trading results you posted: >>Since the start of this account, I have had 32 stocks, one lost money, and one is breaking even. However, this has been a good month. I generally have about 15% that lose money or I exit flat. Last year I made traded 149 stocks. This year I will trade about 200. Scott, in looking over your trade data do you find any patterns or issues that might cause you to modify your trades? a few questions of the profitable trades how many went negative before turning back to the black? what was the average % negative from the entry price? what was the maximum? what was the average hold time in days? are there any $ ranges that tend to give better % returns; say $1-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-50, 50+? any difference between NYSE and NASDAQ results? do you buy equal # of shares or $ amounts on each stock traded? anything else of interest? Please only answer if these can be responded to with little effort and thanks for all your work here
