Struggled early then finally made a couple of nice trades only to give back most of it at the end. No shoes for the wife and kids this winter.

Maybe i should file this under Psychology but what a cluster F.

Was up $900 on 15 tix by 11 am.

buuuuuut, decided to "experiment" with pairs trading and tested some theories(hahaha)

Anyway I think I was bored and that I am addicted to trading(gambling) and couldnt turn off the computer...cause if I did I would think I wasnt "working"

And sometimes I think i, subconciously , lose money to teach myself a lesson for being stupid.

So after being down about 1500 I decided to wake up.

i dunno...i told you this should be in the Psy thread:D

Anyway, here is todays.

holding some aapl and tra

HAve a great weekend everyone!!!

What a day - I got KILLED early on in AAPL, no follow thru on early trends, at one point I was down 18K.

Hung in there...

Hung in there...

By 2 market time I've made about half of it back down 9K.

Thank you AAPL, thank you RIMM - strong up trend in the last hour saved my butt, finished +699.
