my platform's acting up, so i had to go into my account for the printscreen. i think i'm doing well considering i'm getting my ass handed to me on a 2,000 share QQQQ position.

best day in 6 weeks. 6,900 shares traded.

hey mnx, great job. what's your style? do you scale in and out of your trades, or do just jump in and jump out with one huge lot? do you think you could post your trades one of these days? thanks.

"Don't be a delta neutral clown, get long this primo and watch it explode like a google straddle." :D that's kinda funny.

i was going by the Barron's article, but i'm long GS so i hope you're right.

looks like Goldman may have bought the top in oil, and now they're paying for it. i knew that Oil @ $105 call was suspect. they mighta been trying to move it back up so they could bail.

alotta rich guys would rather invest the money, then use the interest from the investments to pay the piti on a mortgage. if their realized gains exceeded the payments on the cheap 6% mortgage, they'd be ahead of the game. this guy made the mistake of putting the lion's share of his net worth...

scalping q's and q options were a major part of my profits last year. that trading was done in other accounts. on April 21st, i started throwing some volume at them in this account. now i realize extrapolation isn't an exact science, but i don't think it takes an ingested...

hey, Mike.. nope, no other costs. .004 is it, plus the .00325 to remove, and .00175 to add. basically our old office manager asked me what i'd be comfortable paying. i thought i was lowballing him by saying .004, and he just said okay then .004 it is. i was sitting thinking i got hosed...

thanks for the kind words. i'm glad you like the journal. i've gotten some real positive feedback from it, and jotting down my daily thoughts in it has been alotta fun. my commissions are .004, and .00325 to remove liquidity. it's not the greatest, but fair considering i negotiated it a...

i used to have psychological issues where trading big was concerned. i was a 1,000 share lot tradin' desperado during the bubble with success. unfortunately, however, i was routinely getting my ass handed to me when i came back to the biz last year trading 1,000's cuz i wasn't able to nail my...

thanks. believe me, i'd love to start trading more manly positions, but my margin just won't allow it. my bread and butter stocks are in the $90-$120 range, and with an $85,000 retail account, i just can't size up as i'd like to. i'm pretty much forced to keep my positions under a total of...

jesus christ. do you get 100% payout?

goldman and the Q's rallied nicely into the close. turned out to be a pretty good day after all. 13,200 shares traded. hava nice weekend, and don't go spending all those profits in one place now!

9,500 shares traded. not exactly setting the world on fire today, but it's like i always say.. it beats actually working for a living. :p and it'll extend my little green streak to 5 days. http://www.freewebs.com/mytradingjournal/currentstretch3.png

how do you set it so you can access pages from your cache files instead out automatically reloading everytime you visit the page? my dsl sucks, and i end up using dial-up more than half the time. i can't stand the constant reloads. thanks.

hey, mnx.. do you need a license to trade prop at Swift? and do you think you can give me a screenshot of the trading platform? i can't find it on the website. i'm looking for a prop deal, and i see your commissions look to be in the .0015 range. thanks!

9,200 shares traded..

i bought a little MWD at the close yesterday. i'm glad they're talking settlement.

broker/dealer debt is a little different than that of other companies. they have hundreds of billions of dollars under management, and must borrow (until recently, at 1%) to be able to extend margin to their clients (at 5-8%). they've also been re-investing those 1% short-term monies into...
