Swift fucked up and i was done about 1245... Luckly had a good day before that. No blotter as the quality 4000% faster server went down and i cant log in. Finished about 2150.

Good day again... Traded fairly well, although that new ticker (swift thing) really underscores how much better some other people are than me :/

Good way to start the month. About 700 to go till I work off last wednesday... Hopefully wont do that again.

I think by now everyone knows that tons ( i dont know any %'s) of large companies outsource to save money, and they pay what is demanded, not what is morally required. The comical part of this debate in my opinion is how everyone is so contented with teh status quo of swifttrade and no one...

When your picking arbitrary entry points i think they kinda go together. Its not like trainees are making calculated chart-driven entry's based on anything. In my experience what you quoted is not a great way to make money as a trainee, i prefer no losses, commision only.

Much money missed, but meh.

I am making a few assumptions such as: Your probably trading 100 shares. Your probably trading slow moving NYSE stocks based on L2 and the ES futures. Your trainee stop out is 50 bucks. (these could be wrong so let me know) So how exactly did you manage to lose 80 bucks? How long...

4700 to go?! Stupid yesterday holy F.....

Had my worst day ever by about 11 times today, and stopped out for the first time since about last june... oh and my first negative day in over a month... woot. Lesson of the day... when you have too many shares on a stock and you can get out for a $250 loss, but chose to try to make 250...

I just opened an IB account to do this to convert trading profits to canadian dollars as i am canadian. Although i havent made a trade yet i believe its $2, and lose only the spread, which is something like 3-4 pips. The bank is normally 200-400 pips i believe, so this is a major savings...

I was going to write how pissed off i was about my shit day and how i hate the fed and AMD (everything about it!), but how the hell can i complain after red_ink's day... damn

I trade AMD occasionally and i find that those prints happen when the stock is trending with huge buyers/sellers, or when the stock gets out of control off a big futures move or reversal. You have to get a feel for it, but you can normally see when the spec is going to print down or up cause he...

Should have made 1 more trade... i dont need any curses for the rest of this so far great month.... Pretty crappy all day but had a good trade near the close, and otherwise plugged away. Ended up with a decent total.

Got smashed on the ISI mess up (swifty's know) and was down 900, but came back to 0. THings got slow so i started trading LU, and managed to make some spreads on decent share lots. So because i was -900 to +850, ill consider this a success...

Way better than i thought it was going to be. Busiest day in a very long time.... more shares and trades than any time this month i think.

2nd best day ever. Took it easy after big trades in the morning for about 10.5k Obviuosly happy.

Better today, should be decent again tommorow i hope. What a futures move today, never seen anything that straight up and down anytime recently.

Have you ever even been to Tim Horton's? I dont remember the last time i went there for a donut or even a coffee for that matter. Id rather eat there than most any other fast food restaurant i know of.

Maybe CVX is just to fast as the nyob is delayed so it never matches that specs displayed quote. Also, maybe there was lots of broker interest which was not diplayed on the book.

Felt like i made something out of nothing. Not a great day, but ill take it.
