Three good trades and no big hits



CCJ was nice. Fast and sweet. I don't get trades like this often. I hope this is a start of a trend.

HMN was also nice and smooth.

DF was tough and it tested me when it dipped. I am trading small so I am able to withstand the wiggle. If I was scalping I would have 500+ shares and that would have shaken me out. I don't think I would go back to scalping now. I am beginning to like this style of trading.

I made $600 today.

Nice trade on CCJ!

I also caught that same move, but I got in at $37.50 and $37.60. And it looks like we both got out at the same price at $38.25!

Nice day you had today!

About Me

I have been trading for 5 years. It took close to a year before I became profitable. I find that I am improving gradually each year. My method of choice is scalping. My edge lies in tape reading NYSE stocks and staying on the side of the specialist. That is the method I learned when I started. As I build up my capital I will try new styles and trade new markets. In late 2006 my trading hit a rough patch after the introduction of the NYSE Hybrid system. For most of 2007, I have been on a search for new strategies that would help me adapt to the market.
