I trade 1 ES

Hi random trader, you mentioned at the begining of this thread you are using your IB IRA account to trade ES. Does IB allow short sell futures in an IRA acount?

Thanks,

Yes

ES DEC03
Bias: down
Position: open from 1018 on 9/12/03
P/L: +0.25 (990-1008, 1018-1010, 1018-1009, 101
Sell and hold P/L: -26.75 (990-1016.75)

No fear, no greed, lots of patience

 

I am my best contrarian(sp?) indictor.

Last week I said the thread was losing momentum because of too few trades. This week I traded every day.

Last week I said buy/sell and hold looked better by the day. This week jumping in and out clearly outperformed.

Perhaps next week what I said last week will turn out to be true, since I just said the above and I am my best contrarian (sp?) indictor.

 

Forgot to report that I bought YG DEC03 @ 377.1 on Friday.
