I continued with the live trading, but, I stayed conservative and limited my trading to not get overextended. Made a minor profit. I also closed some old bag holds for losses.

I got back to live trading today. Stayed focused. Took only one trade at a time. Results are 1 of 2 for a net profit.

I focused on paper trading today, but, it didn't turn out well. 2 losses and 2 that are underwater and holding overnight. I'll try again tomorrow.

I tried really hard to watch and learn today. I was all prepared to track my trades on paper, but, gave in an took one real trade. It failed. I did get some closure on previously open trades. I then pulled all of my funds to another account, so, I cannot go in with leveraged positions any longer. I will continue to be conservative and study long strategies some more.

Today, everything turned against me causing me to question my ability to trade stocks. I guess, I need to humble myself and start my training over again. Maybe, now that I understand more, going back to the basics will show me what I'm doing wrong.

I have been traveling a lot the past few weeks. My trading has been minimal as I continue to test my strategies and look for ways to improve. I do need to devote more time to study. There is still a lot to learn. I shall try to get my trading activity brought up to date.

Another good day today. Of the positions I opened today, 4 of 5 closed with profit. I was also able to close some existing positions and there are no new positions getting carried over.

Today was a better day. I traded only one ticker and followed my plan with it. Also, a couple of open positions closed for nice profits.

Today, I mostly watched my existing positions. I had built a watchlist with only long positions and all of them were trending down. I did open one more short position to replace the one I closed, yesterday. I also closed one today for a small profit.

Ditto - same as yesterday. I did try some long positions, but, they mostly failed. I feel lost. I feel like I don't know what to do - my strategy?, learn a new strategy? Or am I wasting my time altogether? I think I will hang back and study some more. I am trying to push myself and I need to wait until my confidence returns.
