    Unfortunately, trading on a sim and real live trading generally does not present the same results.

    Over 18.5K on the demo account and after hours demo profit of 16.5K for the day. The trend was clear today.

  4. I took a 16K loss in 2009 and booked it.

    but I made it all back up and then some instead of waiting and potentially big risk. now I am doing very well. but I learned valuable lessons

    at least now I have 16K loss for taxes :) to offset profits.

  5. Thanks, it is certainly appreciated of your being genuine with the situation. Definitely a great learning experience regarding the psychology of trading.

    Yesterday was narrow range on the SPY, today seems wider, and if the open was indeed a classic "exhaustion gap", then you will score by holding for your target.

    Pretty good trading to only be down $15k. Did you trade some back and forth? At one time you looked to be around -$40k just on the 32. Am I close?

    Btw, Good luck

  7. I know I should not engage haters on ET, but just this one time. If you look at the last xls. file from 2007 it cleraly states it is a DEMO. If you do not believe me - fine, flip the switch, switch the channel or continue posting; whatever floats your boat. I got bigger problems to tackle at the moment.


    Ciao!




    :p :eek:

    why not scale out of half now?

    then you can have a re-think with a clear head...
    sometimes works for me when I'm in a hole

  10. I think you are correct, the p/l figure does not reflect any commissions, looks like the Openecry demo again.
