    Trader P/L 2009

    Almost +7k last week. This will be my last blotter. I had a huge epiphany on Wednesday after a lost a bunch from the HW mark of the day. And the same thing happened the day before. I realized that when I'm up I tend to focus on hitting an X amount of profit target and call it a day...

    Staying Healthy

    I'm 29 - no health problems. I already follow a vegetarian calorie restriction diet. I avoid junk food. I do cardio and/or weight lifting 4x a week. Now I'm looking towards supplements to take it to the next level. So far all I take is Centrum. I'm gonna try Resveratrol.

    30 million in stocks sold in 2008; TurboTax doesn't work

    This is what I did. I broke the 30 mill. aggregate number into 4 separate lines that add up to the 30 mill total number. So my net proceeds matches what the IRS received from the broker. I then subtract my profit for the year to get the cost basis. I figure I'm a super low audit risk and...

    I'm Unable to Buy Gold (Feb 09 contract, GCG9)

    What does OI mean? And why do only locals trade the march contract?

    I'm Unable to Buy Gold (Feb 09 contract, GCG9)

    IB says I can only short the feb contract. I cannot buy. He said there are not enough sellers to buy the contract so I can only short the Feb contract and if I want to go long then I'd have to go long the March contract. This doesn't make sense, if there is an offer - why can't I hit it?
