Slow couple of days. 1/4: -$3640 on 631k shares 1/5: +$1255 on 398k shares 1/8: +$2891 on 345k shares Today's blotter is attached.

Way to go, Corey! I'm very happy with my day, overall. Started in an 8k hole in the first 20 min, and was able to climb out to post green on the day. Today was my most active volume day in history. I'm hoping it sets the stage for continued excellent volume and volatility in the days to...

Light trading today from the Bahamas, no blotter. +$1211 on 238k shares

Ugly, ugly, ugly. Worst day since 2004. Thanks a lot, ISLE. Whoever took the other side of my trade owes me at least a Christmas card and McDonalds gift certificate, or something. Note: I'm headed for the Bahamas and won't be back until the middle of next week. Happy holidays, all!

Here it is:

Results for the past 5 days: +$139 on 273k shares +$3831 on 295k shares +1634 on 253k shares +$3579 on 242k shares and today +$9292 on 357k shares I've reactivated most of my trading, after scaling back on it about a week ago after seeing poor results. I'm hoping the good results...

I confirmed that market volatility is the biggest key for my trading success. During the months of May, June and July, I had some of the best months I've seen in years. The rest of the year was mediocre. I'm hoping for increased volatility to return to the markets in early 2007 and stick...

I've only been trading with EDGX for a week, but consider myself to be almost an 'expert' with them at this point (I talked with them extensively at the Vegas expo and have talked with them several times per day each of the past ~4 days). Some general comments: 1) EDGX is awesome for...

Decent day, but not enough to offset much of the past three days. +$2791 on 231k shares (will get back to posting blotter screenshots soon, pain in the butt to do, have to cut/paste into Paint, then e-mail to a website that returns a pdf file. My Paint, Win2000, will only save as a bmp...

Another poor day here -$5262 on 341k shares Scaling back on a few strategies now, until things turn around a bit.

Sorry, just saw your questions. 1) That's a fortunate problem to have. I would trade them both! If I could only trade one of the two, I would trade the first one and consider increasing trade size by 10% if desired to increase profitability. 2) I'm not sure I understand the need to...

No blotter today. Ugly day, though. Burned by a stock with news reported in midafternoon. I hate when that happens. -$5075 on 437k shares.

It depends on the cash balance: http://www.sogoinvest.com/home/interestrates.aspx Genesis does not pay interest on short balances, though, as IB does. http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/accounts/fees/interest.php?ib_entity=llc#credit

I disagree. Being able to successfully trade manually is not a prerequisite for being a successful automated trader. There are huge differences between successful manual and successful automated trading. Manual trading requires systems with a larger edge, as few markets can be watched...

I guess I wasn't the only one to have a bad day. -$3k on 484k shares
