Wondering how many of you are actually trading with a trading plan!
I started swing trading 5 months ago after getting bored with the slow pace & small returns from only investing in stocks!
Eg: I only make swing trades with a 10-20% target & am in and out in 3 to 15 days with a goal to grow my account by 20% per month comounded to 890% per year.
Results: I've tripled my account in 5 mths!
ANY COMMENTS OR SIMILAR PLANS?

Best plan is to stick to the plan. Journal says it all....shy from my plan, lose. Stay disciplined on the plan and gain. So simple, but as with anything, good habits are harder to form than bad ones. Great job and happy trading!!

Ok here is a sample...some are on the TSX!
UUU.VN-bought @ $2.55 sold @ $3.10, in 5 days =20% return
NVD bought @ 1.22 and sold @ $1.40 in under 5 days=10% return
ECU.VN-bought @ $2.45 sold @ $3.01 in 5 days=20% return
DAR bought @ $4.07 sold @ $4.40 in 3 days=10% return
Currently bought PRM @ $1.51 & holding for $180-$190 target!
However, I believe you missed the point! Everything I've read states that it's all about having & sticking to a plan and NOT simply picking stocks to trade.
My plan is 20% return per month swing trading which compounds to 890%.
I divide my account into 5 different trades depending how long I feel each trade will take to execute a 10-20% return I descide what percentage to put on each trade. I prefer to be in and out in under 5 days...never more than 10 days!
FAIL TO PLAN & YOU PLAN TO FAIL.... Sincerely Lucky Luciano

Plan sounds good .... What are using for an exit strategy ?
Check out Q (Quest Communications), nice set up for a swing trade. I see it as only a 7% return in 3 - 5 days. Well within your means of getting 20% in a month. ... Three trade like this and you have you 20%.
Thanks ... you input is appreciated. Lets hear your exit strategies.

I've shared just about everything i've found since i joined almost 5 years ago
We started up the SF/Muddy yahoo group : http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/StockFetcher/?yg
which has started up again after a years absence
what i've shared of late is my findings on the fastk filter and my new list of favorite stocks to trade(in the files section over there)off this filter and the MuddyZone pullbacks and the Squeeze/volume/breakout filter.
Now take a look at this: http://www.stocktickr.com/Muddy/
these are all from the Favs list that hit the afore mentioned filters,these are only 1-5 day holds so i'll take the profits from these soon,and they are big,and start over with a fresh list,no problem at all with 20% a month that i can see
So yeah,sharing is good for all
Regards,Muddy
