I didn't even know he was still around. I've haven't seen him post in months

not going to post a blotter, basically no trades. I realized my loss on NTRI - down about a G. Then I tried to step on STP, but my BP was a bit weak. I guess I'll pick it up tomorrow. I'm going to ramp up my swing trades again. Back to the bread and butter. With taxes coming up, I've got...

-602.50 on 12,600 shares I know most traders love choppy markets, but I can't figure it out. In addition, I've been in a pissy mood for the last week. Maybe I'll take a few days off.

-310.42 on 29,380 So damn pissed. Up between 75 and 250 most of the day, and then I just made some stupid trades w/ big size. I need to have a long talk with myself. AAPL did it to me again, but check out the nice one on AMZN. I'm a commission generatin' fool. What a way to top off one...

69 on 27,500 shares what a crazy day. I don't want to even explain

yeah, i agree - the volatility is really high against a straight-line benchmark (say, 10% total return yearly), even though beta against the S&P 500 is quite low. Odd. I just bought some more because we're sitting about 1% above the 50 day, which is my stop now. I'm averaged in at about...

Growth still looks good, and their outlook, they say, is stronger than ever. Their top line was larger than thompson surveys, but eps of only .16, while average estimate was .17 (the low was likewise .16). When the 10q comes out later this month, I assume it will say bottom line was affected...

178.71 on 10,498 trades churn for most of the day until about 3 when I started pulling it in. Nothing really ground breaking today, except I keep getting distracted by Erin - sheesh, she's a cutie. I'm not sure what happened on NBR, just went the wrong way on me...very far the wrong way...

day trades? no swing trades? yes This month was the first month I show anything close to improvement in intraday. Check out the PnL boards.....

What are you guys talking about? You mean when ARCA is turned on in the mornings? I'm completely clueless..... :confused:

-$285.16 on 4,256 shares Funny action today. Fed days are always strange. I had really good entries, and the ones that went wrong went really wrong, the ones that went right, were just ok. I had system problems which kept me from putting good size on the fat pitches - intraday buying power...

good lord, man - what did you do?

+508 on 20,600 shares open = $3200 LEND was my big one today. Once again, I was holding something as Cramer mentioned it on "Stop Trading." I was in LEND around 52.29, and it was doing a nice break-out-then-hold-the-9-minute-SMA pattern to about $52.80 or so. Soon as Cramers bald head...

Tenor? lalalalala - my comments:D

I like what you've done, and I have similar spreadsheets that I used to use. However, mine weren't so elaborate. I don't think you should market this to day traders, at least in the current version. It is nearly impossible for a day trader's trades to be entered in this manner. If you...

sorry it took so long to get back, I've been travelling all day. when commissions are less that .01, it doesn't really hurt that much. If you can get a 50% win rate, make .03 and lose .02 on avg, then you're a winner in the long run. with my commissions (.006/share) I can win .018 and lose...

yeah, I'm w/ ripley - Let me clarify. Sometimes I'll hold on to stuff if it's running - especially if I bought it on a pullback during a trend. I scalp on fibs and bollingers which make up about 50% of my trades and I'd say less than 50% of my PnL

agreed

thank you! Makes sense to me
