Great trading at .82 per trade. I verified with my Amp statement. .78/trade. Negligible difference. Luv the profits you got.

Thanks! I'm slowly getting better but I still have days where when I'm done I ask myself
"You idiot! Where was your head at today?" lol and so I still keep my day job. I have even
wrote with different colored ink on the paper in front of me with it underlined.
The Trend is your Friend

But I have made the step of going from a full time job to a part time job.

If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. Allow your passion to become your purpose.

I used to have a large white rubber eraser with a red arrow drawn on one side and a green arrow drawn on the other, and I'd flip it around when appropriate. I think I ignored it more times than I went with the trend. But I should find another one.

Going to part time work so you can trade is a serious "Rubicon River crossing" for sure. I hope you can go back full time if necessary, but with the trades you made the other day you will be fine going forward if you can be consistent.

I'm hoping at the end of the year to go full time again trading. I promised my wife even if I was profitable again
I would keep my job for six months to prove to her it wasn't a run of just good luck.

Great. By the way, I think you should invert your avatar graphic so it shows you breaking UP instead of down. The power of positive thinking is real.... Or perhaps you are a "perma-bear" at which point this is the most beautiful chart imaginable.

lol I would say I enjoy the bear side.

The USA Independence Day holiday really slowed things down. Had some small losses. Let's see where the market wants to go to next.

I will post more trades for sure, like I did last week. I am always willing to try to see through another's eyes. Thanks for the offer!

While last week was very thinly traded, and today was a tight range, I am confident that my 1% growth per day will resume and explode to 2% or even 3% on some days.

Yesterday I got 1%, but my average is just .3% per day so far. The Independence Day holiday was a factor, but the next few days should be great.

What are you using to track this? Excel? Or a program? Looks good!
