transmissionsm Posted June 10, 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Just a personal thread here of my trading journey. This is NOT a thread to sell any service considering i'm losing money. Story: Started trading in 2021 Sept. Love the easy money, making hundreds to 1k in a day. I have made 5k in a day and also lost 20k in a day . Heck i'm not even rich. Decided to go into short selling (Shares). It easy because i don't have to predict when a stock will go up. I just need to know when there is a high chance it will go down. Short selling = Stock go down I made $, stock go up I lose money. Was pretty successful with high win rate but having no discipline cause me to blow up my account. Meaning I added to loser hoping and praying to make back some money but no I just got squeezed more. Anyway I have now decided to start a small 1.5k usd account and try to make a "comeback" if you will. This thread will be documenting my daily trade both winners and losers. What's the purpose of all this? How does it benefit anyone? I'm just a bored and thought of this silly idea. Nobody has to read it, just a personal journal. Starting Equity $1456.29 All figures are in USD and I only trade the US stock market. Edited June 12, 2023 by transmissionsm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboard Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Good luck and have fun. Sure you heard it enough, dont over leverage, stop loss and only play what you can afford to loose. Undisciplined trading (nicer term) is eventually gambling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transmissionsm Posted June 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) 12th June Traded AHI . It ran 800% last week so took the short today. A whole lot of work for not much gain. +64 usd after after locate fees. I wish tradezero can show realized gains after short locate fees. Below realized gains are usually accurate unless I held an overnight short then it's gonna be messed up. Moving forward, i'll probably only share this info at the end of every month. Chart is pretty messy because I got stopped out a few times . Shoulda coulda held my short from 3.2 but things are not perfect. I know there are good traders that can top tick a chart and cover at the lows. I'm not those. Will take my small win today. I had better days.

transmissionsm Posted June 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2023 13th june FWBI short pre-market: Didn't work out so took a loss. Reshorted it on market open , took partial profit. Saw some weakness + offering is in progress so decided to add to position again. Set some limit buys and both were filled. Nett around 90 usd. Decent day.

transmissionsm Posted June 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 +95.3 usd today. Still holding an open short that is currently in the negative as shown below. (I'll cut loss quickly , just want to see where it ends up by 8am) For those not sure of shorting, it's clear as day from the chart. Notice I lose money if the stock runs higher. I make money if it drops. My other trades are mess up due to overnight shorts so there is nothing much to show. Quick few seconds scalp on BWV.

For AHI, your first trade @9.30pm, last trade @1am and close position @6am. Yes enough. Mainly online till 1am weekdays and yes I wake up 5+ or 6+ Sometimes I just leave limit order so either stop loss or take profit when the price hits while I'm asleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transmissionsm Posted June 15, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) Trades today NKLA + 15 usd Pretty lame trade. Was waiting for it to hit $2 but it just dump before that and I didn't have conviction to chase it down. Could have been a 100+ usd trade.Not really in the feel for trading today due to work , only reach home after market open so...yeah life of a shitty bank job. To the topic of TA/FA . I seldom use it. I mainly look at their cash on hand, whether is it a dilution pump or not. Using https://dilutiontracker.com/ for this info. Chart wise A+ setup to me is when there is a high vol candle within the last few months. I can only find this ticker FWBI for now. Look at it, on 13th June it hit $3 on 75m vol. There is a very high chance that it will NOT reach anywhere near $3 in the near future without a major catalyst. So if next couple of weeks it goes to $2.5 or something, i'll short it. This ticker is also doing an offering now with no price. There is no way to know when they will announce the offering price but I hope to time it in the coming days and swing a short on it. Most of the time a stock can still go a lot and I will short it even if have lots of cash for the next year because I don't care if they have cash. If they run 200% on the day , i'm definitely taking a short because the chance of it going lower is higher than the chance of it going up. Having said that I lost A LOT of money shorting due to lack of discipline. Hoping to change it this time but ..let's see. Wish a group were to fuck me in my ass anytime I did not cut lost.

transmissionsm Posted June 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 17th June RIDE short... +50 usd for today. Another whole lot of work for nothing much. If I had held my short, I could have made 300-400 usd but I did not have conviction and just did small scalps . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transmissionsm Posted June 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) 20th June Traded VCIG and LUCY Overall - $4.4 usd on the day. LUCY = All day fader. Unfortunate did not go with size and did not capture the entire move down. I traded badly on VCIG. This stock ran almost to 300%. Due to previous experience I started small size on this trade at around 5 dollars with 100 shares. It went up and up as you can see from chart and this is what rubbing your face on the concrete floor feels like. I was down almost -800 at 1 point on a 1600 account (GEEZ) I should have cut loss around 5.50 mark but instead I added 50 shares at 7.50ish and 8.50 ish. Luckily this trade worked or I could have easily loss 1k...horrible trading i thought i've changed but I still slipped on the trade that matters. Likewise viewing this trade in another way...If I can cut loss and not touch it till when the price was 10-11 I could have made 300-400 on 100 shares. What other job can pay 300-400 usd per day. This is why I strongly believe trading to be something that can be done full time with patience and discipline which unfortunately I still do not have both of those qualities. I will continue to work on my patience and discipline. Edited June 20, 2023 by transmissionsm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transmissionsm Posted July 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) -241 today. Silly mistake. I did not realize that I held a short position overnight. Had totally no recollections of this short position. Logged in around 10.30pm and saw my position in red and immediately cover. (As you can see from the 2 green candles) I haven't been in top shape recently. Edited July 10, 2023 by transmissionsm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
