  2. Only a few easy steps.

    1. Alt+Print Screen to capture your blotter / account window
    2. open Paint
    3. paste
    4. select the rectangle area tool
    5. use the rectangle tool to select the area displaying your acct #
    6. Ctrl+X
    7. voila - personal info is now gone

    But, whatever. I'm sure you have your reasons.

    Done for the day. Nice ending to the week.

    Wareco, I can capture the screen, bit I can't upload it to post.
    When I think I do, it doesn't show. PM me your email and I'll send it to you... maybe you can post it. Is there an attachment button I'm missing?

  7. From the room, with blotter capture

    CTTY 1000 +.30 = $300
    CTTY 500 +.20 = $100
    CTTY 500 +.20 = $100
    BIDU 200 +.15 = $30
    BIDU 500 +.10 = $50
    CTTY 700 +.30 = $210
    CTTY 100 +.21 = $21
    CTTY 500 -.10 = -$50

  9. outstanding,

    you're balancing both size (500 shares and 1000 share positions) with the risk inherent in these positions....

    good results, it could have easily gone the other way though

  10. Hi

    Yes limitdown, It could go the other way too just as in any trade and in any market. But we buy mostly on strength and not in weakness. So we have a much better chance of going the way we want it to go. If it loses, it loses, thats all. Trading is a game of chance with controlled risk and we all must accept it once we step into the realm of trading.
