Closed out UAUA. several lessons learned with this one. Including don't leave early on Friday unless your covered UAUA is covered.
only 4 of the 39 options where lifted and the other 35 were supposed to be 12.50 jun calls. Needless to say that mistake was costly.
Closed out of ZOLT GTI...
Shorted another MMR @ 33.74
now 2259 @ 34.30
side note, the order was for 200 shares and I used ISE to route the order. IB charged me 14 cents total for the order.
Hello Greg,
no relation to Mark W.
Its my name. I used it to keep myself focused and to give one more reason to not enter into 'stupid' trades as it was my name on the line.
I found that owning UAUA while perhaps was at a low was not worth anymore risk. I closed out all of UAUA except 2 that are covered with 4 15 Jun calls. took about -13K hit on that. I will add in the revenue if any from the calls when i sell or at exp. Oil just hit another high and with the...
These types of 'protests' are usually bought and paid for by some interest group. whether its another fast food company or some local govt office.
People in China don't get out of bed over things like this without a motive. They are way to busy trying to figure out how to make money...

This was my Friday
left Early on Friday to go up north with the Family so I am adding in my PnL for friday now.
Closed out Friday at a small loss as reported by IB.
I had 45 May 15 UAUA calls expire on Friday but it doesnt get reported in the profit so I will manually add it in on monday.
Frustrating day. Tried to short MMR and Zolt but IB did not have any. Both would have made great shorts during the open.
I was able to short for day trades:
TSL + 1005
FRO + 555
UAUA broke down hard today. started out with 39 and 4 of them covered with jun 15 calls. Sure wish I...

I don't think most of the congress, the senate, or the white house could remain in office if they had to undergo a brain scan that actually showed gray matter to scan......
Even those that could pass probably couldn't pass econ 101....

I use IB and have the unbundled rate.
I totally agree with the above poster. IB TWS reporting is about as good as having my four year old figure it out.
Why something as simple and meaningful as the PnL and other stats on the TWS does not work correctly and hasnt for over a year is...
Added to my MMR short with options as IB didnt have any stock to short.
Now S 15 may 35 puts which i plan to exercise. also still have the 359 shares short. This trade is in the black as of today with an average of 2.40 for the puts and 32.03 for the short stock
Only one day trade

Currently only trade us stocks, options and once in a while when I feel like i have too much money in my account I trade the ES
I have been day trading by fading fear and greed. so far fading fear has been painful. fading greed has made some money.
I just started swing trading and only...
