Shitty day. I made more over night sleeping than today during RTH. My fault, I was busy doing other things (my bro's b-day is today). O well..... $400 at the end is not a tragedy. There is always Wed.

+$905

There was discussion today about knowledge and skill. I believe I have enough knowledge to be a great trader. I have no idea how to solve the skill part of the equation :eek:

Holding HOTT swing short @ 8.60, CECO short @ 21.20, and my pesky IDCC short @ 30.90.

(Hermit, rockin!)

They got me today. I was up 3k, in the morning. Missed my out from a stuck quote. Cost me 1000. Then I threw another 600 away, trading normally. Then, my fear of another stuck quote caused me to hit out early, losing $400 instead of making $800. Then, one big play came up, I said F it, put out a ton of stock, they took me on everything, my risk was $2500, my reward $7500. Unfortunately, the reward didn't pan out. According to the time and sales, I got my out by the hair of my chinny chin chin... I was THE LAST PRINT... the slip would have been an abhorrent monstrosity of at least another $3k, so I'm glad I got the out, given the slow quotes after FED.

Considering my open p/l showed me down -22k in the pre market today, I guess I feel OK about the day. I'm a major moron. I started shorting a stock that seemed to be up way too much, irrationally, and that I saw a pattern in for shorting - a pattern that becomes irrelevant once news is a factor. I didn't check that the stock had reported earnings. I ended up getting out after holding it against me 22k for a 3k loss, only to watch it 10 minutes later go 15k in my direction. Regardless, I could have blown this month + last month, maybe even the month before, ALL FROM NOT DOING MY HOMEOWRK ON SEEING WHO REPORTS.

So I think, as of today, I overtake stock777, trader_zones, stocktrader, bullz_n_bears, and c-kid/cold/jasonn/etc. as the resident ET MORON!

Not too much damage. But gave away all profits during the FOMC announcement.
Stubborn!
