traded like an idiot today, was buying ford all day and scratching it ended up 1100 gross - 600 net just churning shares all day long, the SEC, and the gateways are gonna love me today
+32,000$. Intel + Bangbus (rmbs). Very happy. (lucky on rmbs)
I wasn't going to post anymore, but here's a final going away present. I've included execution reports for you kiddies to enjoy in the attachment.
I really don't trade these guys directly, they usually don't have enough liquidity to overcome the spread, but today, IYR wasn't too bad, ICF spreads were horrid, but I still managed.
. Plenty of one way movement is what created the reversal opportunities.
It's been a very rough month here, all in all, been trading just to cover the short side accounts losses. Net net +2ish% this month so far?
. That takes the cake for a tie for worst month outta 36-40 months, at least. Today was like last fall.
Started up 2 new program trades yesterday, working on more...Gotta keep up with EchoPatrick! So, I'll be busy on those, & not posting.
Attachment is just volitilty trades, entirely discretionary -not part of my systems....so enjoy, for once I can actually post them.
Add 4300 to the P/L shown (MTM) across all accounts, for the final figure....sad, cause that's still 8k off the top--like everyday this month. Still a nice day.
Cheers, P/L traders!

PS-Yesterday was +3.8k.......which was 4300 off the top, again---getting tired of that!

I thought I'd share my story from yesterday since it's a fun one.
(sorry for no blotter...)
Made 15k on a 2$ move on TXN, lost it all when I got caught at the top with waaaay too many shares... finished down 225 net. (+1400 gross).
whoops! Hopefully there are similar opportunities today...
mnx

shuttin her down for the day cause i covered my losses from yesturday and that is a sweet way to stroll into the weekend.......not that im unhappy with today but a little disappointed with myself seeings how i knew INTC was gonna drop all day but i still couldnt manage to hold onto my short shares for more than 3-4 cent winners even though i am more than capable of takin 10 cent losers.........one day i might become a decent trader......hopefully...
I'm just gonna call it a week. I didn't lose any money this week, but I wouldn't call it a profit. I need to get the profits on my winning days up.
+15.19
11,200
+15.19
11,200
i guess i'm just plugging along. any suggestions on how i can mentally get myself to hold postions for longer then the usually 15 sec. i could triple my net if i could just learn how to do that.
