Although the market isn't closed I'll post what I'm at for now. I'm trading on margin now so I don't have to wait for the settlements. I bought DVN irrationally at 59.40. My eyes were playing tricks on me. (46.50) realized loss and (18.50) unrealized loss. On another trade, I didn't stick to my positions again for the second time and incurred expenses from changing my sell order numerous times. I chased the stock down to sell but it actually went back up higher than my original sell limit price. I had a feeling it was going to do that right after it dropped after observing the stock for awhile, but I didn't listen. I still came out with a $36 realized profit and a $11 unrealized profit. I have another position open that has a $12 unrealized profit. My money was tied up from the previous two trades so I couldn't do much here although this is where I should have focused more on. I have one day trade left for the week so I have to intraday trade. Maybe I should start a journal.
Got beat up on the reit short side again today, caught the miday drop, covered, got long, dumped, got short. That dive saved my butt. Made a couple of other nice trades to pull in the other half. +10.1K MTM, 9.9k realized.
I was sick all morning and not myself today.....just kept thinking I should be in bed. Tomorrow I am sleeping in... None the less I did make some money with the time I had today.
got shutddown on my opening fills. looks like you vultures got the best of me today... got that bad fill on KOSN, held it for a few minutes while it was trading in a range, the loss only grew bigger... that's trading for ya. have a good one everybody. mnx
