Mercurial, Nice going! You show a TS performance summary (a la system performance summary); are you autotrading? Richard
I've been posting screen captures of the "Trade Manager Analysis" window. It's available to TS brokerage clients. It performs most of the analytics available in the performance summary on actual results. You can specify the dates/ contracts to include in the summary. Obviously I blank out my account. # What you are seeing are actual results for a combination of autotrading and discretionary trading as per earlier posts.
+659 today. No real big hammers or big gains, just lots of small profits. GLW had lots of action as did DPH of course. Oppourtunity of the century went by as i was trading ALL when rita was downgrade and was long a few thousand at 50.01 (i think) and it shot up to 51.80+. I know i should have make 4823094820 dollars and i was pretty pissed as i kept thinking the run must be over but it never was.....
FWIW, I judge peoples blotters based on their posts in other threads and how much continutiy there is between everything they say on the board. Reading Steve's posts in many threads, there is extreme continuity. Everything he has posted leads me to believe what he says. This post will proabably get deleted anyways so meh.
Yeah, why are my posts getting deleted? Can someone instruct me on how to post my blotters? I use an online firm and laser, thanks.
Guess I shoulda kept posting. Taking myself outta the loop for the rest of the month, trader stop-loss. I've been working on too many new niches this month, and am spread too thin, trading is also too sloppy, and psychologically not in the right mindset. Given away over 30k of profits this month on BS trades/churn, still in the black MTD, but at 15% of the pace of last month now. Everyone wants ta see a loss, well.......HERE YA GO. My largest ever.
No shame in it. As we educate others on what its like to trade for a living people need to know that all good players/traders have off days and even months. Look at Tiger I am waiting for an endorsement deal brokers hint hint wink wink. How does Diamondtrim do it? I do it with "My Direct Access Broker", their generic platform that looks and feels like all the other ones is the edge for me. Sure the quotes are the same and execution is the same but hey who else is buying me dinner ;-). I digress.....The bottom line is the best traders are on this thread period end of story. Cause anybody else who is out there talking the talk can just cut paste and make themselves legit, but until they do, and do it with some consistency it is all just words. MR.NBBO I have no doubt you will be kicking ass soon! I wonder how we all did combined at the end of the month. We should see, that would be interesting. Then we can all start our own firm , if we were just not so lazy
If you want, I will post it tomorrow when i get in. I will tell you where I made my money today. Caught some very good moves in PGR, as well as a few very nice shorts in ACI and CNX before lunch. Thats all I can remember for now.
