Day 4: Paper Trading Vs Actual Money Master Special

Journal 📔 : Continued with style of Minimum Trading volume for Day 3 &4. Was Green at the start, Rolled around 300% of base. Approached Red due to $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ downward movement.

Held on to stocks and bought more with the intention towards a breakout next week.

Day 4: Paper Trading Vs Actual Money Master Special

Comparing to Day 1 & 2. High volume trading seems to work better for me, just lots of control and fingers mashing required.

On the other hand, buying and HODL stocks is less stressful. Looking at long term vs short term TA does provide good entry points. Likely my choice for more stable large Cap stocks could have better served if I went for the ones mentioned in the news.

Went with Large caps due to my actual trading preference. Noting that small-caps stocks are more volatile and have less liquidity. Large-Cap offers a steady and consistent return, less volatility.

Actually for paper trading, I feel I’ve been too safe. Maybe I should stick to day 1 & 2 High volume trading on small caps instead? Won’t advise that for my actual trades as I belong to the balance risk profile actually.

Actual:

Today’s Trades are down due to my bulk positions on $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$. Not worried due to the potential growth of the new blackwell chips touted for launch EOY.

If only my Actual trades on $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ $Apple (AAPL.US)$ $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ & $Alphabet-C (GOOG.US)$ were used as the competition. 7.8% for Sept is actually quite decent growth to me.
