Toronto Stock Trader: April 2016

Welcome!

This blog is a personal experiment. I've deposited $1000USD into a margin trading account which became active for trading on Monday April 18, 2016. The objective of this blog is to document the experience of trading the absolute minimum funding requirement and see how big I can make this account. No additional funds will ever be added to this account, it is going to be fully self sustainable. This account is purely a day trading account, no overnight holds or swing trading will be conducted in this account. The funds are real, the trades are real, and I will document my wins along with my losses. I have chosen to keep my identity anonymous, if you know who I am please refrain from revealing this information or you will be banned.

$0.00USD profit today

I will be taking the day off from trading today, to catch up on some reading about trading/finance, etc. The secret to success in this business is to constantly study. The more you educate yourself, the better you will be at your craft. Education always pays dividends. Have a great weekend!

$16.81USD profit today

This is a breakdown of my trades today.

Leverage can be an asset when used properly. I only used it when I was absolutely certain that the probability of gain was greater than the probability of loss. It was a good day of trading, all gains. Those days don't always happen, when you do encounter a loss, cut it quick. Don't be afraid to take a small loss. Headed to the gym now. It's important to exercise daily.
