Day Trading Reflection


My day trading has gone pretty well. I use the same stock trading strategy that I use for my over night stock picks (Wake Up and Make Money). The hardest thing about day trading is not panicking and having patience to wait for the trade to unfold. Sometime I would have to wait an hour for my trade to profit.

Maximum Profit Stock Trading Test


Monday will be my last day of the Wake Up and Make Money Test. For the last couple days I have traded 14 stocks and 11 of the stocks came out to my prediction. My next test is to try to get maximum profit from stocks. This mean I will be holding on to stocks for a longer period of time. Unlike my Wake Up and Make Money test where I sold the sold in the morn if the stock had profited or held on to the stock that did not profit until it profit that day. I will call my next test the Maximum Profit Stock Trading Test.

Learning Stock Trading Patience
Knowing when to be patience and not making a decision with emotion is very important in stock trading. Yesterday, the stocks ABMD and CHDX were in a worse position. By being patience the stocks bounced to a more reasonable loss. Instead of making a decision by emotion use technical analysis (chart patterns and indicators) to make the decision.

I want to improve my stock trading


I want to improve my stock trading. I have counted all my stock trades on my stock trading journal and I am about 50 percent of my picks are successful. It sound like I broke even but my stock pick losses have been way worst than my wins. I have been trading off and on for the past 3 years but for the last four month I have gotten serious about short term stock trading and I have been trying to perfect my short term stock trading strategy. I am hoping by making this journal it will help me improve my stock trading.

Here are my Results: Wake Up and Make Money Strategy

Wake Up and Make Money Reflection: 6/11/12


I did not do so well in trading today. I did not wake up in time to capitalize on my stocks. Every stock I picked over the weekend open higher than the previous day, but there is a very short window (5 to 20 minutes) to capitalize on the gain. I also day traded after my losses. I found out that this strategy is very good for day trading. I did pretty well.

  • ·         MACD have to match Stochastics
  • ·         Trade in trend
  •       Wake Up Before Stock Market Up (New Criteria)

Wake Up and Make Money Stock Picks For: 6/11/12 (UPdate) What I learned!!!

My timing is still off. This trading strategy is really what I call Wake Up and Make Money. All the stock I pick opened a higher than the previous day. Within 5 to 10 minutes the stocks when to its high and back down. I woke up at 7:35, thinking that the stocks would still be up. Now I know to wake when the stock market opens and sell within the first 20 minutes of the opening of the stock market.
