    Trader P/L 2005

    +85 today. Super weak (not week!) all around. DPH was being held down at 4.40 for over an hour mid day. Have very few losses, but just couldnt MAKE any money today.

    Trader P/L 2005

    Late night gotta get to sleep! +238 today. Did about 800 gross but made tons of trades and suffered some ridiculas losses. Very frustrating, 2 guys around me did 1k+ and i should have done close to that at least today :/

    Realistic question when starting out...

    As a young canadian this is also not an issue for me. If your young and single, why not get out while you can there are some great spots up here!

    Trade your way through College- NOT

    I should have added to my post that although i tried to outline why it is a bad idea for a college student to take this 'oppourtunity' i am fairly sure that lots will, and i would assume they will make money(the company). I agree with the above poster as well though, preying on the innocent and...

    Trade your way through College- NOT

    As a swift trader this just makes me laugh. In the time it took me, and everyone else that i have seen in our branch, to get to a point where i made money, i could have made thousands at a regular part time job. Not to mention lots of schools offer co op for higher paying jobs, and...

    Do you prefer 1600x1200 or 1680x1050?

    At home 1280x1024 for my 17in monitor. At work i have 2 19's (Crappy CRT's) that are 1024/768 (i think thats the next one down not 100% sure). Does that make me technically retarded for this poll?

    Zero for myself. Quite the opposite as im sure you know on NYSE. I give away hundreds in fees to the various service providers and the SEC everyday.

    Trader P/L 2005

    +345 today. Solid day overall. Found ELN over the past few days as well. Trades at a low price with good movement and decent volume, so now i have DPH and ELN to watch daily. DPH was doing great volume and easy moves EOD and that helped a lot.

    +267 today. Pretty solid all around, had some good and some bad positions, but overall just no homerun trades or strikeout losses i guess. Mundane feel to the day.

    I would say trading price innefficiency instead of price movement.

    Trader P/L 2005

    +845 today. Similar trades as yesterday except they just sorta worked today. Traded DPH mostly, as well as looking at ELN and AKS as they are cheap and do decent volume but have range. Probably half 'real' and half gimmick today. Its hard to avoid gimmick trading at swift as some days people...

    Trader P/L 2005

    And now my worst day ever! -271 today. DPH was overtaken by millenium traders around midday friday and i ended up doing well, but today it was just stupid. Offer was stacked all day, and the guy just ate hundreds of thousands of shares. So i couldnt trade my baby, EMC had me on a few...

    Trader P/L 2005

    I had my best day ever by so much on friday it was amazing. +1007. Around 500 trading dph in the morning and also around 500 doing some gimmick trading on it later in the day. I saved my blotter cause it was my first 1g day, so when i get home later i will post teh whole thing to avoid any...

    Trader P/L 2005

    Red Ink your right i screwed up some numbers some where, i thought i remember the price right but was obviously wrong. Today was my most hectic day at work ever and i almost had to end my trading career. I was long 200 TXU this morning as an opening trade, but when it started falling early i...

    Trader P/L 2005

    Haha no. I did watch it but i finally am to the point where i dont just hit the keys when i start salavating. (See: JPM news ~1-2 months ago, BA news around same time) It was a very clear uptrend as im sure you saw and i probably could have bought long, but i just couldnt bring myself to...

    Trader P/L 2005

    +50 today. Had a 180 loss. Couldnt hold the pain and got out too soon. Lots of things came together to cause this and a rash decision solidified it. My numbers say +2550 for the month, swift bop numbers say something like 2800, so if they actually give me that total i wont complain. Its...

    VLO

    This stock was crazy today oh my god. One of the clearest uptrents from something like 104-108, but i just couldnt get my finger to hit the buy key because of the extreme specialist lag, fear of finding the top, and high chance of being shaken out. Then 30 seconds later i wish i had bought and...

    Trader P/L 2005

    +123 today. Was up 180 around 2, and fell back all the way to -29, but had some good trades late to get some money back. Gross was over $320 today, i made a ton of trades and paid a whopping amount of fees. Opening was bad again today, 3 days in a row losing. I will give it 1 or 2 more days...
