Not bad for me this morning, +$630. Bootcampers were about 50/50 "mixed" today....loser was HON (most of them have HON for their openings).... Back at it tomorrow... Don
2 fills / 3000 shares 2 longs / -15.00 - .75 / + .75 no skew... no feel so i cut it short...showed a max 485.00 profit on system and went straight south from there... system shows -925.00 loss as of now... blocked 10 of 86...
8 longs, 6 scratches, 2 small losses, -172 net Death by a thousand cuts today. The fills were holding up despite the market sliding, in which case I typically leave them alone and give them a chance to work, but it didn't work today. Could have played a couple a little better, but there was not much out there today. Above normal fills for me this week, but nothing to show for it.
Yipes, my mistake...I took AA off my new program, but used a prior version today (having the current one modified a bit)...and made money in 3 of 4, but got stuck in AA. Turned out to be flat today...+$16, LOL. with a $600 loss in AA. Glad to break even. Don
What's the difference between a loser and a winner? Oh...about 5 minutes. LOL Filled on TXN and MER for 1,000 shares each. Bailed on TXN for a small winner...MER a small loser. 5 minutes later they were at +$600.00.
4 fills / 7000 shares 3 short / 1 long / +260.00 - 1.15 / + .35% had system issues and my opg trade got mixed with my am basket... scratched ba & mo...automatically...couldn't stop the cover without the issues p&l would have been a minimum of 1500 - 2200... i am my own worse enemy...when am i gonna learn....
Don, just a quick question if you don't mind. How many boot camps per year? And out of those students who make it through how many are successful and stay long term with you? I always appreciate your openess on these boards and want to know mostly out of curiousity as I am just starting out trading with a purpouse!
Watch your T&S ticker. I have noticed that a lot of times you will see the opening print and then hardly any trades. But the specialist will be moving the Bid-Ask all over the place. I don't know if he is trying to scare sellers/buyers or is really trying to see where supply is. Anyways, I have made some good trades by not panicking when I see this.
