Day 2 - Trade log & musings


Day 2 musings

So, Pnl is down another £237.52. That means in total I am now down £2499.12 which is almost 12% down of money at risk !!
You think this would stress me out but I am an eternal optimist and I think my trades will bounce back. Well, I certainly hope so;otherwise my £30k could disappear very fast at this rate.
One stock was sold, triggered by my stop loss. Was watching this stock as it was the one that took a huge hit on Friday too, and maybe I should have sold earlier but this is exactly the thing with trading -when do you take your losses !?
Some musings though. I monitored the volatility of the running total throughout the day (every 10 – 15 minutes) and the results are very interesting – well to me anyway.
The stats:
Min profit - £909.78
Max profit - £694.24
Average - £173.86
That works out to a quite staggering £1604.02 swing from highest to lowest during the day!
That’s 7.5% swing of my money at risk!
Maybe I should swing trade rather...

Anyway fine readers, hope you all have a super Monday night. Until tomorrow...
