Why thank you for helping out, Mike, and I'm sure that you will send all the traders to Bright Trading when they are able to trade well. Why not start a journal as well, and we can "co-op" strategies for the ET'ers? Send me a PM with the new thread. All the best! Don
snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory... 4 fills 1 short / 3 long -72.00 p&l went positive at 8:42 and is still going
My strategy summary told me to BUY this morning, Filled on 25 longs and about 6 shorts, then they started to move against me, at my worst point I was only down about 3k, which wasn't too bad considering how much stock I had long and the market wasn't cooperating, but then the market turned, and my positions too. Ended up +1600 on the day, with just a handful of positions left. Strategy said to continue to hold so I followed my strategy. I wish I would have been a little more aggressive with some of my losers, I could have had a great trading day. Good trading to all! Mike
