+$647

Had 3 trades stopped b/e, 2 of them having shown $180 profit before reversing and almost decided to become a scalper, but stayed the course and finally caught the runner

Seems volatility has had its funeral.

PS. what's with all these "look at my best day" posters - this is a marathon, not a sprint. If we all post only our greatest days then it leaves a false impression of incredible success.

0916: -$80.

Nasty ending as expected from an options expiration friday.

0917: +$386.
------------
Week: -$152.

 

[NoDoji]

+$648

Only two early trades and I thought for sure both were going to reverse and stop me out b/e and neither of them did

This will be my last P/L post, even when I have my big 5-figure up days, which I have no doubt will sooner rather than later.

Also, I agree that those who drop in once and post a "best day" should post at least their next 2 week's trades

Good weekend and good trading to all!

 

[thespecialist]

the bulk of today was from holding some unrealized profit overnight. added 1700 or so this morning for a total of ~6k.

Hey, NoDoji, I've enjoyed coming here and seeing how you're doing. You've kind of become my beacon of hope. I'm glad to see you doing so great. I will be thrilled if I get anywhere near doing what you're doing in a couple of years. Would love to see you post when you reach those 5-figure days!
