HPQ out 27.05 (around 3k got out higher >27.40) -> -2'000 US$

VVUS not looking too good either, but this one is far from over...
If it gets to 20.00ish, i will add shorts.

DAX Short looks great, put in a limit at 6742, might even go ahead and lower it further
 
>> Trade Update <<

VVUS closed short and long 21.35, new position +2600.
Stop dynamic price action dependand, right now 20.75ish
 
>> VVUS Update <<

I guess i do too much size, added a good chunk on that short sell off... but my order penetraded that book way to heavily...

>> VVUS Update <<

In scalping mode right now... will post overall results once i'm flat onh this one...
20 stop frenzy was classic...
tend to believe it might go lower <19.5, but not too sure
 
>> VVUS Close <<

Ok, long got stopped out, did some short on 20, part out very good, some more short around 20ish, again part out, and rest 20.06 stopped out.

Overall Result VVUS: -4'185 US$

Edit: Not too unhappy with the end result, 21.35 was a horrible point to switch the position...
But after all not a good trade to begin with..
 
>> Trade Open <<

VVUS long 4300@19.93, 20 looks more or less like equilibrium for the moment...
may add on renewed strength...
 
>> Trade Close <<

All VVUS closed on a scalping went wrong scenario.... hate this choppiness... somewhat overtraded.

Alright, done for the day.

Trade results attached, HPQ manually calculated (there was a longterm position mixing up the results).

In hindsight my stops were a bit too cautious on the US trading today... kind of due to a good profit before us open, and a "don't want to give it back" mentality...
Got out bad and on position turn, things even got worse.
VVUS with 186k might be too much size, with possible at least small scale market effect (as seen on a >0.1 slippage on 7k order).

So by trying to preserve a profit, i actually gave it away...


FDAX: +9'324 EUR = +12'410 US$
HPQ: approx. -3'000 US$
VVUS: -8'067 US$

Total (Day): +1'343 $

Coudn't resist VVUS for a short towards close trade, but only starting very low @18.90...
Closed a lot of it, rest still out there in a scale order (5758 pieces, limit right now 18.63).
Stop 18.78, its a narrow thing, and 5 min to go till close

Edit: moved stop to 18.97
