I always wonder how to sum of the yearly results. I like to look at them many ways. If you do not include fees (other than commissions) from the brokers I used and factor in the outstanding swings I have - I made $847.24 - this includes dividends but I feel this year sucked for me.
-------------------------------
Winning months (including commissions): 3
Losing months: 9.
--------------------------------
One big swing made: $3606.00
--------------------------------
total dividends: $1427.00
--------------------------------
My day trading nets: - 4185.76 (second worst year for me).
------------------------------
Total commissions: 2685.93
--------------------------------
I am sitting on two swings and there value did not change much comparing this year to last but the one I am holding at a 8,000 loss. The other is at a 3,000 gain.
---------------------------------
I am just glad this year is over.

=====================================================
Did not trade much this month. Trying to work on a new idea. I am using way too many indciators and crap on my charts. Trying to just look at lot less.
-
One trade this month sticks in my side. The employment numbers caused big moves on the 6th. I had 3 setups firing off at the same time- crude, euro and S&P. I did not know which one to pick. I have picked them all. I have the account size to do it. Instead I only picked the EURO. The S&P moved $800 and crude moved $1400 in the right direction. The Euro on its first attempt did not make it and stopped me for a $200 loss but on the second attempt it moved over $500. I did not have the guts to take the second trade.
-
Botton line is I should have taken all four trades and made over $2500 for the day. Instead I chickened out and sat with a $200 loss - the story of of this years trading for me.
