Very good day today but overall not too happy with the end result. Should have made well over 20k, if I could only take one trade back.
Really should have made a fortune today. Feel a little stupid posting a 1200 blotter. Cry me a river Millenium Man.
+108 1100 shares struggling all day long, finally at least made a few dollars. Worst trade: bought KEYW at 18.48 and sold at 17.78. It is dead.
I should have also said in my post that i came back over $300k from my low! Had my first run in with a clearly erroneus trade on INET today. I had 968 shares short of EP and wanted to round out my lot by sitting on the bid with 468 shares, but i forgot to hit tab and entered the order for 968 shares bid at $468 per share. I got filled some around $20 per share and the rest at 468, and i was down $306,000. I figured there was no way this could stand and before i even made it to the bosses desk Inet had called us and was in the process of breaking the trade... whew!
good up day for me, would have been about 300+ more trading the SPI but because im day trading futures using a 56k modem i guess that happens(i cant get DSL where i live). really cleaned up in the EURO today and after getting sliced in the FTSE100 again ive decided to step aside trading on EUREX and LIFFE altogether for awhile because they are not generating coin for me atm. not having a good week in the ES, i think the effects of this new fed chief has temporary knocked me out of tune with the US indicies. +$538.05
Net +888, slightly shy of goal, but up 5k off of my low. :eek: I am completely exhausted from todays meat grinder. Oh, and you should see the commission I paid today-ouch! Johnnysharp, you should really look into getting a satellite modem . . .
