Terrible trading week so far. Down about 4.5 grand since last Friday !!! Part was a system failure, part was just the market moving into another...
I hope we get some action and volume in the next several weeks (next week may still suck cause of opex). This week was boring as hell !!!!!...
Almost a scratch week (up 431). Very little movement in my trading account this week. Tuesday was a good day (about the only good day this week)....

Thx syswiz, I appreciate your input. My biggest problem is that all my trading is already options based (all automated trading) :( My...
One question I always ask myself is my performance (trading that is ;-) ) and correlation to the S&P 500. You see my performance on a weekly basis...
My IB Sales Rep told me I know what I'm doing (http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=200655), I'm not sure he is right though...
Lucky trading week (up 1k1). I kicked the S&P 500's ass this week ;) I'm up and leading the pack while the S&P had quite a bad week. Now overall...
thx Emmet, I appreciate your comments. We'll stay in touch.
