  1. I did $49 today. I was down 105 at the open as i was trying a new strategy and manage to get myself mangled (math makes sense, should be better tommorow), but i had a good day on EP and managed to pull it back in the green by the end of the day.

  2. SIRI. Finished up 5,6k. Won't bother posting blotter. Churning is a traders worth nightmare... God damnit...

  3. Hi Guys,

    I just started trading a couple months ago. I'm a brand new poster (long time lurker) & I figured I'd average things out a bit on this forum.

    I can't post my P&L - so, we'll have to go on good faith:

    Yesterday I made about $6 - today I was up 20 cents EOD.

    Cheers!

    Smooooth!

  5. listedguru,

    i have just recently started to write down rules for a couple ideas that i want to use for an automation strategy. i have been so lazy the last 2 years by not going down this road, but i do know that if i want to grow as a trader, and adapt i should be using automation.

    at the moment, i trade on average 100k shs a day and i do it all manually. i am sure there are a few guys on this thread that are scalping manually w/ no use for automation.

    because automation is so prevelant today for traders, it would be interesting if one could write a strategy, soley against a typical automation strategy rather than price. any ideas?

  6. I am also trading manually. I would love to hear from anyone on how to get stared with automation. For you automated traders out there I have many questions but I'll just list a few important ones here. What kind of programs do you use for automation? Do you need programming experience? If yes, how many years of study do you need to start writing an automated program.
