What about the day that XOM traded 24million in one print at around 57 bucks a share. Stocked dropped a dollar instantly. Not bad slippage considering thats 1.368 billion dollars.... hehe
Shouldnt come to work with expectations, i traded like total shit. Took 2 $400 losses, so if i would have just chilled out i would have had a quiet grand. I finished at my high which i guess is positive, but bleh.....
My little (big) friend upticked today and the happy patterns continue, things are looking up for tommorow as well, so hopefully it can be another good week. Just pray i dont get BRUT stickies!?
Very good week overall. Set a record for myself today in that i held a trade from opening print to closing print (part of it anyways). Longest trade ever thats for sure!
No expectations for next week, my happy little pattern trades ended today so i wont get a free 2 grand anymore.... sad...
In 2001 probably. 2006? Hardly. I have a nasdaq entitlement only for the opening and closing crosses.
Things have changed, a guy in my branch said he made top in the company one day a few years ago with 1500 bucks, 2 days ago i did 4700 and didnt make the top 5 by several thousand dollars...
Ive never seen a swift thread this positive. Im not even jaded and i feel like making a bashing post just to add some balance ot the thread... where are all the haters when you need them?
I guess its a sign of the times, when cash is rolling in the door, it matters less how much the door...
Well i start at 40% and go to 55%, so i think you go from 45-60%. My average payout is like 45-47%, so yours is probably in the mid 50's.
And for accuracies sake, there is a 6.5 cent/1000 clearing fee capped at something like 25 or 30 cents a trade. Although daily this is something like 35...
Computer's internet was messed up at work so no picture today. Finished at 2310 with like $25 LFT. Decently happy with that. Today was a day where if was more risky and possibly reckless i would have made over 5k no problem.... maybe tomorrow ill take a swing.
Overall i suppose i should be happy with the total but im really pissed about it. Messed up 2 trades near the close and got F'd for 700 bucks as you can see on the close. Not to mention the closing print was 8 cent higher which cost me 500 bucks cause i got the last regular print of the day...
