Counting with Doug: Financing a trip to Lake Tahoe solely with blackjack winnings?

Accounting for commissions

Two weeks in to the new year I have finally gotten around to having the trading log reflect the commissions paid out in the 2010 calendar year.

Not that it is a stunning amount: using TD Ameritrade’s $9.99 equity trade commission structure makes for simple math. My thirty five executed trades thus cost me about $350 for the year.

The trading log and all performance statistics on this site have been appropriately updated. From March to December, I’m up about 69% — not bad at all, but still short of my goal of doubling the account in a year. Stay tuned for that!
