Trader P/L 2010

+$828
Pre-market gap down, but not a whole lot, so I figured the crowd might see a buyable dip here, and POT and AAPL appeared to be on sale.
Long small POT @ 119.39 when price found round number support right on the 20-day EMA. Sold @ 120.40, pb from falling 20-bar EMA on 3-min.
Long small AAPL, opening range b/o (3-min chart) @ 221.21. Sold @ 223.67 cuz I wanted that profit and I wanted it now.
Confirmed counter-trend short ESRX @ 102.66, f/u candle left a LH. Trailed stop a bit close and taken out too soon @ 102.43. After trading AAPL and POT, and simming CL for weeks, ESRX action felt like watching paint dry and I wasnât able to shift gears and trade it properly. Very disappointing because it eventually fell below the price I initially targeted and I had 4 lots.
I missed a very nice rally off POTâs failure to retest the LOD because I was extremely busy not trading CL. See, I decided over the weekend I would no longer sim trade CL, it would be live trades or no trades. So in a clever attempt to avoid trading it live, I traded stocks, then after that I stared at CL and thought about trading it at least 5 different times. Schiz said I have no balls. When he said that I came within a hair of putting on a position, but the price action was annoying the crap out of me by then.
Played with POT & AAPL during my âno tradeâ time, eking out next to nothing and mainly giving IB commish, so I dragged myself away from the PC and when I returned near the close I was too protective of my profits to trade.

Quote from osamberg:
nysetrader123 old name is nysekiller123???
man you are total fake))
Osamberg,
I do remember NYSEKILLER123 and he was a fake. Rearden Metal did a great piece of investigative work to busted him. I have been on elite trader long before that clown came around.
These numbers really are not even that big and I have better things to do than to sit around fabricating blotters. Anyway, if it helps to motivate those of you who are just getting started then I guess it doesn't make a difference.
My blotter for Friday was: + $118K plus I carried 140 Mini Russell and 4 Nasdaq mini short and I covered on Sunday afternoon around 7:00pm for another $56K
