Month of April recap

Not where I want to be but better than losing plus I think I learned a lot.

There is so much difference between trading for a living verus trading for extra income it's not even funny. It's literally two different games and what I've learned more than anything else is that you can trade on the side forever but in no way, shape or form will that prepare you for "real" trading.

Hopefully I'm moving in the right direction though. Last week was a big test and even though it hurt like hell I think I'm better for it. So far this week I've been quite pleased with my trading. Probably the best week I've had yet in so far as making good solid decisions day in and day out.

  1. I'm curious: how much are you working with, what's your principle?

  2. My account has about 100K but I could easily do what I've been doing on 50K as I never come anywhere close to tapping my buying power. In fact, other than trading SPY once in a while I could probably do this on 25K. Pathetic! I need to grow same balls.
