    On my real money account:

    I dumped all the latter 12000 TSCC at a loss of $150 or less, and closed XLA breakeven, and closed half of the SPDE at breakeven price too. Of course the initial 3000 TSCC still made me more than $600.

    After the initial $600 win on TSCC, I made a blunder to buy 6000 at 1.49, in a few minutes I knew I went over my head, but it was late. Then I bought 2nd 6000 at 1.42 to average out. The idea to long is OK, but the pricing level and timing are wrong for the buy at 1.49. It was then sliding down with a momentum, I should have bought after it stabilized. Still could not weed out all the bad impacts of emotions, this time it is complacency and arrogance. What makes it worse is that it used up all my buying power in the IRA, I have to wait, at its earliest, till tomorrow for cash to settle. Crap! I feel lucky at least I still have some profit left.:p

    Now my favorite part, the would-be commission savings assuming an IB account is more than $2500, since I count $30 for a round trip, and IB would be $8 for a round trip. So far 127 round trips have been traded.

    Never realized commission plays such a big role. Bigger than my profit, damn !:mad:
