Trading Journal Day 26 - Limited Trading Day
Limited Trading Day
Opening session was good this morning. Realistically my trades executed themselves... stops are nice that way. It's nice to see some profits hitting, even if it means those positions aren't going to run any further.
Only a couple shorts remain in my old broker account. Once I get the funds in my other accounts I will likely pick up the pace again.

Nice profits here. Shame the positions weren't larger, but that happens sometimes when position sizing is dictated by risk management.

Open Trades
While everything else about an open trade is established at entry, the ‘stop loss’ order will be adjusted periodically over the life of a trade. The idea is to move the stops at key price points and let the profitable trades keep running.
Such a slow day, I didn't even move any stops.

Net gain is increasing. Good for you. Good luck with your new broker.
Thank you! So I've been running my robinhood code in this for 25 days and nobody else has ever used it...
I feel like too many people here are not from the US so they can’t even sign up if they wanted to.
