Would you please tell us your account size? 3K loss for a $1M account is nothing. $50K profit for a $100K account is huge. Big or small profit/loss are all irrelevant without knowing the account size.
~500k. If it drops to ~400 I deposit more (or if I'm over leveraged and need to deposit more for margin), if it goes to 600 I take money out. Half @ IB, half @ TD, both are portfolio margin.
Thank you very much for the reply. For that account size, $50k loss or gain is normal. Wish you the best luck. I found it is very hard to trade in last 3 months. Not sure anyone has the same feeling.
You have over $1m in your trading accounts. Take a break, invest in real estate. Or just live off your capital, I mean how logn do you want to live .....? Most people on the planet an only dream of such wealth.
