Trade of the Day

  1. Best and worst trade of the day were buying GS at 157, getting stopped out like an idiot, (the worst part) and then remounting and getting a point out of it.

  2. well, similar shit happened to me on this sob but made good gains long 1k vrsn soon after open. unfortunately made a series of horrendous trades on vlo and specialist/clerck/whatever wouldn't lemme out bmy with a decent gain. from up more than $500 to just $100. utterly pathetic and a day to boot.

  3. shorted 20k of OI at the 14.81's near the open....got out at the 14.72's on someone's beautiful arca reserve bid...then watched a buying spree push the stock up almost a buck the rest of the day

    and for once this month...i didnt have a bad trade today! :)

  5. Worst trade, I lost 40% shorting NSS after it gapped up Monday.

    Had a nice 3.5% run in ATRS over last 2 days. Still holding out for around 24

  6. Best and worst trade today was in the oils -- best in PBR buying the range break-out and worst was later i DO when I thought they would run up in the late afternoon. Tough stocks to trade...

  8. my best was my also my worst today.....ment to buy 1k and accidently bought 10k of OI at the 15.47's near the open....managed to get out near the .50-52's for a $400-500 winner.....lol..pretty bad when a mental and keystroke error gives you your biggest profit of the day

  10. I was taught when I made an "execution error" to get out immediatley and take my lumps...this is the worst thing that could have happened to you. Think about next time...manage your emotions
