First trade of the day last day of the month. VRTX up about 19% gave a S:6b signal and I decided to push it hard. 2 @ 22.24 22.28 22.30 22.32 22.35 22.38 22.40 22.43 22.47 22.30 22.45 1 @ 22.61 (high of the day) 23 @ ave 22.37 was bouncing around a bit so I bought 2 back at 22.18 thinking I would scalp some. +36 now 21
1Reason, I have not read all of your thread, but have you substantiated your trades claims by posting on daily bases your statements? I hope you have or will, since for unsubstantiated journals, there exist the P/L 2008 thread and anyone else posting a journal outside of that in my opinion MUST present and prove credentials, else why the extra thread when the other one already exists and has such followings? BTW, your achievements if fully substantiated is OUTSTANDING.
1R, allow me. First, perhaps before commenting on something, you should read it in its entirety. Second, why do you think that anyone cares what your opinion of "unsubstantiated journals" are? Did someone appoint you the commisioner of journals? I guess I missed the memo. Third, why compliment him on his trading, after calling him out in such a highhanded, halfwitted way? Fourth, Its terribly difficult to take any opinion seriously when it is presented with such horrific grammar. Have a nice day.
Hello TradStSox, Thanks for reading my journal and taking the time to post. I usually post all my trades here. Not always but I dont think I missed any losers only winners when really busy. I also call out most of my trades in advance in the chat so your welcome to visit there and you can see that its not an 'after the fact thing'(I only do that because I have been asked to) I also post my blotter from the screen to show that I am not paper trading but actually this journal started out as a way for me to backtest my trading and I never expected anyone to pay much attention. My results have (absent today) been better than I thought they would be. So all my trades are real but if you dont believe me thats ok. I will still wish you the very best in trading. BTW today doesn't feel so outstanding as I broke several rules and instead of being closed out flat and up 1000+ now I have an open position that is down 5300.
Hey 1nibbler, Thanks for your post. I hope your day went well. I watched LEH today. Looking very good for you. Getting my ass handed to me with VRTX and no need except I became a little too greedy. oh well, tomorrow should be good. These news plays seem to top out on the news and fall back in the next few days.
Hey bro, I was keeping track of things on my iphone..but it doesn't support chat. Tomorrow, we'll get a good morning raindance going and straighten out things ASAP. <grin> I myself was gritting my teeth throughout most of the day. What the hell, its Monday right???
What a horrible day. Was up to my profit goal with VRTX and decided to take more profit than my system calls for. I was thinking that VRTX was overdone and would continue to fall. I was wrong. On top of being wrong I was very aggressive in share quantity which further increased my problems today. The system/signals worked correctly, too bad I didn't or I would be up very nicely with VRTX today. - ~ 5500 open + 36 for the day / week + 15616 for the month + 25572 for the year
