===========================
There has no would ha should ha could ha trades this week. I did miss a target in a fast market by one tick only to have my trailing stop get hit and my profit being less than 1/2 of the target. The last two weeks should have been good for me. This week just sucked. My results have sucked for about 5 weeks now. I need to do good when the market treats me good and I need to behave when it doesn't.

I am looking forward to getting this year over with.

=====================================
This was one of the would could should weeks that make me scream. I was in a trade with MCD and I scratched it for break even because the way it was trading was new to me. It then ran over a buck seconds later. I had an buy stop in GMCR for like 20 minutes and then pull it. Three minute later is run like crazy. I placed an order trying to hit the ask and the stock ran never filling my order. And last I had a winning in crude and I debated to place a stop at one price or 3 ticks lower. A course i got hit but the other stop would not have. All in all that cost me a lot of money.
-
On the other hands, I just missed getting filled by one cent on a buy stop where the stock died 50 cents soon after.
-
You win some and lose some but i would have preferred all of the above trades getting filled or placed correctly. I would have had a happy week.

I did two incredible bonehead moves this week costing about $400. One a trade trigger for me just as my computer froze. Once I got it back on - I rushed in to the position even thou it had already moved. Second - I went long a stock and put in a stop but my stop had twice as many shares as my long so I got stopped and then lost on the short. Funny thing is the stock collapsed some after I covered my mistake and I got have made good money on the short.
