If you didnt make money today

Quote from danoXP:

Did not make money today. Market blew through 3 additional levels of stops on my US equity index short positions. One stop level on the NDX right before 4pm and close to the day high (and yes, it was if they knew it was sitting there and reached up and grabbed it ;) ) . Was painful to watch, but I made myself sit on my hands ;)

Did not make money yesterday either. Market grabbed the first of 4 levels of stops.

... almost lost more money in the last 2 trading days than was made in the previous 2 trading days. But, thanx to my stops, I have a slight profit (over the last 4 trading days).

Fortunately, the last time this happened (two weeks ago), the market blew through my stops (entries) on the way down again and reapplied the full short position over the next 2 day period.




Maybe I was the guy on the other side of your trades? Oh well ... which fast food restaurants are the most fun to work at?

What....wait a minute...you actually are a trader and lost money????

How dare you post on ET that you lost money....no good trader in his right mind would do something like that.....


kidding man.....funny thing is....in a yrs time from now you will still be trading....and this bozo will be manning the fry-o-lator at burger king asking his manager if he can have a 30 min break so he can go in the back and watch Mad Money.....
 
look at the bright side. you don't need to de-program the floor's bad habits.
Quote from dowman2006:

No. Never traded on then floor. Wish I had though. Besides the great stories of the shit that went on down there, I learned a lot from my buddies who traded in the pits. Although floor trading is very different then screen based trading at times, trading is trading. Felt like I missed out on great experience. Always been off the floor.

I'm not too concerned, guys like you end up pissing away everything they made anyways. Its not a matter of if, but when.

By the way, saw you posted in Nov of 2005 that you were paper trading and just about to go live. I'm sure you've made it in this business if youve been trading a whole 8 months live. You might as well buy a Bentley and a nice pad in the Hamptons :D


Quote from dafishman:

Please quit trading and the fast food places need you...Actually the last 2 days have been unreal for a trader. I am on cloud 72 and I hope I never come back down! I made more in the last 2 days then the average joe working all year does! God I love this market!

I was mostly a local at the CBOT in the Bonds. I did trade Euro's for a couple of years and every now and then would trade in the currencies or S&P's. Not moving into the Spoo's is my greatest regret.....

If you were in the currencies we defintley know some of the same people

Go short GOOG when it starts to trend down.
Stock is so insanely overvalued and the hype is so huge, that it is due for a meltdown.

That is my piece of advice.....Plus, the market makers love wiping out the call options set at 390, 400 etc.

I see this short term going down and longer term some major click fraud announcement will send it plunging dramatically. Anyone explain a valuation of over $100 billion on this one?

I have never read so much BS hype on a stock since the internet boom in the late 1990s and we all know how that ended.
 
Now I know the mkt has changed, 2 sloppy up days and the "you suck if you didn't make money crowd" come out of the closet. Thanks boys, spoo 1250 sold to you!
