Weinstein Trading and Fading

Last night after I came home I saw that IDCC gaped up on a press release. So I made a point to get to the office early so I would be able to see all the premarket activity. I made one more sale of IDCC at 29.00 and then waited for it to fall. During the day I traded it back and forth to get a better cost basis. - 1739

I signed up for Covestor.com and as a test I bought 200 shares more of LVS @ 4.14. Still trying to figure out how that works. Now I have a total of 4200 shares. Still also long GE that is covered by Dec 16 calls.

Firstly, Let me give thanks to all the men and women in our armed forces that stand a watch and serve our country so that we may be with our families and loved ones on Thanksgiving day !!!

Day before Thanksgiving and I am actually looking forward to a long weekend. Will give me a chance to get some other work caught up including some posts that are in an unpublished status.

I signed up for Covestor to keep track of my trades so hopefully I will be able to work my way up that standings list there.

LVS is moving up for a third day as I start out this thread. I put an offer to sell the DEC 7.5 calls for 40 cents but they have not been lifted yet.

First trade today was FNF which setup itself in a perfect pattern for my signal. Was a textbook short for me and I added extra size as I had a very high confidence level. + 1748

Fast scalp with DE + 161

While still in the FNF trade I received my second signal of the day which was actually a combination of two signals which again gave a high level of confidence. + 856

My next trade of the day was a little on the late side so I started out walking slow. SWN had a strong move up after about 1:30 CST. I traded and scalped it until about 15 mins before the close + 210

I will be watching for SWN gaping up on Friday for a fast short.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone !

I met with the folks over at tradestation at the Traders Expo and told them about a problem I have been having for the last several months with the charts freezing. They gave me plenty of time and tried to help me out but when none of the ideas that they offered had not been already done they said they would have a top level tech contact me. All I needed to do was send an email to my contact from the show and he would follow up.

I also had some general questions about the platform and they were all answered very professionally.

I came back in the office on Monday this week and sent an email to the contact. On Tuesday the tech called and left a message for me. I planned on calling back on Wednesday afternoon when the market was slower. The tech then called me back another time on Wednesday before I returned his first call.

We went through some settings in Tradestation and also looked at my computer settings. The tech was courteous, intelligent and knew what he was doing. At the end of the call he also made a point to give me his direct email address in case I had any more issues.

I have had no negative support issues with Tradestation in the past. I will say that in a world of dealing with people that barely know what they are doing and make it clear they don’t really care about you and that they are only going to follow a ‘procedure’ that doesn’t include YOUR problem dealing with Tradestation was a very welcome change.

I have said many times that Tradestation support is really good and today I feel that is the case more strongly than ever.
 
Day after Thanksgiving and nothing really is popping up on my screen. I was able to short some SWN but due to errors in order execution (from me) I didn’t make as much as I would have liked to.

My holdings in GE, LVS, and RICK all seem to be performing well today.

LOL.

You forgot the ending to your story. Did the tech fix the problem?

Gotta work on your story telling skills.
 
Bob - since your posting your daily, weekly, and monthly P/L --- if you don't mind me asking, how much are you up for the year?

JB3, are you sure its not YOU who needs to work on your mind reading skills??? LOL

No, problem not solved but so far the tech response has been positive. I am as of this post down again with TS.

TS went down yesterday into the close and today about 30 mins before the close.

I sent an email to the tech guy and hopefully he will get back to me shortly

Hello Aeliodon,

I am up a little more than 30% for the year. LEH cut my profits by more than half.
 
Today was a much busier day than Monday. Not only did I trade a lot more stocks and shares but even was able to watch oil fall today more than $100 off its peak.

I traded stocks that I are against the ET rules to talk about so check out my blog for comments on the day if you want.
