daytrade diaries... july 2 part 2, page-62

sometimes I feel that day trading is not that hard, but has to have strong discipline. The problem with me is, I don't book small profits. I said yesterday if NEU breaks the intraday support at 58, she would be all over, this morning I said VPG hit 86 three times, and the third time failed to re bound and she would be all over. And as it turns out, I was right. Seems like I know where the stock moments are, but greedy me, always try and ride a stock for too long. Even said short BHP, RIO in the morning and could milk a half to 1%. I did short them, but wanted to milk the 1% and now broke even, had 0.5% profit in my hand, but let it go again.


It seems easy but to act on the "taking profit bit" I am having difficulty with, I admire you Ipod and PJ, little profits at a time and then = big profit, so much to learn.
