+308 today. New best day ever beating 303 last thursday. Was all around a good day, some things clicked better, but even still i could have made a lot more if i had not make retard errors, generally related to not holding a position long enough and not maximizing its full potential wisely.
Szeven, I've been following your progress on this thread. I think you're doing exceptionally well (especially for a newbie in a slow summer market). Keep up the great work.
free brut helps when you trade that much volume. probably spent about 800 bux today in commission if that. But you are right most guys would be underwater with what they pay in commissions compared to me.
if sombody made money trading lu today gold bless you. somebody bottom fishing it in 100k size got killed
im up 768 on LU today so far, took a couple losses this morning on size, ( it was trading very thin around 10 am it started) PPHM helped me today so far.
hey, mk.. can you itemize your commissions for yesterday? how is it possible to pay just $800 on 9 million shares? do you buy and sell 5,000 share blocks at a time to avoid mastertrader's per share charge on anything over 5K? were you taking liquidity from INET on your breakeven trades? did the $800 include SEC, OES and/or ISI fees? that's the only thing about your trading that i find really confusing. thanx!
been awhile since i posted, but my daily average has increased some mainly due to this thread, and some of the chats I have had with others here on this thread, and work i have been doing. thanks guys. plus, reading MR.NBBO comments the last couple of weeks rekindled some work I had started a year ago, on mean reversion - as a light bulb went on in the brain. super thread, patrick
sammy those fees that you see on mastertrader are not the same ones that I pay. those are for the guys that make very little trades per month. I have no share caps on my trading, the 800 bux yesterday on commissions did not include the SEC fees, but it did include all the associated ecn fees and or rebates that I got on INET for trading. I PM'd you the fee structure that I have.
good day trading, missed that CNR eod run, traded it pretty much flat eod, PPHM was good, LU old faithful did me in for a little profit this morning on that dive, ELN was good scalping today.
