My TS went down today costing me a short on YGE which as of this post I would have already been out of at a profit.
AKAM wow, did that catch on fire. Was kinda hard to do the trade as I was on the phone when it happened so I was only half able to babysit it but it was all in about ONE min 45 secs. S 41.17 41.35 41.40 bought back (lightning fast...) one min later 40.98 40.77 40.59 obviously the first buy back was not to plan but being on the phone did not help me focus +152 for the trade still short AOB
Closed out of AOB. No real price action and simply grew tired of looking at it. covered at 13.77 did appear to be a stock I may be able to trade for scalps with such a low price and having a signal of overbought. +.05 +3 after commissions.
Now flat for the day. missed a good trade due to issues with TS. the platform went down a couple of more times today for short periods but didn't cause any changes in trades. downloaded zeroline trader software as a front end to IB and will be setting that up for the next few days. Intend to start trading with IB again on Monday side by side with TS and see which one I say with. +193 for the day +347 for the week
