4 short fills, ave winner .05

7 fills, 6 longs, -.01. Would have been ugly but ABT came up a 54 cents winner which saved the day. HAL was also good at .07.

I've sat next to great traders. It doesn't work unless you can match their volume, willingness to take the pain and have the capital to take the pain. I could not follow 3 traders making over 300K a year. I used their methods on lighter volume, but the great traders are using 5000 - 10000...

5 longs, 4 shorts, 5 winners, but got smoked on a JPM short for net loss; should have pulled from list - smarted from that one all day.
