pretty happy, as this is a new record for me (too bad it's still only about 1/2 what my record loss is).

traded well last night and then again for the first 90 minutes today. then my body simply ran out of steam and i needed some sleep. was to be a 90 minute refresher- just woke up now, so i missed most of the day.

so... left wondering what might have been, but, like i said, pretty happy nonetheless... !

IB blotter messed up a bit again due to forex trading (like yesterday). so, blotter actually understates my actual gain, as i made $4293 more than it says. so, topped 25m for the first time! +25,406

+135.8K on 746k shs. been at this game, full time since 2001 and like lescor before me, finally hit the 7 figure year with today's results. been my only goal, as a trader which i never thought possible. honestly, thanks to this thread, the motivation it has provided, and some of the friendships i have developed here at ET, it all came possible. i ll take it, that is the removal of the short ban, tomorrow. :)
all the best, trading!

No trades yesterday. Today was +2049, could've been higher by about $200 but got the "order limit out of range", order rejected. It seems to be a fixed value, not tied to volatility...CME/GLOBEX - duh. Still red for the week.

almost committed suicide this morning over dumping overnite fertilizers/potash premkt at a huge loss. would've made well over 20K if I just held. I actually held these losers for 2 days and was waiting for a squeeze. wasn't man enought to hold thru the tankage premkt(thx to MON news). I sold out on MON at 67.00 and POT at 89.00. :mad:

on the bright side. made it all back and more on JPM. got crushed in gold. overall, a big swing day.

net +4500 ish
