taking off early today, as this will be my last blotter. another positive day. thanks all who have shared especially DT. I will be trading DTs filters in the days ahead, to see if i cant find another consistent source of income. great trading, patrick

made money on openings and mid-day trading, yet lost -208.50 on 17 positions w/ 100 shs in DT filter trades. still ended up the day overall positive, so i cant complain. what is sad, is that I was up money in all of my DT trades at one point in time for the trade. i have a feeling this is likely...

mk, nice to see you back and setting the pace on the thread. $100 on opening orders, yet lost -53.50 on 14 positions w/100 shs only for DTs filter. but, ended up profitable for the day, as mid-day trading was ok. but it was a lot of work. patrick

DT LOL. I know it sure is not me, but the filter and market climate. learning how to fade moves, when the market climate changes in the coming months fading moves is going to be the next big thing to learn and get comfortable with. I created a basic 25% pullback from highs filter as well...

well DT, did super today with your filter. +420 on 13 positions, w/ only 100 shs. good market for it today. no opening fills for me today, and mid-day trading was typical. patrick

ok start to the 1st of the month, with openings doing well, and mid-day trading. yet, i was down -222.50 on DT filters today, in 12 positions w/ 100 shs per trade. i am still learning tons and taking notes for DTs way of trading, and actually thinking about DTs filters and how to trade it and...

lackluster Friday. spent a few hours trading myself out of from the negative. was down slightly in the DT trades, yet positive on the day, and week. have a super weekend, all. patrick

DT, thanks for the input on how you approach "seeing extended moves", as today there were lots of them. funny, today i remember saying that alot when filtering through charts, as issues hit the filters, and that lead me to hesitate. and i missed some good moves. patrick

was busy again today trading DTs, setups. was breakeven in lots, but had a few good winners. patrick

was able to grind again today, however, i started trading DTs setups. i did 100 shs per trade, and did not average up, or buy the dips. (+$116 on 17 positions.) it sure felt like i worked today, as getting used to a new layout, and determining how to monitor positions is KEY for this type of...

mk ... LOL. I like your honest and blunt responses. LOL! i got into the online poker, and heck it sure is addicting. i am finally net positive on my play, but barely.

breakeven on opening orders, but was able to grind out some money, and catch a few good trades. patrick mk, you getting better as you play more of the online poker?

i will join the crew and take off early today as well. nothing on opening orders, yet was able to grind some on mid-day trading. DT, I put up your recent scan on TradeIdeas and pulled a little out of SYNX. I got him at 5.45 on very small size, then averaged up. Filter looks good and makes sense...

made back about +725 yesterday, but still was down big after getting whacked by hmo's on opening orders. then, this am i have computer problems and can't do openings, and it turns out to be a very profitable day in them as lescor showed us. grinded out some today. be back at it next week. have a...

Mike, nice job on the comeback! I have to admit, I did a very bad job trading this morning. I paid too much attention to my P/L, and because it was news related I simply was afraid to average down and try and trade myself out of the hole. (WLP whacked me hard about 4 months ago, whereby i...

(limitdown, i did not get any PM nor email come thru for you. Please send again ... you have it wrong. my unrealized $89 is what I have open, and the 1366 was what I had booked for the day.) opening orders just hammered me this morning. i missed the healthcare sector news, and took my worst...

nothing on opening orders, but mid-day trading was ok. mk ... online poker ... beware!... before you know it you will be at the computer 16 hours a day playing. LOL. patrick

it will be a short 2 hours of trading today - up about +1k today, namely all from opening orders. did +1450 yesterday, so the daily consistency continues in equities. (sure wish i had mk's daily numbers) no currency trades for me the last 5 days.

typical day in equities. was able to get some swings intraday on the UNH-PHS merger spread. have not traded much in currencies last 3 days. have a great weekend all, patrick

lost again in currencies (-62.50), but made (+597) in equties, so positive on the day. back at it tomorrow. dt, you figure out how MK does it in LU? Nice trading. patrick
