  2. I "cut" MCD from the team as of this week. He'd been killing me this month, which made him unprofitable for the year. Granted, a big chunk of it was my own error on one trade, but even looking back on the year's stats showed I wasn't making much on him. It got to the point where I almost dreaded getting an OO fill in him, which is usually a good sign that I shouldn't have him in my list. What he did today was brutal. Must have been the WSJ article on Pershing Square's investment.

    Today 4 long, 1 short, 4 wins, +257

    mess up in my xl somewhere sending orders using wrong limit prices. Very costly: 400 in commission and about 300 loss for a loss of ove 700 USD.

  8. Added more stocks, "willy-nilly" - 6 fills, 4 winners, 2 losers (stupid DIS)...+$240, shoulda been a lot more.....I will "refine" a bit....I like only 3 or 4 fills (not that I can't handle it, just tough with "new" stocks...don't know how they trade yet).

    Anyway, have a great weekend everyone.....
