Trades for 2-18-09

Had a nice discussion about my trading with my dad today. In our talk I came up with a few things I need to start doing. The 1st was I should stop gap trading stocks in the morning and just gap trade the indexes (if they gap or have a big red/green bar on the open), 2nd I need to continue doing my morning trade, 3rd is to adjust my during the day discretionary trading, and the 4th being I will also discretionary trade during the last hour of the day. I will also continue doing my moving average and 10k trades like normal.

My trade this morning officially SUCKED! My original stop was $86.84 (-.89%) but the price moved to quick for me to get out there, so I had to take the price I got :(. Same thing applied to my MA trade, had my stop and couldn’t get it so I took what I could.

The total figure for “Discretionary trading” does not include my paper-trades.
