Yesterday (
6-3-08) I didn’t have any trades. I’ve been noticing that I’ve been on a flat/loosing streak from Thursday (
5-29-08) till yesterday (
6-3-08). After a
very long discussion with my dad we found a few flaws in my trading. So, today I decided to paper trade to make sure I had everything fixed.
I wish I traded for real, because I would have made
1.42%, or
$416.93 today (
6-4-08)! Total trades were 7, of which 2 were losses, 5 gains with 2 longs and 5 shorts. Trades are as follows:
AMR – Long (+.97%) (+$273.36): Was looking for $7.73, and as you can see I would have got it had I held on

TSO – Short (+.40%) (+$114.16):

CNX – Long (-.48%) (-$132.40): Was looking for a quick hitter, but stock looked like it was done going up

TIBX – Short (-.63%) (-$175.16): I should not have traded this one. I had nothing to back up my prediction.

MAR – Short (+.39%) (+$111.25):

SUN – Short (+.36%) (+$103):

MAR – Short (+.41%) (+$122.72):
