    Trader P/L 2008

    last night: 1 step forward, 10 steps back. and to think i was up 6m @ one point. get the feeling i will be posting the obituary for this account one of these days. amazing how i quickly have many of the top 25 losses on this thread for the year, but none of the top 100 gains. here, i'll...

    Trader P/L 2008

    this shows both last night and then a couple hours today. traded fairly well, as is usually the case when i scale back size. so, an ok day considering my testicles spent the day in an old mayonnaise jar on the porch...

    Trader P/L 2008

    from last night- did not trade during the day today. not bad, but a frustrating LFT. for the month... well, more frustration- at least i ended in the black this month: up ~33m. given that i had days of: -29,673 -35,423 -14,791 plus a couple other days -9m in september... i'm far...

    TRADE ALERT - Buy QQQQ Oct 2008 38.00 calls

    can't- lost all my money buying those rimm calls from your last TRADE ALERT thread. do you even trade? just wondering, as traders look to their p&l to gauge aptitude, not looking for affirmation from strangers on an annon board.

    Trader P/L 2008

    as i heard someone say on cnbc asia last night: i felt like a eunuch at an orgy today. my charts failed right as the vote started looking to be a no and all hell broke loose. i was completely blind. got so frustrated that i put in a trade anyway- lost that $2m in about 30 seconds- moron. that...

    Robbed !!!!

    are you sure it wasn't just someone sick of your stupid posts without a blotter in the P&L thread? isn't it true that he only asked you for a copy of your blotter, you refused, threw $100 at him and then ran screaming that you were robbed?

    Trader P/L 2008

    only traded 120 minutes today- the 1st 110 were fine trading, the last 10 minutes wiped it out- funny how that works... a pathetic +700 on the day. IB's inconsistent updates means the blotter shows last night as well (total +7057). frustrating week/month/year (since march)

    Trader P/L 2008

    no blotter yesterday. was -1,100 this is a target rich market for trading tonight, but i have pissed away enough gains lately that, psychologically, i need to put a win in the books; so i'm stopping here. more importantly, the tWINs came back and swept the sox, and now lead the AL central...

    Trader P/L 2008

    this is the low point of my 18 month trading career: losing confidence in a trade that i had extreme conviction about because of a post on ET. i NEVER look @ ET when i'm in a trade. i shorted 44 ES @ 3.20pm and short 5 DAX @ 6114.70. my target for both was 3 pionts above low of the day...

    Trader P/L 2008

    PM: traded great and was up 8,800 last night and hit a new high for my acct despite some absolute shit trading of late. alas, i quickly returned to form and managed to piss it away, mini imploded to down 26m and ended the misery at ~ -9400 (forgot to take a screen shot) Day: was...

    IB data slow?

    i don't know wtf their problem is, but eurex and dtb have gone down 2-4x per night every night for the past week or so. i'm on the HK server, so it's not a server reset (their explanation for any connection issues (well, that, and blaming my connection). hasn't hurt me tonight though- i'm...

    Trader P/L 2008

    was @ this level >3 hours ago and got way too cute. fought back, so my 'only' penalty is that i have to be up in 2 1/2 hours- fuck me. hey, sleep's overrated anyway (no it's not!). so, with daytime trading (c other blotter entry), total for the day= 18,566. here's the blotter for tonight...

    They just banned short selling in US

    i have never seen the ES DOM look like this before. this is a trip. wonder if they'll outlaw shorting futures too! actually, shorting futures may be the only hedge available. be interesting to see if we all the sudden see single stock futures get a shitload of volume. this is so fucked up...

    They just banned short selling in US

    i'm thinking the same thing- surprised we're not higher. look at the dom for the ES- no size showing vs normal this time of day- big gaps on the ask- i sure as fuck wouldn't step in front of a train knowing the govt. just disabled the brakes...

    Trader P/L 2008

    first P&l post. i've shied away for regulatory reasons, but i need some accountability for my struggles with my own $ (besides, it's not like i'm saying who i am). anyway, i can consistently make 30-50m/month, but that is far from my goal. every time i size up, i implode. not due to fear; in...

    asia is getting murdered...

    hey hero: the n225 futures opened @ the low of the day. if you're telling the truth (ahem), you're bragging about being down 150+ points x 20 contracts. brag bs to your friends. when you post on a trading forum, assume somebody actually trades the contract you're lying about and then...
