Trader P/L 2010

Quote from sappjason:

No, no, no.... I only wish. That is my total year's Net P/L. I started this year trading with about $195K. This is how much I've made on that (nothing close to what you've done). So, I'm only up a little higher than 20% so far. I think you are up something crazy like 120% so far. YOU ARE KILLING IT!!!!! I'm just kind-a ho-humming along.

Oh, I see...

actually I am up ~134% this year, and 542% last year, which was an awesome year. :P

Lots of risk, though. And this is my 8th year trading...

+$347

Short the pullback from LH on POT @ 123.91, 1 tick below the failure bar; price dropped nicely and I split my initial stop in two and moved it down a bit, looking to take off half at the first pause in the drop, and bam, stopped out before I could get a click in edgewise.

Saw AMZN hitting the hi ticker like crazy and its recent weakness made me think a lot of shorts were in trouble and would fuel the move up. It pulled back a tiny bit from the latest high, then started up again and had that breakout look to it, so I got in @ 133.10 prior to the test of the high and exited @ 134.75, pullback from 3rd push up.

Had to leave very early and missed nearly the whole rest of the day, sadly.

Of course, my account is only worth 8000$ so...

A total disaster day. I was up $2000, lost everything in the afternoon, and then took a revenge trade that put me in the hole.

Day: -2828

Week: -2967
Month: -2326
Year: +3006

Tomorrow is another day!
 
+$4924. Got very lucky today. I was having a bad morning when my account was down over $1500. But, then as the market started to tank by mid-afternoon, my account took on a whole new outlook (and I'm not complaining).

I have a piece of remote monitoring software that I built that is constantly monitoring my ATS tracking it's position count, Net P/L, worst-case scenario, unrealized P/L, realized P/L, commissions, etc....

Anyway, I've attached one of the screens just to show that the beginning of my day sucked and then in the afternoon, how I got pretty lucky...
