Hello Piggie, Thanks for reading my journal and taking the time to make a post. You are very right in that lessons do need to be learned when trades go bad and I think even when they go well you should try to learn something. In the case of LEH I didn't follow my trading rules and was...

Good day. Have a good weekend everyone !! + 9822 for the day + 12173 for the week + 11086 for the month

Good day today, started closing out HIG in premarket and was totally out during the first 20 mins. turned into one of my best trades in a long time. + 8672 Traded STI options + 710 shorted QQQQ based on my belief that the market would sell off after the bailout was approved + 425...

Thanks, I sold out and even was able to get a lot of shares sold for 31.95 - 31.99 turned into my best trade in a very long time.

In premarket its up over $3 already. With the bailout more likely than not going to pass the house today I would not be surprised to see it move up $6 +

Any thoughts on HIG? I bought some shares at the close and may buy some more at the open as a bet that the house approves the new "welfare bill" Seems like this one is pretty bloody and overdone but these days it appears the sky really is falling

Long HIG at the end of the day. Still holding long as I am buying the rumor. - 4095 for the day +2351 for the week + 1264 for the month

not sure a good day. working on a new signal and went a little heavy with the shares and it didnt work. Was worse but was able to scalp a bit more than 300 back NOC - 4678 PFG + 589 closed out IAR as it looked like it was going sub $1. PE is just crazy on it but walked away with a...

I might as well go on vacation. Lot more risk for my style of trading being long than short in this market. Still have yet to see a stock that was harmed by legal short selling.

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aQTMsp.Vz12A&refer=home Oct. 1 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will extend a ban on short-sales of financial stocks, leaving the prohibition in place until Congress approves a $700 billion economic bailout. The...

When the US catches a cold the rest of the world gets pneumonia. Its not so much the dollar is strong its that the other currencies get that much weaker. Just one guys opinion though. (I own AUD myself and hold them from the gains made on the SPI as a hedge)

correction to the gain for the week + 5359 for the day / month + 6446 for the week

pretty happy with the whole day. + 5359 for the day week month

Today worked out well. Not so many shares Stayed with the RRI short and scalped it for extra good measure. RRI cost me yesterday but waiting it out paid off + 4751 GE was a quick scalp. Wanted to short above 25.50 which would have been super great but Mr. Cox doesnt think the public...

Stock777 is a good fade

Red, we cant do that because........ "But the children will suffer" "they didnt know what they were signing and the mortgage brokers took advantage of them" "Every American should own a home" "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer" "speculators caused this mess" "Its...

Very nice RED !!! Had a mistake on entry with a new signal otherwise a good day - 3881 for the day + 1087 for the week - 31835 for the month

Worked on a new signal with NOV and RRI. I think I would have done better for the day if I would have traded other stocks based on the ending results but wanted to focus. Was up on RRI and due to some mis entries ended up working on it all day. - 4085 NOV + 204 - 3881 for the day +...

Appears the market is set to open higher. I will be looking to fade as nothing has changed except the specialists looking to unload all the stock they had to buy at the close yesterday

maybe you could call me cheap (I am) but I trade with IB for the commissions. I just havnt found a way to even come close with anyone else. I also use TS for charting and scanning and I have had one problem after another for the last couple of weeks with "loading". IB has worked out well...
