Trader P/L 2009

Let me be the first to post an empty blotter. That's just the way it goes sometimes when you run an API on slow days. So the good news is that I'm not pushing a strat beyong it's limits when it's slow.

But the bad news is that my gut is telling me there is much more growth which should be occurring, but isn't being realized.

I've found that it's very easy to become complacent when you're automated, and as I think someone on "The Deadliest Catch" said the other night, "Complacency = Death". And I don't doubt it a bit.

Simply put, there are more things I could be doing. Need to start doing them.

Sorry for the empty blotter, but I wanted to make these thoughts public, and to be able to come back and look at this post on occasion.

Sincerely, a good, safe weekend to all.

Well the day didn't start off too good when I thought I was buying F but was really buying GM. Don't even ask how that's possible, just trust me it is, if you're stupid. Was looking at the F chart and it looked good so I kept soaking it up.

Realized my error when it started to run my ass over. Was about -36k after that fiasco. Once again had to roll up the sleeves and get to work.

Nearly made it to Greenland but was denied.

Have a good long weekend boys and girls.

I love being up good in the morning, then shamefully handing it all right back :mad:

I got most of it back, but not in the green.
Where's the volume?
