  6. 7 fills, 4 longs, 3 shorts, 4 winners, 3 losers, +0.05 average.
    Increased size for today, 1/2 shares 0.06 limit profit.
    Maximum number of shares traded on a single day so far.
    Maximum number of stocks played.
    I have no clue how it happened but my program auto closed a trade and I manually reversed the position for a big loss. I think the program was not sending the order so I closed it and it finally sent the orders. Would have been close to double. Well, sometimes it's on my side :)

  7. 5 fills, 2 longs, 3 shorts - was doing well until I didn't take care of my HPQ long, went 40 cents against me. Fortunate the GE and MS treated me well for a total loss of $30, could have been bad

  9. EMZ

    EMZ

    1 fill short, 1 win +0.05 avg

    Worst week for the last nine months.
    Combination of being on the dark side of the stats,
    increased size, but mainly number 1 cause: operator errors
