Just got back to my computer and updating my Executions and P&L. I had to leave my computer for a while so I phoned in a mkt at close order on QCOM since I was long and refuse to take home longs overnight in this market/war. I'm glad I did... I might short after hours and carry overnight off of INTC. This market is going to get hit hard early tomorrow. Look for a dip and dead cat bounce into the morning and then it's anyones guess.

Still short 20 ES's not NQ's. I'm making some great cash on that play.

Cnote, do you use bullets or some other device to short, or wait for the uptick?

The MO trade -- :eek:

I do use bullets once in awhile.

 

[FasterPussycat]

your QCOM post:

"Long 2K QCOM @ 30.86 (swing)"


now you post:

"I had to leave my computer for a while so I phoned in a mkt at close order on QCOM since I was long and refuse to take home longs overnight in this market/war.'

how do you define a "swing trade" if not an overnight trade?

I never planned on swing trading any longs, looks like I inadvertently typed (swing) when posting my trade since I was hurrying to get out of the office. Not sure. I've stated in the past that I will not take longs overnight, only shorts and I'm cautious at that. My attention is not always at it's best when I'm typing my plays on this board. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[FasterPussycat]

Ok. thanks for the clarification. i am just beginning to appreciate the distraction of posting trades here in real time.

Holy smokes! You're taking 3000 share positions in klac. That's pretty impressive. Do take them all at once? Given the time of those trades, there's quite a bit of liquidity, still, 3000 shares is NICE.
