What if you know for a fact that you are a much better morning trader than afternoon based on your own journals? Why NOT go bigger in the morning and go light in the afternoon? Why NOT skip afternoon trading if you made your money in the morning and DO NOT sense a serious move in broad market...

On a side note I had a serious discussion with my boss and looks like my contract will finally be done this week. Quite honestly our team had a rocky start but thankfully it won't count against me as I was never "officially" in charge. He was pleased with my recent recruitings and gave me...

A very hard game in a must win situation as I HAD to get this one to get some of my offense flowing. Fortunately I was able to hit a large percentage of my shots and got the much needed win after Friday's blown-out. 13600 shares each way on 6 of 9 shooting, +763 before commissions, +345 after...

It was good, all I can say is, the man who came to our office today, the one I had a drink (actually I had a glass of water because I almost never drink) with, would be the best addition to our team this far. While he lacks actual intraday trading experience, if I have to choose between him...

Forgive me for telling you the truth, but before you had that SLM trade, I was getting desperate of looking for a scapegoat who will make me feel a little bit better. Today was just not the type of day to get blown out on, it was the type of day that I normally excel on because both futures...

This morning our firm installed an update for the order entry system which corrupted my system. The MIS guy had to re-install it and he finished it at literally the opening bell. I wish he never finished it, I wish I missed the entire open . . . I was very anxious to start trading as soon...

I need a free drink tonight, I got smoked :-(

I think backtesting intraday trading strategies for individual stocks on NYSE is total garbage. I know those of you who favor Nasdaq typically hates/sucks in tape reading and can't wait for the open book to render tape reading obsolete. We will see what happens by the end of this month. A...

Since we trade side by side, and I have total confidence in you as the best player on my team (or at least the one that I would bet my account on to make it), I try not to talk to you too much as I want you to eventually develop your own style. So as always, take what I tell you as suggestions...

You can pretty much count me in :-) Unless she calls, which rarely happens, I will be there for sure.

The morning energy move cost me what could have been a great opportunity to rebound from yesterday's losses. Refused to open the new year with back-to-back losses and I managed to slip into the black in final minutes. 23100 shares each way on 6 of 15 shooting, +633 before commissions, +15...

Not yet, neither am I, but we will be :cool:

It was freezing outside and wind hit my face like a razor blade. I was stuck in the train this morning and walked into the office the exact same second that opening bell went off. I was cold, I was ice cold, and I could not immediately focus myself. Still, since my forte has always been...

Hit List Moment: http://hitmantb.tripod.com The game that I shouldn't have lost. The game that made me realize that I should trade some tier 2's in addition to tier 1's. The surprise Fed rate cut. January 2001 The new year is turning into a nightmare. Two games into the January...

December was a fitting conclusion to what was my first profitable month in professional trading. I was able to overcome an early 3 games losing streak and put together a flawless pay period as I ended the year on a 13 games winning streak. I have many expectations for this year, as my goal...

I am a recruiter for Worldco and we do listed trading (pure intraday) with little to no capital contribution required. Our experienced traders all get payout's in 90's, and they do sizes as big as 10-20K shares. If you are interested please e-mail te_bai@hotmail.com with a brief summary of...

Candle: Silk had a few years of Nasdaq experience under his belt, and I believe trading 600 share positions he made our top 30 list once. It is possibly the best possible transition from one market to the other, but he is by no means a newbie :-) Silk: Congratulations on a...

The Bottom Line: Games Played: 246 Net Positive: 176 (71.5%) Gross Positive: 212 (86.2%) Net Total: $73,952 Gross Total: $150,865 Average Net Gain: +661 Average Net Loss: -605 True Average: +300.61 (I will post a graph of my P&L on my web page this weekend) January...

With year 2001 coming to an end, I barely kept my streak alive and finished my first flawless pay period ever. Took some heavy hits this morning as I went too aggressive in energy and had some serious execution errors in my DNA bullet, fortunately made a come back with home builders and with 30...

Nobody is responsible for capital losses at Worldco, which is why we encourage people putting up a little bit money of their own ($500, $1000, $2000, whatever) so we can give them better commission rates, simply because we want to provide some incentive for those who can put up something of...
