boring day, called it early ~ -20 after commissions

Done at 10:43 ~ +540 after commission

Last week was a good week. Market gave a good amount for the taking. Wednesday I had a few hiccups with AMED, but it worked out in the end. Friday, best day yet. I probably should have focused on VVUS a bit more, but I'm definitely happy about the outcome of the day :D. The group video is...

The week started off real nice. Easy direction picking on Tuesday, followed some advice and picked up some CTRP July 32 calls in my cash account. Wednesday I didn't trade too much, I was trying to figure out where and when I should let those calls go. I decided it would have been a little...

I have been extremely busy as of late, so I have not been keeping up as I should (broker probably doesn't like me since I haven't been trading much). The past week has been great as I've been picking up more plays, learning what to watch and when to watch it, as well as making a few plays of...

Sure, I didn't crop anything out in this pic. Fairly simple layout, not 500 different buttons like I have seen from other people. The market buy/sell buttons are actually linked to the super smart orders, so I don't get a fill at .20 when I wanted it at no more than .05. The other monitor has...

Well, right now I'm just going based on the group leaders calls so no scanning software. I'll scan through the big name stocks throughout the day, draw some trendlines and set some alerts while also taking advantage of the finviz heatmaps. I know the guy uses trade ideas, but I'm not sure what...

Pretty neat, found my group on youtube...thought i'd post the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/OMGYAK

Life happened so I didn't trade Mon-Wednesday. Thursday back in the saddle the market didn't give much besides THO. Even with that I didn't play it well enough to make the most of it. Friday was fairly easy, two trades and done well before noon.

Good point, I will from here on out. I couldn't cut the bad trade until it made sense so took 636 down. Some trades I'm scaling, some I'm in and out, it just depends on the trade. I'll read through your journal this weekend, the bit I just did looks like it'll be a good read.

sheew now that's some money! I traded VXX vs UPRO for a few hours this am.

Alright, back on track.. Just played UPRO vs VXX this morning. Right off the open I played market to the upside using 200 shares UPRO and 300 shares VXX as a hedge and that worked out well. Was wrong on the second one, and right two more times. Then played the downside using 200 UPRO and...

Back to reality. Today was short and not so sweet. I took max pain this morning fairly fast.

This morning started off pretty rough. Jumped in FAF, since it started moving right off the open, turns out it was a spinoff ipo of some sort so market sold and got a horrible fill. Lesson learned, never market sell an illiquid stock that's moving to the downside. It's pretty hard to...

Yesterday seemed a little bit more easy I guess since I sat in with the group again, but yeah. In the morning we traded RIG and APC for a decent move, but I did end up taking a loss on APC (hoping it'll move today). DB was the winner for the day..looking back on it, I cut it way short. All in...
