Trades and Performance Stats

Here are trades I've recently made. All entries were posted to the site and can be viewed via the trade label. Entries for these trades were made on or after November 9th, and exited this week. I have completed other trades since the 9th, that were posted on the site. I have not included them here, since this post is only to update exits made this week. This weekend I will have performance stats for all trades since November 1.

Total Losses: $7,184
Average Loss: $1,198

Total Profits: $8,231

Thoughts:
My trade rate was not up to my usual standards, at only fifty percent, so I can't say I'm a happy camper. However, I can take some solace in the profits and risk management. I try to keep my losses small and my wins big, and was able to accomplish that goal.

We can also see that my shorts are what kept the win rate down. All of my losses were from shorts (which includes long QID), and I only had one short win (TBSI). I bet you can guess what I will be working on this weekend.

To view my entries, follow the trade label. I am still holding some stocks I've entered over this period, including DCO, FSLR, LEN (short) and OFG.
