    Unfortunately just a tiny 2500, but I'll take it.

    Nice fill on the CERN, within a penny of the HOD

  4. ECLP sold for a loss, I made a mistake of getting too much size on that one (relative to volume - i thought it might trade more today), compounding the issue of the idea not working. MDRX still acts ok, running overall about breakeven for the day.

  5. Sold the mdrx for a (not so great) avg of 18.55, daily PnL about 6k

  7. Yep. My day was not the stuff dreams are made of but I'll take a non-losing day anytime.

    Agreed, eeked out a small profit today myself, always makes the weekend a little better to finish the week on a high note.

  9. Maybe not a day to base a movie on, but still 6,000 is a great payday, even given the position sizes and associated risk. Again, thanks for your opening your books for this journal.
