Disappointing day. One big loss in silver took away all of the gains in my bearish positions. Oh, well. Looks like the market wants to go up...
Short answer: the "news" was already discounted in the price and the Fed didn't go beyond the expectations. Still, I expect prices to go up and...

You've been very lucky. Prepare yourself for losses. That's the way the market seems to work :( Why do you think you'll keep making money....
I ran out of luck today. Tomorrow is again looking very bearish for my systems. We'll see how that will work out. I bought UUPT as partly a...
Sure as long as you do it every year for the next 10+ years. Otherwise the odds are still not that great.
Ok day considering I was on the wrong side of the market. AAPL saved the day. AAPL 10 10 529.82 541.388 0.00 115.67 0.00 0.00 115.67 BAL...
It reminded me going long some stock in 2007 that was going to be acquired in about a month at 5% above the current market price. I think I lost...
I expected a flat day but somehow came out ahead. Started a discretionary position in AAPL. I might buy 10 more at 500. The market seems too...
I am seeing a penny or two slippage but not every time. Don't try simply buying on the open with an overnight order though. IB will replace it...
I'll go out on a limb and say that this will probably be a losing trade considering the "cliff" and current overall complacency in the market.
Someone asked where I trade. I was just joking about downtown Boston - someone in the forum seems to make a killing there every day. I trade a...
You guys realize that people who've been making a killing in XIV/ZIV are just lucky that nothing "bad" has happened. It's like buying oil in early...
No free lunch. This page says the average spread is 1.79%: https://www.jemstep.com/etfs/ZIV-VelShs-DlyInv-VIX-MT-ETN-ETF vs 0.09% for XIV:...
Thanks for the tip! Looks safer than XIV. Now we just need some volume. Hm, somehow shorting VXZ doesn't work as well even though both are...
Not a bad day at all even if my PnLs are not nearly as exciting as some other people's here :) I closed most of my longs at the open right...
Alas I wasn't trading from downtown Boston today. I finished slightly up like the market despite the carnage in gold miners and Nasdaq. BAL...
Not a good day overall. Gold keeps falling. On top of that IB canceled my MOO order for TMF. They didn't do it, ARCA did but IB put a "bad" limit...
Pretty good day, considering I was going to buy TQQQ and NUGT at the open but overestimated how much cash I had so IB canceled those two orders...
Flat day. Short oil, long gold was the wrong strategy today. Hopefully, AMSC won't gap down huge on Monday like it did on my last trade. AMSC...
