I know a lot of you must have made tons today. Havent seen a day like this in a lonnngggg time, brought back memories. So lets hear it, how much did you make (or lose)? Fwiw I did not trade, though holdings lost @ 6%.
I'm not a day trader, since I have a day gig, but I got stopped out on a long for a loss, but my bearish position gained back much more than the loss. Haven't taken profit yet.
18 points on the ES...and looking for 1 last trade before the close.. make it 21.5 now... doh...gave some back, then beat the buzzer after...19 points for the day. DAMN
I am a daytrader but trade only on certain days. I will always be in cash at the end of the day. I did not trade today. Therefore, no gain and no loss. However, tomorrow is one of my trading days. I am a little scared but my plan calls for it - so I'll go for it. I do know what the maximum loss can be for me. So I guess tomorrow will be alright.
both happy and sad Had a boatload of IWM puts Sold 'em all early this morning... could have had a career day if I had held longer. but still happy to make a profit. With Bernanke speaking tomorrow, who knows?
I would have said the same if I lost...well, maybe not THAT much but still. Days like these don't come along very often and those who can take advantage of them are all set.
