thank you again for your great watch lists and now with what you are looking at in the chart. it's a big help to learn from you.
Thanks for the update. It is really helpful when traders explain where they found their stock and why they made the choices they did.

New trader here and thanks for expressing and sharing your exp so far with trading. I love how you're still not quitting on this day trading gig! Love the community so far in this. I'll def check out your videos and your adventure to success!
Hey man. I really appreciate the honesty in this post. I'm also a new trader and it has been pretty tough for me to make gains as well. I also started out as a TimSykes silver subscriber. I watched a few of his videos, and I subscribed to his chat room for 2 months. I found it hard to get good entries into a lot of the stocks posted in the chat room, because, by the time the plays were posted, those stocks were already spiking. So doing your own DD is crucial for success,or you'll end up being a
..bag holder for traders who got in early. I'm not knocking Tim's services, though. He does a great job laying down the foundation for beginners, and he stresses on us to adhere to very important trading principles (cutting losses early, etc). Still, there are many other helpful resources you can use: investorshub, equityfeed.com, investorsunderground, etc.
Don't get discouraged. I was down $6K and took the time to study and paper trade. Find a strategy that worked and then it all clicked. Keep plugging away and it will get better.

That is a good point. I was thinking about exactly that and I came up with a strategy for practicing good habits. I was thinking that I would start taking random positions on the paper account. Then practice loss management and sizing out.
You did way better than me. I,,, still holding and going to sell this am, Lost $1K and couldnt let it go, I get what I deserve not cutting my losses. Holding and praying doesnt work.
Ouch! Sorry to here that.
I'm running with a baby account and got into this one without being able to watch it. I had a 60% loser on 43 shares. I'm happy to be getting these mistakes out of the way on very little money. I was too anxious to trade and didn't trust myself. I knew it didn't feel right and still jumped in.

[TimAlerts] $OREX entry 2.99 exit 3.20
thanks for sharing your trades. It has helped me alot!
As a new trading student, this advice is gold, thanks Jane.
Thanks for being fully transparent. So much "Twitter success" (what I refer to it as) can breed discouragement when you personally feel the sting of losses while not having peers to relate to. Wins help with motivation, but losses help with encouragement in the inevitable hard times. I'm clawing my way towards consistency with small size right now. Can be hard at times. Not that I ever wish losses on anyone, but to pretend they don't happen would be naive. Thank you. I wish you the best moving f
forward
