it's a sick game market makers play. it is almost unfair since they see more then we can see.
fridays are a great day for them with very low volume. they just bang stops all day long and when they are done, they bang the stops on the other side. the trick is to figure out when they are done.
not doubting your ability to trade or questioning your PL but i also trade through IB. when i bring up trade log summary my net total and net incl. comm is not my realized PL. i added a column under settings called realized PL and that shows the right number.
am i missing something :confused:
not even sure why i tried trading a move like this on a Friday going into a holiday weekend. imo, market makers are baiting shorts right now to take this thing above june 16 high.
flipping short around 1340. delta is now negative, slightly short. getting back to day trading contract tomorrow but will continue with options on swing trading. seems to be working for me.
still here just not posting trades anymore. fwiw, i flipped to positive delta throughout the day yesterday, albeit small delta, it is slightlly long.
will manage intraday when i get back from vacation. good luck today all.
good point ammo. i wish posters would keep the reason why this thread was created: share ideas and post trades is my understanding. unfortunately emotions are all part of trading no matter what anybody says which turn into attacks and retaliation.
i certainly don't mind constructive...
