WOW!!!!!!!!! WHAT AN AMAZING DAY!!! Right from the get go I was in the zone. By 9:43 am I was up $100. I made a couple of trades after that and I just realized that I was HOT! I made 12 cents off of a short in Qwest today with a 1000 shares. I got that trade in because of my fellow traders. They called out, "Short Q!! Short Q!!" It was totally sweet! AND I totally blew away my best gross and net today.
There is so much more opportunity now that I'll be able to trade higher beta stocks. NT, LU, and CPN are my bread and butter, so I'll always scalp those stocks. Yesterday I was told that I can start watching, GLW, GTW, and EMC. Chart reading is a big thing here so I'm really just identifying support, resistance, entry points, and stops. By next week I'll be going into these stocks whenever an opportunity occurs.
It's a good thing I had a day like today. This week has been rough and I'm grateful that I was able to do well today. Just to think, back in October, I had no idea what I was doing.....
I made $705.50 and spent about $120 making it! I'm not including any credits that I got from BRUT or INET, so I probably spent less making it.
I had 29 buy executions, 23 sell executions, and 170,300 shares traded.
Tomorrow will be a better day!!!
