Win Some, Lose Some

Since the market was closed today for Good Friday, here's an update. I'll simply screenshot my trading history instead of typing it out.

Here it is for the past 10 days:

Hopefully that's legible enough for you to read.
As you can see, there's quite a bit of trading going on. Just how much?

First a look at the total account market gain since I started trading again:

Then a look at the total account gain with commissions and fees included:

As the difference shows, commissions ate up a whopping $166.78. The brokerage company has made almost 3 times what I have!

This kind of a thing is only a problem with a small account size. Remember we only started with $200.

And here's the current account value:

By the way, if you're astute you'll notice that an account that started with $200 and has a net gain of $61.22 doesn't add up to a value of $263.21. That's because I actually had $1.99 sitting in the account from my older days of attempting to trade options before depositing $200.

Hopefully successes continue to outnumber the failed trades and the account can move into the $300 range.
