Oct 29 & 30

Oct 29 - I actually did not trade on the 29th, not because I couldn't but two reasons

1) I was not comfortable in anything that I could get into, given the short period of time that I have to trade

2) Wanted to see if I could sit and actually restrain myself from making a trade.

It felt good, coz I was able to do it

Oct 30 - Did two trades SYMC at $13.35 for a quick 7 min scalp of $235 but left about 1k on the table but I seem to be able to accept that hmmm, oh well. Finally another quick scalp on AMP for $70 in 5 mins. I was content at least I was in the green. There was an excellent opportunity on HIG that I missed out on coz tda did not have borrows, missed about 1k on that. Tks nocents for letting me know about the borrows being available in ib, can't wait to get that account opened.

However I still have to make money going long. I am not comfortable at all taking long positions and I want to change that but don't know how. I get very nervous when I am even looking at taking a long position. Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to change that.

Tomorrow will be two weeks since I have gotten back into the trading. I want to do an assessment on how I have done as at the end of October. As I have stated in my profile, my objective is 1-2% per month and I am content, after all I only very limited time to trade.
Lets see what Halloween has in store for us traders.........
