I missed buying back some EXM premarket at 48.46 by about one minute. My experience has been that this is common for them to move in my direction strongly so I thought this one would be falling today. most of the premarket trades that I watched pointed to a lower open as then happened below...

update/placeholder on some stats. consecutive non losing days 49 Last losing day 10-10-07 * 10-19-07 -1 and 10-12-07 - 6 due to commissions from entering in trades that were carried overnight (both trades where profitable) Also I stopped posting on C2 due to difficulty in posting...

What a crazy day. Traded three stocks today. All of them to the short side. S 2 STI @ 69.99 L 2 STI @ 68.97 +204 for the trade (hit the top on that move well) S:>6b S 2 TASR @ 14.46 L 2 TASR @ 14.18 +55 for the trade S:>6b The real challenge today was with EXM. All three of the...

tough day for me. I closed a small amount of money today and closed out my EFPs so I could carry overnight EXM. IB is over reporting my profits because of the closing of the EFPs (I don't consider them to be trading profits) Open -1546 +147 for the day + 895 for the week +9633...

VERY nicely done Title

I am trying to do some scalping starting today. The scalping worked out well. I tried to find some nas stocks where I could use the IB booktrader to quickly place orders. kept it simple and small to start (I have been paper trading my scalping for a while to get to the point where I felt...

Hey Red Ink, Great trading. I guess I was a little luckier today with ATVI as I just started scalping that one today. (I didnt make anywhere near the kind of money you do) Best of trading to you and Happy holidays

Didn't get a chance to post my trades as they happened for a few reasons. I am posting them on another site, I am trying to do some scalping so (don't want to lose trades while I type) and I usually also give them on the ET chat in real time. The scalping worked out well. I tried to find...

In my reports I have trades that are being reported on the wrong day and the commissions do not match up with TWS. unreal for a company of that size in the business they are in to have that many issues with ACCOUNTING....... not sure what else to do though as the commissions are SOOO much...

Upon enough funding I would be willing to volunteer my time and go to the AMPs in my area daily and report my findings back to the group. I know it will take a lot of time, dedication and work but I am willing to do that for you guys. All I ask in return would be reimbursement for my...

upon looking at my trade execution report I do see that commissions where charged but they did not show up in the TWS 'trades' as I uploaded in my last post. You may want to look at the report and see if in fact you were charged.

Here is my days blotter. not that I mind if the numbers for commissions are correct but I doubt they are. You can see that i was not charged any commission for the NED trades today. In an effort to lower my commissions i did not route to SMART but rather to ARCA and all the ARCA trades...

flat for the day (except for the EFPs) +504 for the day/week +9242 for the month (IB once again shows my profit to be higher than it actually is. NED performance is not as high and I believe the blotter profit is based on the closing price of NED from FRI, not the average price I paid...

As a result of being asked many times for my system and/or trades I am posting all my trades in real time on Collective2 so if anyone wants to duplicate my trades they can. flat for the day (except for the EFPs) +504 for the day/week + 9242 for the month (IB once again shows my...

L DRYS @ 70.61 covered at 70.96 S:>6b+ +69 for the trade

IB is listing the profit based on the closing price of Friday and NOT the average cost so the reported profit is too high. ~+224 for the trade and not 842

S SOHU 52.82 53.19 covered at 52.61 52.40 S:6b> + 198 for the trade (this trade was actually before the NTRI trade)

Short NTRI @ 25.79 covered @ 25.68 S:>6b+ covered early, IB didnt have more than 200 shares for me to short. Didnt want to stick around with one hand tied behind my back. +22 for the trade

sold and bought some NED. tried the ARCA exchange instead of smart on the exits. Was charged zero commission for the ones that worked (I was also hit for 24 shares and then needed to exit the other 76 to round out the lot) tried the IB ticket method of trade entry and bought 100 shares...

I agree with you that we would give up a little interest to have 100% safe money BUT the difference between 0% and 4%+ is IMHO not a LITTLE interest. On another note, you could sell some EFPs and get synthetic interest by buying the stock and shorting SSFs. at 50 cents a pop it seems that...
