  2. Pretty good day and I received what I wanted (big end of month day)

    Still have UAUA on my back but its a little bit in the plus right now.

    CTV S:6b +827
    DVA S:6b +607
    OIS S:6b +518
    UBB S:6b++ traded outside time but was so strong I thought I would enter it. I actually traded it twice. + 252

    ITU S:6b outside of time but no trade.

    closed out my naked calls with SOHU 2 June 85 and 90s. ~ 100

  3. Good end to the month. After studying some of my signals I see that the drawdown on some are not worth the risk. I have adjusted them as a result.

    + 4382 for the week
    + 13392 for the month
    + 38964 for the year

  4. Just a couple of trades today. This is the start of my first full month as a full time trader.

    EYE S:6b +927
    EJ S:6b + 378

    I went a little bit larger with EJ as I felt it was a very strong signal. I went to 300 share units instead of the normal 200. I also put a lot more shares avail but I did not get lifted on as many as I had wanted.

  6. In response to the PMs that I am receiving about trading and my signals. I normally give out the calls and trades in real time on the ET chat.

    With that being said I don't recommend anyone actually trade based on my calls without understanding fully how I enter into and out of my trades.

    also I trade about the most risky way possible without a long track record so you would have to enjoy staring down an abyss with every trade.

    Also knowing thats where your money may end up may not be wise.


    I have been working on a swing trade signal and the first short signal tests are:

    TZIX above 22
    HAS above 37
    MIR above 42

    I am still working on the model to provide the best method of trading this signal. Options seem on the face to be the best choice as they may offer a way to earn with time decay as well as price movement but in order do really do well they have to have a lot of volume otherwise getting in and out may be a problem.

    Goal is to get 7% + per trade in about 5-10 days from stocks that appear to be at the point of a turn in trend.

  7. Just two trades today and only one of them was a "real" trade.

    JNY turned into more of a scalpfest as it just stayed in a range after my entry.

    JNY S:6b
    SFI S:6b

    Impressive pnl 1reason! I've noticed your exits on winning trades are generally 50-60 cents. Also if your winners are this amount, how much do you risk on each trade? I also trade a similar style, ie trending and capitulation reversals. Curious as to how long you've been trading for. TIA

  10. MIR is in overbought territory and is setup as a short.

    There is an earnings conference on May 8th which is really good as it helps the timing of the entry.

    If the conference goes well and MIR moves up on the 8th I expect to see the pivot point on the 8th or the 9th.

    A really nice pattern would be the stock moving up to the report and then moving strongly up with last gasp of buyers coming in.

    depending on the IV of the options I may be looking to sell calls and or buy puts as well.

    I intend to have about a 5-6% profit target.
