Down $ -2,030 for the week at my current net liquidation value... this includes my uco, gld, and vxx positions that are down and still open.

Such is trading. Good days and bad days. Good weeks and bad weeks, Good months bad months, good years, bad years. I think you get the point.

Biggest mistake this week.. being hell bent on catching an oil sell off. Being wrong on oil sell off and holding overnight.

Continueing to hold onto losing oil position.
This losing position has also caused me to reduce and no take other trades with good set ups.

You can always get back into trade... wether you are making money or losing.. sometimes just pulling the trigger and getting out is all you need to do.
Have a great weekend.
 
I almost never use stops to get out of a position. I use stops to enter positions. If you do not know your trade well enough to get yourself out of it on your own;then you shouldn't have done the trade in the first place. Using loss limit stops has never done me any good.. the market is too dynamic to always use a hard stop and people cannot process when or how to adjust the stop losses fast enough especially when under pressure of mounting losses. So I totally disagree with your assumption of use stops to harvest crops. if ti works for you though then great.

I am not happy with how this trade is going, but i just go tinto it this week... next week I migh tbe up 2500 on it..who knows.. I could have easily clicked the mouse button and hedged myself with a long CL or just exited the trade.. i did not get out becaseu i still believe that we have plenty of oil supply and that the prices will sell off rapidly very soon. If I am incorrect then I am more than willing to deal with the consequences.
 
I was very concerned all weekend about my UCO (oil) short. I do not actually have the best entry price! My intraday trades as usual are profitable and my holds are not.. I am still holding UCO short and i think oil will be down over a buck today. But even that large drop will not put me in the green.

Here are my closed trades from sunday night and this morning. I have more to trading to do today.. I will post end of day later.

I puked out of my 850 UCO shares today. I was a little nervous and it seems liek this oil will indeed spike higher.. brent was up all day and it is now the leader of energy.

Net $ -3,202 for the day.
I got out of the UCO right at the top.. best I could have done ws down about 1400 yesterday... I have cost myself roughly 800 bucks from trying to hedge this biatch! I am sticking to intraday stuff. If I hold overnight it will bevery small size!!!

anyway.. here are todays Trades.

I will nto be doing overnight trades. My record for the intra day stuff is pretty decent.. but the overnight large losses are killing me. Oh well at least you can see that I am sharing everythign that I am doing. I am not proud of this performance but it is what it is.. by next month I could be up 10K or down another 6K who knows!
