Risk % Rwd/Risk Ratio Entry date: time Exit date: time2 Exit price P/L $Comisión $Net P/L %P/L Cap R multiple $ at work # W/L Sum W Strategy Reason for success / fail Comment and an Analysis section: Total net P/L Gross P/L Avg % loss on losers Avg % profit on winners Number of winners Number of losers Number of trades Hours spent P/L per hour Total net profits Total net losses Total % gains Total % losses Risk/reward ratio Expectancy The onenote file has these sections: 1. Overview of the end of trading day: Account, Trades and P&L (screenshots from DAS Trader) 2. Premarket routine: wake up time, brief notes on excercise and breakfast, start time in DAS, stock research, watchlist 3. Trades: detailed notes on my trades: strategy based / impulse based / chatroom call, why did I trade the stock, did I recognized pattern /strategy, reasons to fail / success and DAS screenshots 4.

I´m about to start simulator and rigth now I´m finishing my trading plan. We know that low floats are riskier and NYSE stocks are more difficult to manage. In your own experience, it´s a good idea to avoid these stocks in initial phase of simulator training and trade only NASDAQ and mid floats?

I´m about to start simulator. I wonder if its a good idea to start without L2 in order to get used to the platform, work in pattern recognition etc. In your own experience, L2 was useful right at the begining of your simulator training?

I’m not there yet but I´d withdraw some profits in a monthly basis, allowing for account growing. You can find in John Carter´s book “Mastering the Trade” the “Plateau Method” of managing day trading accounts. This method works like this: For a $10,000 hypothetical starting account, your initial goal is to run the account up to 2.5 times your starting capital, which is $25,000. When you reach your desired target of $25,000 you withdraw your original $10,000, plus a profit of $2,500, leaving you with a balance of $12,500 in your trading account. Next you tweak your goal, instead of $25,000, your aim is to run your account up to 2.5 times your new starting capital, which equals $31,250. Once you reach your target of $31,250, withdraw half of the account ($15,625) and reset your goal. And so on, when you reach your target, take out half, and continue.

Great, I´ll try this with a USB Wired Numeric Keypad...

Nice, thx Paul!

This is the Traders Business Planfrom the book "Mastering The Trade" by John Carter...

Nice, I didn´t know TradeBench. Seems a good free tool (I mean, liking them on twitter & FB and getting their email seems fair)... thx!

Thx Ryan, my laptop has only 1 HDMI and 1 VGA outputs...

Anybody using this adapter? It is good? Can be used more than 1 adapter? Plugable USB to VGA Video Graphics Adapter for Multiple Displays up to 1920x1080 (Supports Windows 10, 8.1,7, XP)

Brendon posted this in the chatroom this morning, really cheap monitor Acer KN242HYL 23.8" IPS LCD/LED Widescreen Monitor 1920x1080, 4ms (GTG) 60Hz Refresh Rate, 16:9 Aspect Ratio, D-sub/DVI/HDMI, Tilt Capable with Built in Speakers

Thx Robert, I guess that extra / macro keys can be used with DAS, like this one G.SKILL RIPJAWS KM780 MX Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX Blue with Gaming Keycaps

Once completed with levels and such, save that chart as default, then go to each additional chart you have , right click, select "load settings". Watch this video

Very useful info, thx ryajw123!

Thx... Win 10 update just arrived...

Hi Francois ... just finished John F. Carter book, I skiped some chapters because they where not stocks related (mostly options, futures and forex) and with proprietary indicators make difficult to me to put them into practice. The most useful parts to me were on psychology and business plan. I´ll take a look again. Now I´m reading "Come into my trading room" by Alex Elder.

Thank you Robert, great info!
