+1266, took an 80 cent hit on CNX off the open and then a 30 cent hit on BTU on the next trade. Down about $1000 at 9:35. Very happy to make a nice comeback.
Better day today. AMD and GLW had some nice moves and a few easy arbs today for cash. Made ~100 in MU and SCH as usual, overall pretty happy.
+93 810 shares Like yesterday, the first two trades were great. But wasted all efforts on others. Never in red. The highest un-realized gain was around +200.0 before DOW and NASDAQ crashed in the afternoon. The worst trade was SMSC bought at 27.46 but sold at 26.75. SMSC was a total failure, vialting my entering rules. I bought it because I was away from my normal screen and only saw it hit the pre-defined buy price again without consulting the volume and how it was reached. This is a lessen , repeatedly happened many times before. Otherwise today is quite good. Surprisingly, I beat my simulated system today by +20 dollars! Hahaha... I am happy.
Traded pretty well today. Caught some nice moves and was able to sidestep some potential rapes. Not sure if a lot of the numbers (win/loss, and long $/short$) calculated correctly today, but the net is correct.
+ 935.14 Decent discretionary trading but a weak day for the systems. They have been getting steadily whipped in crude. Based on research, either it will be time to pull the plug on the crude systems if they continue at this rate, or they are about to kick in some $$ soon. They are approaching the threshold. The optimist in me thinks is siding with the $$ so I'm willing to wait it out.
Your performance is absolutely amazing.. u wre making like $50 a day.. and one month later you are making 10x that and are barely have a losing day... Keep up the great work.. --MIKE

hey where's mk at? LU has had huge volume the last 2 days... I made a ton of breakeven trades on LU today, but in the last 10 mins I made 2 1 cent trades for 50k shares a piece... I can see why he likes LU so much. Where else can you trade that many shares at a crack? (other than JDSU which is evil...) later mnx
spoke to him via PM today. he made a sh*tload off the earnings vol. probably just taking a break from the thread for a while.
