Congrats on surpassing 9000 posts Don. 5 Fills 4 Short / 1 Long 5 Winners +$290 I have to work on better envelopes. Right now 1 looser takes out 2.25 winners average gain is .081 and average loss is -0.186 , but my win loss ratio is 10/1 so i am still positive.
"I want to thank the Academy, my fellow traders, and of course my family" LOL And, geez, it's been 7 years on ET, wow. How time flies when you're old, LOL. Don
In those situations I generally trade my positions as a portfolio. I have a spreadsheet that calculates volatility based hedges if I am too exposed on one side. I also have custom written software that can work me out of positions incrementally without firing off market orders, which would kill me in slippage.
One of those "coulda been better" - quick $380 net. GE earnings tomorrow, can always be a market mover, FYI. Don
Weird day today. Had some platform problems and a few of my trades zoomed against me...never a good combo. I was able to pull off all winners though. 3 short / 2 long 5 winners / +$310.00
6 fills/ 4500 shares 2 long / 4 short / + 456.00 been quite lately... last few days small winners on low volume...
You got that right chi...no fills again...can you say B O R I N G But, I'd rather have that than the "excitment" of getting caught on missed earnings story :eek:
Don, Just as an aside --- is the PAIR trading that you do day trading or are overnight postions held?
We have traders who day trade a couple of pairs, and go home flat...and we have traders who take home hundreds of pair (my brother has over 350 pairs in our portfolio). Don
