Month is over and looking forward to September I took another beating today and as a result I took the rest of the day off. SVA went much higher than I was willing to hang on for so I closed out and called it a day - 15642 I also closed out of my covered GE because I wanted to flatten...

- 15807 Screwed up SVA in the open as I am trying to do to many things at once. Its been a rough six weeks and I will be cutting back further on my trading for a while.

Not much of a day today I found another mistake from yesterday with SPR after I went home. When I went to see how OSK was doing in aftermarket trading I found out I was the proud owner of SPR from a bid that must have been hit. After getting done with the opening gap trades I went to reading...

only traded AIG today + 105 (small size) but closed out OSK which was a valid trade but didn't work out - 8228

Today started out pretty slow and good Basically all was fine with a few hundred in gains. I traded AIG gap in the opening and that worked out fine but I also left some offers on with AIG that I forgot about and was not visible on the screen. AIG moved up strongly and I did have a chance to...

stupid mistakes for the most part and a bad trade made for a difficult afternoon - 29272

Hello QBall, Thanks for posting but I am unsure what your question is. I believe your asking me my thoughts if IT will continue to go higher. I would love to be able to have an opinion on it and if I did I would be willing to share it. I am not very good at looking at a stock and...

Today started out pretty fast then quickly slowed down and I did not have any trades in the afternoon. AIG and HGSI were fun to watch today though. As I write this after the closing bell AIG is still making new highs of the day. GRMN gave me my only signal today and I traded very small in...

Didn't get the big down move with HGSI but it was my biggest gainer today. + 1305

Today started out with the usual gap up trades. I traded several gap ups and they worked out well. I also once again kept my trading size much smaller than last month and I had some clean setups which made for a stress free profitable day with very little pain at any point. The Treasury is...

+ 4073 on a pretty good day. low volume and no wammies

Today started out pretty good and stayed that way. I would have liked to have made a larger gain with BCRX as I ended up taking a stop loss to protect the small gains I had and not allow a winner to turn into a loser. BCRX actually hit the profit target by the book but my bids to cover where...

I had a pretty decent day and was happy with the way I traded. + 1553

In its current form its not IF there are exceptions its right there in the proposal. I would point everyone to read Section B page 9 where the exceptions begin (I actually suggest people read the whole thing so you can be informed directly) "In the Proposal, the proposed modified uptick...

Good article, thanks for posting Respectfully, RW

I find it interesting that there are traders that have posted that not only are they not against the SEC proposal but would actually be in favor of it. (I am not trying to attack anyone. I do think that perhaps some of the opinions where shot from the hip and by people who may not do a lot of...

One of the slowest days in terms of volume for me I have cut back on trade size as well as increase the spread between the fades. This is based on what I think is very important when managing risk. If I go back positive for the month I will review the size again at the start of next month. I...

Pretty good day after a challenging week. I have PEP options that I am short that expire today worthless so I am including that with my gains + 246 + 854

Today started out with some nice gaps that I traded Both TECD and DKS worked out well for me at the open. when I covered those two trades I thought today would be a really good day. I received a short for AIG but due to a combination of being overly aggressive at a point I thought it was...

I am still working towards being a better trader. - 6220
