I am an equities trader. My trading goal is to achieve one to two percent per week I have a sixty one percent success rate. My average return on investment is .50% per $100,000.00. I have no problem going short or long; however since stocks tend to go down faster then they go up most of my trades will be bearish. I am a technical trader. I only trade one to maybe four major chart patterns. These patterns occur on a regular basis. Most trades are only held for one day. Sometimes I will hold the position overnight. The reason for holding the position overnight is because I sometimes take advantage of the gap that happens in after hours trading. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each week I will post at least one trade. I will post the chart and my recommended action via long or short before the next days open. I will also post the results of that trade along with a running total of my gains and losses. I know that posting one trade a week is very hard, but it takes discipline to accept your winnings and live with your losses. It takes a lot work to set up one trade for the week. I start my set up for the week on Friday and finish just before the market opens on Monday most weeks. I have other trades that I put on, and I keep a traders log for everything I do.

I am a equities trader. My trading goal is to achieve one to two percent per week I have a sixty one percent success rate. My average return on investment is .50% per $100,000.00. I have no problem going short or long; however since stocks tend to go down faster then they go up most of my trades will be bearish. I am a technical trader. I only trade one to maybe four major chart patterns. These patterns occur on a regular basis. Most trades are only held for one day. Sometimes I will hold the position overnight. The reason for holding the position overnight is because I sometimes take advantage of the gap that happens in after hours trading.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Each week I will post at least one trade. I will post the chart and my recommended action via long or short before the next days open. I will also post the results of that trade along with a running total of my gains and losses. I know that posting one trade a week is very hard, but it takes discipline to accept your winnings and live with your losses. It takes a lot work to set up one trade for the week. I also do more trades, but I start my set up for the week on Friday and finish just before the market opens on Monday most weeks. I have other trades that I put on, and I keep a traders log for everything I do. Theses are available for those who are serious about working together in this very lucrative business of stock trading. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We feature real time quotes, and videos and streaming financial news.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Starting Balance: $100,000.00&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trade Week: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;07/13/09 Thru 07/17/09&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Current Balance: &lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;$104,115&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trade date: Tuesday 07/14/09&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trade #02 of week #2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Amount traded: $ 47,263.0&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Analyses Steps:&lt;br /&gt;01.

Price broke through the upper trend line, with a 24% gain. Price moved up during the after hours trading. Then the price went to $15.42 in after hours trading. Price is well below all three MA’s. After two days of bull gain, Volume is decreasing, and momentum is high I believe that there will be some profit taking. This is a counter trend, so get out with reasonable profit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Successful trade: Y&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bullish trade:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bearish trade: Y&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Loss: $&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Profit: &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;$ 3,463.00&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gain: &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7.9%&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shares Traded: 3020&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;REASON FOR EXIT: Price was close enough to support line.

Three days ago it broke below the support line with an all day bear candle. The next day was a bull candle which broke the new resistance line, but the bears pushed it back down below it. The last day was a small bull day all day which hit the now resistance line and stopped. Upper trend line has been moving down and is converging with the resistance line. The price is below the 10, 30, and 50 moving average lines (not shown). Volume is average and momentum seems to peaking. The price at closed was $4.10. I believe the play is bearish. I will wait until the market is open and watch for trend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Successful trade: N&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bullish trade:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bearish trade: Y&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Loss: &lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;$ -266.00&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Profit:&lt;/strong&gt; $&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;REASON FOR EXIT: Even though I did not hit the stop loss percentage, I did not feel that it is worth holding the position overnight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6g76qcCWdZQ/SlFcqfksocI/AAAAAAAAAAc/D401DBHPBmY/s1600-h/Blog+chart+1.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 226px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355163317019910594" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6g76qcCWdZQ/SlFcqfksocI/AAAAAAAAAAc/D401DBHPBmY/s320/Blog+chart+1.bmp" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4676663437854383858-1999761521973781391?l=bcm-stockwise.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bcm-stockwise.blogspot.com/feeds/1999761521973781391/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bcm-stockwise.blogspot.com/2009/07/stock-wise.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4676663437854383858/posts/default/1999761521973781391'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4676663437854383858/posts/default/1999761521973781391'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bcm-stockwise.blogspot.com/2009/07/stock-wise.html' title='Welcome to Stock Wise'/><author><name>Britestar Enterprises</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6g76qcCWdZQ/SlNXIJ3UcaI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ZlcRj5-Cs8s/s72-c/Blog+chart+2.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
