+103 today and got lots of shares pumped through. As soon as a trade started going against me I was out. Worked pretty good. +650 for the month which is double what I made last month. It may be overly ambitious but my target for next month is 2K. If I'm as consistent as I have been for the past 2 weeks it looks like I'll make that easily. Good luck to all in September!
+50 today. Had a 180 loss. Couldnt hold the pain and got out too soon. Lots of things came together to cause this and a rash decision solidified it. My numbers say +2550 for the month, swift bop numbers say something like 2800, so if they actually give me that total i wont complain. Its been wrong all month though so im happy i write everything down to 4 decimal places each day! So thats 0 in may, 1080 in june, 2001 in july, and now 2550 in august (i think). Hopefully the trend continues to be my friend?!
Haha no. I did watch it but i finally am to the point where i dont just hit the keys when i start salavating. (See: JPM news ~1-2 months ago, BA news around same time) It was a very clear uptrend as im sure you saw and i probably could have bought long, but i just couldnt bring myself to take what i percieved as risk. I watched one person go short 500 @ 107.96 and take a $600 loss, and another go short around that price for another large loss. There was money, but i just didnt feel i could find it (but was wrong obviously oh well)
Correct me if my math is wrong. A $600 loss on 500 shares equals a loss of 1.2 points. With a short entry of 107.96 they would have realized a $600 loss at a share price of 109.16. The high of the day was 108.75. Perhaps the figures you quoted are off a tad otherwise that person should think about asking for a refund.
haven't posted that much. only traded 2½ weeks in august, and did half my normal monthly volume. looking for a big september.
Done for today, did well in RIMM and BR I know lot of people here trade using Laser If anyone has a way to exit position on certain loss limit using excel automation or if anyone is using API to place trades through genesis please please......please let me know, I'm really interested to know about it Thanks in advance,
i absolutely crushed the market today! lol made 2800 yesterday, forgot to post it on here, took tuesday off-----but today was absolutely awesome!
