Dammit! You jinxed me! It would be nice to have a strong finish to the year with this strategy to make up for the lackluster Spring/Summer. We'll see how it goes...
4 fills / 7600 shares / net long 1200 2 long / 2 short / -228.00 - .45 / + .95 % blocked 15 of 87... really sloppy today...
7 fills / 14000 shares / net long 5200 5 long / 2 short / +872.00 - .5 / + 1.0% blocked only 4 of 87... EK bit me (340.00)... anybody have any luck with EK... out by 09:40:15 cst
-$225 yesterday, shoulda waited a bit longer...but today was good. +$950. I like starting a new month off with a good day. As soon as earnings season isover, I'm gearing up to 100 stocks, we'll see what happens (What could go wrong? LOL). Don
2 long losers for -140 Not my best effort today. Let a 22 cent winner turn into a loser while nursing a laggard, who would have let me out at slightly better than scratch if I wasn't so patient. Early S&P surge made me greedy for these longs, and I know better than that. 2 down days in a row after a nice streak. I'm blaming the Chiguy jinx...
I entered orders, and then cancelled them all today...something just didn't "smell right" - I know we're supposed to be completely objective, but with conflicting news reports, retail numbers, and all the rest, I bailed out. I know BBY and CC would have cost me $$. Back at it tomorrow. Don
3 fills / 6400 shares / net short 1600 2 short / 1 long / +22.00 - 1.05 / + .45% blocked 14 of 87... started trading with a new system today and had issues....just bailed as i was not sure what i had...probably for the best though...
You guys are on a winning streak & I'm on a no fills streak....7 days... Hope it continues for you & breaks for me. Been canceling a bunch on news each day, sometimes the whole sector like today all retailers....plus being extra cautious on the rest. Been burned so many times guess I play it too safe & been missing a few good ones. Let's see what tomorrow has in store.
