Well since Tim decided to share his losses I decided to share mine. I lost $252 (which is like $330 Canadian for me) on $FORD. In at 3.60 out 2.20 ish. You might say that $252 is not that much money. But that's a quarter of my account. So I've learned not not to be a dumb shit and think before I trade. Use risk vs. reward. Cut loses quickly. I broke every rule on that trade. Now I try to wait to watch what the stock is doing before I get in. Cause hey, better safe than sorry. I made $50 on $YOD on Monday. In @2.22 out at 2.47. So don't trade with your heart, because your heart is stupid. Trade with your brain. I think if you try to analyze everything on a stock before you buy it you could beat the odds and not be like the rest of the crappy traders out there.
I feel ya brotha! I was looking back and I've had a few losses but at least I am going where the money is. In my opinion spotting the good trades is the first part. Keep on rolling!
