breaking a rule, losing a trade, wining a trade does not make you an idiot. blowing out your account, doing the same mistakes over and over might..... understanding risk to ruin so that you can maximize your profits with the smallest of risk is as important as the setups and exits...

pretty slow day. - 891 for the day - 2161 for the week - 5491 for the month

MON retrace 38.2% = 119.63 Very slow day today. Mostly worked on the Linux box I am trying to get running. very slow process. Traded 5K shares of IAR on the TS account to get the month free of platform fees. Traded CNC back and forth again today. Getting hit with FIFO accounting...

GREAT DAY Nod !! my day was not as big - 38 for the day -1270 for the week -4600 for the month in a hurry so no blotter today

not much going on today again. two days in a row I have spent more time beating my head against the linux server i am trying to setup than trading. traded CNC back and forth. mostly added to my current short. Ended up shorting about 2500 more shares at 23.49 by the end of the day. also...

Hello Jeff, Thanks, its very nice of you to point that out. While I didnt know that was the reason for the move I did know by looking at the move that there was very big news for the stock. What your seeing is big time greed going on. DNA did not make my limit sell price but I will...

swing trade alert DNA Asking 99.35 to short to start the scale in. Next point is about 1% higher or about 100.50

Ok day. Feels like IB has less and less stock available for shorting. Maybe its not just IB. + 1029 for the day - 1232 for the week - 4562 for the month

Overall a very slow day. Gave me time to work on charts First signal today was with LDK. Way overbought during the open. Tried to short it but IB didnt have any shares it wanted to loan me. Ended up shorting ITM near month calls to get a high beta to the price. Commissions are so much...

MON 23.6% retrace is at 113.42

I can get it to work on my PDA phone (tmobile wing) but its next to worthless. I think they hired some high school kid in India to develop it from what I can tell. My experience is that you can not trade off of it but rather use it in an emergency to close out when NOTHING else works. Best...

Thanks for the post. As someone who trades with IB and not totally happy (or unhappy) I took at quick look and if your trading > 400K shares per month this may be an option to look at. For myself I trade about 200-400K per month and dont find the offer worth changing for. I will say...

What a day. Lots of stocks lighting up the screener today. way more than could be managed even with all the monitors. weekend carry overs turned out well. PLCM + 128 in addition to what was made on Friday. PWR + 250 in addition to what was made on Friday. MRDX + 37 (overbought to...

watchlist for today SHORTS MCD MDRX MTH WERN PLCM PWR

I will be watching MCD to see if it can make it above 68ish in the next couple of days. appears to be getting ahead of itself but I will need to see a final push up before shorting.

I dont think you can beat www.blocks.com it can do it all and just about make lunch too. its free for end of day data and pretty cheap for real time data.

NoDoji, Nice going. Good way to end the week with two days in a row of gains. Your lower volume may end up costing you more per share / total commissions but IMHO its way more offset by the much lower risk to ruin that you now have. I bet on big losing days you were not thinking about...

CNC still fighting the battle. Did actually buy some back at the open for a profit. CNC moved back up and I shorted some and at around 22.40ish I tried to push the price down with a lot of selling (this is a very low volume stock) but that appears to have been the low and quickly moved up when...
