Quotes from the book "Memoirs of a Stock Market Speculator"

The tape needs to be responded to today, not tomorrow. Reasons can wait. And you must act immediately or stay away. But me, Unfortunately, brains were not always enough, to stick to your own rules of the game, that is, place bets only with complete confidence, that the market is ripe for me. But there are also Wall Street fools, who believe, that you should always trade. There is no man in the world, who would have the necessary information every day, to buy or sell stocks or to play your game reasonably and intelligently. The experience of defeat taught me that, what is worth attacking, only if you are sure, that you don't have to retreat. But I knew, how and why: I played all the time, regardless of the situation; because, when i couldn't play on my system, based on experience and calculation, I started to put blindly, naudaču. Instead of being sure to win, I fed on gambling hopes. The experience of incomplete victories is no less instructive, than the experience of defeat.

The market is rather dead, what is alive

There were no BULLS and BEARS on the market today, apparently rested from the previous days. On such a day, it is better to close the terminal and take a day off. :) There was nothing to do ON OPG. Intraday: Almost did not trade, I made a couple of deals in the red and understood, that it's no use trying to squeeze out a penny. MOC: Bought RITZ and finance, even a little, but they closed very badly. So I gave away yesterday. Results: There were no mistakes as such, just the market is dead. Nothing tomorrow will be a new day, new opportunities. Trade date : 26 Martha 2009

The return of the cubs

Bulls dominated the first half of trading today, but bears, returning from lunch filled it up =) OPG: Sent the market to buy BK because. it fell sharply yesterday and the market was trading in positive territory. After opening, it flew up, expected to do 90C, but got tight and left earlier, and he achieved my goal =( Intraday: BWA: BorgWarner Inc. Sector: Consumer Cyclical >> Industry: Auto and Truck Parts I bought it for breaking through today's high and left, a bit early without sitting until the end of the movement.   MHP: The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Sector: Services >> Industry: Printing and Publishing Bought when the stock went further after the doji, but it was knocked out due to a squeeze, sealing where I put the stop = / I bought it for the second time to break through the high of the day, but the action did not pass the figure.

Expensive study

Because of my university, I missed trading today and a good profit. OPG: It was possible to sell RITZ and cut money on a quick, they gave well. Intraday: Perhaps the only positive thing about the pass is that it was better not to trade this afternoon, the market is dead. MOS: On the flat market, he promised not to make them anymore, just sat and watched. You could sell finances, they fell well. There was an idea to buy them at the very end, but imbalances from buy turned into sell. Results: If not for study, then OPG made money, but it's not destiny. Tomorrow I will conquer the market with renewed vigor ;) Trade date : 24 Martha 2009

The scribe crept up unnoticed

Unfortunately, all my records with trades and descriptions were deleted for technical reasons and cannot be restored. The very first ones remained and then not many. We'll have to start from scratch and do everything smart, this will not happen again. Update: Half of the deleted was restored.

My task for the day

The main task that I set myself now is to do 50C in 3 trades and the risk ratio 1 to 4 minimum. This gives me good trading results., even on rotten days, you can find promotions that will pass 50C . And that 1.5$ profit every day. P.S. Stability – sign of skill

Option exercise day

OPG: Selling DJ shares by limit holders with a gap +0.60%. Dali from 17 Total 2 pieces. JNJ and MRK, but all the DJs were flying up so I closed them to zero. OPG did not live up to my hopes. CLR: Sold almost from the very opening, the action has passed more than 40C of one candle and a rollback was possible, covered half. Originally wanted to do 90C, the limit maker stood at the exit 23.10. But later I decided that it was more beautiful to take a point.. Low turned out 23.07 and flew up. Had to above cover everything.

Breaking trading rules

Today I decided not to trade because. the market promised to be dead. OPG: Ritsy did not sell because the market was trading in positive territory. Just watched them, surprisingly they went down from the opening. I did everything in the afternoon 1 deal. Sold GIS about 46.50, but below the stock almost did not go through and turned around. Flat closed and waited for MOS. The market was dead and there was nothing to catch. MOS: The futures were flat, imbelances came out weak. I have a rule not to trade weak MOS, but 2 days of the previous day they were size and why wouldn't they be good today. I loaded myself into finance a lot and sold while it fell until the close, this time the orders were finally triggered and I covered positions at the closing price. But they closed very badly, that I lost as much as I earned for 2 previous days. It's been a long time since I lost so much. Results: You can't break your trading rules, it is very expensive. Считай 3 of the day I traded in flat. It's unpleasant of course, but I will not repeat this mistake again. “Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.” Trade date : 19 Martha 2009

Foms day

I did not foresee the main movements for today, before announcement to change or not % rate, as expected, it was left unchanged and the market skyrocketed =) My yesterday's overnight was never covered by the arch, tried to get out, but did not take. Futures traded in the red before the opening and it was necessary to quickly get out of the stock. Sent a sell order to OPG and some more on top. SLG opened at 50C below my purchase, well since I have left with mos a lot, then I got a good minus =( OPG: I decided to sell Ritsa because yesterday they closed in high, and today futures were trading in the red, there was a high probability that they will go lower. I sold a small basket from 8 shares and almost recaptured losses on SLG. NIGHT: Sold on the move, but did not go lower. KFT: Selling after breaking through, almost nothing went. It was to be expected, the action had no potential. Stupid trade. GR: Selling catching up with a share, overlooked the beginning of the movement, count sold to the bottom. Later bought a little higher 36 and closed about 36.45. AIG: Again he climbed into her very ears when she flew away. Several days already buying. I'm still waiting for it to be chilled and opened a dollar higher. Did 20% стоимости акции МОС: После фомса …

Dear emotions ...

Today promised to be rotten, tomorrow the MHIF, which means you should not expect good movements. MT: Selling on the break of today's low, on the daily chart, he had a place to fall and the beginning of the trend loomed. Everything would be fine, but here 16.50 the action did not pass, at this moment a large green candle appeared on the futures and I did a stupid thing not to cover myself because most of the stock is about 10:00 across the US either turn around or move on, I chose the optimistic option, but he didn't pass. HUM: Sold on breaking yesterday's low, this time I decided to take my 50C, came out on a pre-set limit order , although stupid because it could go lower. HCP: I bought it on the break of today's high, but in vain. It was not necessary to enter after such candles up, the likelihood of a rollback was enormous. It was necessary to wait a little while to gain a foothold at this level.. HES: Sold it by 60.98 with risk in 4 cent, hoped for a rollback in 50C , but the market flew further and my share went with it. Ordinary I don't do this kind of thing, but the risk was minimal. OXY: Promotion of the day, lost on it ¾ earned in a day, in the beginning I bought it about 55 and I got knocked out, and then sold in the same place. Это самый дебильный трейд который у меня был за долгое …
