So this great day of yours is a fluke?

ive been trading for 10 yrs and getting my teeth kicked in. i finally got a shot at proving to myself this can be done. basically did some size and held on short. :)

Hey, congrats on that 96k day buddy. If you shorted the morning, and just HELD all day, it was a beauty. The market caught me completely off guard. I finished -3100, but I'll gladly take it, since Ive had a great run so far!

There's nothing better than to witness stocks tank as if there's no bottom ;) Panic selling is awesome.

Have a great weekend all.

Joe, GREAT JOB! a 43k day and a 96k day - days like this are inspirations to crappy traders like myself!

I'll start back again on monday....
 
I've been lurking here for several years. and im a bit uncomfortable with the attention positive or neg. but since i had to open my big mouth, i feel that i owe something back. imo today was'nt a fluke it could've went badly, but I've spent a lot of years studying my psyche, trading and looking at the market and got sick of sayin to myself ,"well if i woulda just held tight,done this or that etc,etc id be a millionaire." I traded at the cbot in the dow and saw guys next to me make millions if not hundreds of thousands and I basically blew out in 2000.

I know that some people dont like him, but I just did woodies ZLR's today, only. I've been studing and testing his stuff for the past 6-7 months. this shit works in most market conditions. its not the grail, but on a day like today it feels damn close.

sorry to get ot.
best of luck to everyone!

A good day for a change, I came in long and got whipped around until I saw what was happening and reversed to the short side. +6396 and I'm still short over the weekend, hopefully we will get an opening down draft and I'll cover and see where we go. Good luck everyone! JP

Gotta admit, the ZLR worked some magic today! I don't use it but I pulled it up on my Trademaven to check it out. If only it worked that well everyday! It'll kill you in the usual choppy markets though. My opinion only.
 
Well, the market humbled me today. I was starting to get the feeling of walking on water with a P&L of 14K in 2 weeks, if it wasn't for GOOG options that saved my butt a little bit, it would've been very very ugly.

-$3000 today. Made about $2600 on GOOG options. So it was almost a -$5600 day without the GOOG options.

I think I'll only post my P&L when I have exciting days like these.
