"With a little bit of luck..."


What makes a winner? Hard work, homework, persistence, ability to stay in the game after damaging losses, ability to listen to other people and been capable of making own decisions.
Gift? Do we have to be born with a gift of been a good trader?
I think, may be, up to some extent, but most of all - we need to learn ourselves and the market, every single day learn something from the market, about market.

It is difficult market now, a lot of traders ask the same question: "How come everyone is taking profits and I am cutting losses?" Well, I think - a LOT of traders are cutting losses lately, jumping in and out of positions - it is a difficult, unstable market.
At least it was for me - most of April and beginning of May -
my portfolio is only up about 15% from April 1st

We will get there, we will - with a little bit of luck ( I hope you do recall Mr. Dolittle from original "My Fair Lady")

To do something good on a bad day

It is nice when been skeptical pays off
It is not nice to see panic selling, lost money, broken hopes

Few week ago I wrote "another 200 points on a DOW" - and then ... wake up and smell ... no, roses don't smell like that :)

Anyhow, I thought it might be beneficial to visitors of "Trading to Win blog" who are not the Members of fee based group to see my trading homework in action and therefore, first time since this blog started ( one time only ) I make my trading spreadsheet publicly available.
Here is a link, feel free to save it on your PCs and use is a template for watch lists, I hope you will find it useful.

April's Results ( That what they call "Vacation"? )

As you know most of April I was either on vacation or have not been trading much due to data problem with Ameritrade Advanced Analyzer.
Still, using about 20% of margin, results are not that bad for one months.
