8 longs, 6 scratches, 2 small losses, -172 net
Death by a thousand cuts today. The fills were holding up despite the market sliding, in which case I typically leave them alone and give them a chance to work, but it didn't work today.
Could have played a couple a little better, but there was not much out there today. Above normal fills for me this week, but nothing to show for it.

Yipes, my mistake...I took AA off my new program, but used a prior version today (having the current one modified a bit)...and made money in 3 of 4, but got stuck in AA. Turned out to be flat today...+$16, LOL. with a $600 loss in AA. Glad to break even.

Don, just a quick question if you don't mind. How many boot camps per year? And out of those students who make it through how many are successful and stay long term with you?
I always appreciate your openess on these boards and want to know mostly out of curiousity as I am just starting out trading with a purpouse!

Sorry to be so spotty wth my openings postings, I have a pretty big boot camp this time (26)...... but this week, $480 yesterday, $160 today for me.
But....even though the bootcampers are well above the average of 75% win loss, today was the first 100% that I remember having. Flat opening, 16 winners, 2 break evens, 8 no fills (to be expected on a flat opening like today)....I know they read this, so "good job" everyone!!

Quote from comfut:
What's the difference between a loser and a winner?
Oh...about 5 minutes. LOL
Filled on TXN and MER for 1,000 shares each.
Bailed on TXN for a small winner...MER a small loser.
5 minutes later they were at +$600.00.
Watch your T&S ticker. I have noticed that a lot of times you will see the opening print and then hardly any trades. But the specialist will be moving the Bid-Ask all over the place. I don't know if he is trying to scare sellers/buyers or is really trying to see where supply is. Anyways, I have made some good trades by not panicking when I see this.
