Walking the walk (Blotter Thread Continued)

Sammy,

Your numbers in the last month look great, it seems you keep your lot size pretty small, is there a reason you don't step up in size?
 
I finished the week on a good note. A very solid week for me, above the recent average.

This my position trade account, the day trade account was down 900 today on light volume, only a handful of trades.

Have a good weekend everyone.

Do you only trade ETF's(SPY, QQQ) or stocks like LU etc.. with low stock price as your volume is extremely high?
Still very impressive size though, good job, your broker should also be very happy w/ you:-)

What style of trading are you doing? Rebates? 1,2 mil shares? Damn, that's a lot!

it's not rebates dude, if you look carefully my gross it about 2X my net, that means I was paying everyone else to trade (including ecn's...)

mnx
 
Hi guys,

I opted to hit the golf course so nothing much for me but still enjoyed a decent week. Hope we all do as well next week. Guys, Les, Hydro, Dustin, mnx, Mike805, SammySOESa, and SWS, I really want to thank you all for helping me with this thread.

People put up some serious numbers here and brokers and other traders should take notice :-)

thanks. believe me, i'd love to start trading more manly positions, but my margin just won't allow it. my bread and butter stocks are in the $90-$120 range, and with an $85,000 retail account, i just can't size up as i'd like to. i'm pretty much forced to keep my positions under a total of $170,000 so i won't be forced to eat an EOD loss on a position that i may be bullish on long-term simply 'cuz it's temporarily in the red. and then, since i take home that $170K worth of long and short stock each night, the next day it's all subtracted from my $340,000 intraday BP again.

that's why i'm salivating for some bigtime prop leverage. as soon as i take my 7, i'ma scale up real nice. my style of trading should work whether i'm doing the measly 100 share lots, or 500 lots.
 
DT, I have enjoyed and appreciated your 2 blotter threads.

If it's not asking too much, I would appreciate a totally clear and honest statement one way or the other, as to whether you derive any benefit from TI's business, or not.

Or whether there is any connection at all, such as the biz is run by a friend of yours, etc..

I would like to be able to pay 100% attention to the comments you make about TI, but there is always this lingering worry about whether there's an ulterior motive or not.

thanks much, and please keep this thread going.

d9d,

I got the heads up about TI through someone here on Elite a while back. I just like the product since it makes my life so much easier. The links I have posted if you looked at them and looked at some of the history to compare with the blotter pictures I have put up you will see that about 90% of all of my trades come from TI. That said it is not a green light buy red light sell type of system. Similar to what Hydro uses, Whisper, TI just gives you a heads up and you have to still make trading sense out of it. For me it works. It may not suit the trading style of others. Just like I now only watch TV through my DVR I can't imagine going back to looking at commercials. That is how I feel about TI I can't imagine trying to figure out the stocks I need to look at by hand.
 
Quote from Hydroblunt:

I have Whisper, it has all that. I mainly use % gainers/losers mostly. Thats where JAS came from. 3 way trading opportunity, bottom pick, short, bottom pick. I scalp though cause the moves arent big enough anymore to compensate for the slippage. But the play of the day was DJO. Risky stock, though.

You can put up 20 filters if you want, it won't change much. My question is about your trades, for example what did you long/short and how long did you hold for? How much size are you taking? Where is your out? Where do you plan take your profit? Are overnights a regular thing for you?
I'm more concerned about the Naz stocks so that I can see a good approach to play with when I actually take the plunge.

Hi all,

I have been following this thread closely and am really impressed with the traders that are doing so well. I am trying to get a little feel for the tools you use. For scanners I see that Hydro uses Whisper and Diamond uses TI, those seem to be the main ones mentioned. I want to try them out. TI seems pretty easy, Hydro, how much does whisper cost per month and maybe you could post a picture of your set up like Diamond did, that would be great!! Where can I get a whisper demo?
