Do any of you guys recall trading on April 4, 2000 ?
Biggest day ever
- Thread starter patbateman
- Start date
Not really, but just by looking at THIS:
...I know I had decent six-figure days on both April 4th and April 11th, 2000. God I miss the good 'ol days!
Edit: you can ignore the buy signal/sell signal snake-oil gibberish marring the chart (First one I found on the net). Just look at the bars. The range of the <b>day</b> is roughly equal to the range of <b>the entire year of 2005!</b>

I'm small potateos to you big hitters!
In my personal account.
Biggest = 3000
Worst= 2000
Honestly I can't believe the numbers you guys are throwing around in here!
I agree, some fantastic numbers here. I wish I would have started trading in 1998 instead of waiting til 2001, what kind of numbers would I be able to share?
Seems like you are doing well! Continued succes samson!

6 figures ? In a personal account ?
I remember April 4 like it yesterday. Dow move like 1000 points intraday and nas was like 600. Hell the q'smoved like 15 % intraday. I was down 8 grand intraday and just kept buying and finished up about 10k. But from that point on I started shorting tech and just holding because if the market could fall that much intraday then that meant to me something was really screwed up witht he dynamics and we were heading much lower.
