Got the 1135 this morning for profit of $2,937.50. Running realized profit is $131,010.00. Also, near the close, bought 5 at 1105.00 and another 5 at 1110.00, to make the average 1107.50 being long 10 contracts over the weekend.

AGREED! The good old contrarian EliteTrader play.

Long 5 at 1123.25. Looking for 1135 tonight/tomorrow morning if possible. Limit order in. Will consider adding at 1115.

Time to buy everything and short Vale Resorts MTN then? Looks good to me gentlemen!

Yep, I know. Some poor sap would be the 2-offer who bought 1500 Dec contract.

Hello folks, Sorry I haven't been updating this lately. Been having family issues that I just finished taking care of. On the 40 Dec longs from 1236.00, I did get out on the 19th as I posted previously at 1250.00, where my limit order was, for a 14 point gain, or a $28,000 total gain...

What an interesting past few days! I haven't been caught up with the markets lately, due to a death in the family that I had to fly out to California for. Indexes have been pretty interesting and extremely volatile (as I am sure you all know). I didn't have a stop on the trades as I...

Long the 10 @ 1250.00 today, 10 @ 1240, and then added 20 at 1226.00 at the close. The average is 1235.50, which seems far away, but I am confident we will rally over the rest of the week to the 1260 level which is where I am planning to sell.

Won't be trading today, but have entered the following limit orders as targets for entries: (on ES) Short 10 @ 1293.50 Short 10 @ 1299.00 Short 10 @ 1304.00 Long 10 @ 1250.00 Long 10 @ 1240.00

Well, certainly does help! Check my journal (S&P, Dow and Nasdaq Position Trader) for past trades, including this one that I just closed out.

Well I certainly just made up for the loss!!! :D Just sold ES 1272 (15 contracts) and NQ 1810.25 (5 contracts) for profit of $33,997.50 on ES longs and $4,625.00 on the NQs. Glad I could profit off the bailout/Treasury FNM/FRE measures! This makes the running realized profit $100,072.50.

Whoa! Sorry to all the shorts out there (but glad I was long :D ). Hope you can make up the 28 ES points and 200 YM points as of yet.

I did get to add 5 at 1222.00 to make the average 1226.67 on 15 contracts. Sadly, to make up for yesterday's large loss, I didn't get to add any more. Currently ITM on the ES overnight long by about 13.50 points, or $10,185.00. Also ITM on the NQ long by 4.75 points, or $475.00 total.

Yes, first stop, but that was probably bound to happen sometime. I added 1259.00, 10 cars, to make average 1263.50 and then added 1254.00, 5 cars, to make average around 1261.50 and then stopped at 1244.50 after lunch. This is a $21,250.00 loss, bring the running realized profit to...

Just bought 10 contracts at 1268.00. Looking for 1275.00 today, limit order in. Planning to add at 1260, 1255, and then stop on close below 1250.

Sold the 10 at 1278.00 with the limit that was in since morning. Profit today is 8 points on 10 cars, or $4,000.00. Running realized is now $82,700.00.

Still actively trading hogs in the pit (although summer volume was not so great; so wasn't there that much). Usually have some hog spreads on too, but none on right now. Order to buy 10 at 1270.00 filled. Target is 1278 for today.

I have been keeping these trades in my floor clearing account (same account I daytrade lean hogs on the floor with) with RCG and it is fairly capitalized. I generally withdraw from it every week (salary) and right now it stands at around $300,000.00 and withdrawals usually keep it around that...

Got 5 more off at 1275.00 for profit of $4,500 and another 5 off at 1273.00 for profit of $5,000, or $9,500 total. Total running realized profit is now $78,700.00. Flat with no position. Might think about getting long around 1265~. Currently putting a limit to buy at 1270.00 to start, 10...

Thanks GermanTrader. Just opened up my platform to find my order to buy 10 was indeed filled at 1280.00 this evening. Profit of 13 points, or $6,500 total. Still short 10 from 1293.00 average and downside target on those remaining 10 are to have 5 off at 1275.00 and the last 5 off at...
