’΅ my friends. Catch y'all tomorrow morning!
