Trader P/L 2005

What about poor little ole me the guy who started the coolest thread on Elite Just kidding.

 

I didn't think you needed any special mention since you obviously
"walk the walk" by starting and posting your P & L on this thread.

 

well, looking at your P/L you are certainly a motivation for a lot of us.

By the way what is the process to automate the trailing stops based on volatility of the stock?

thank you

 

Set the stop loss window with the volatility stop loss alerts with this window specific filter.

I learned how to use it from this movie

seems like the blotters are drying up.

anyway, here's yesterday's eod on top, and today's midday beneath.. 8,000 shares yesterday, 6,800 today.

 

sammy, nice trading. i see that you consistently make money trading the Qs.

i put up the GBP and CAD today, to watch for a setup, and sure enough CAD had a couple nice pullbacks. i missed the first pullback as i still am having problems with esignal and tick charts, but was able to enter on the second pullback for a win.

i was 3 for 3 in the EUR, but on 1 of the trades i only took a couple ticks as i was sure to be flat prior to the 10 EST report.

still only 1 contract per trade.

i havnt figured how to cut n paste, down 71.60 for the day with gm, intc, sunw

 

+38 for me. Was down 70 at the open on a retarded mistake, then came back to pull out 110 of EP.

 

I'm gonna start posting my results. I tried to do the print screen capture method of my blotter, but I can't get it to work. Anyways, my results are no where near as good or as consistent as most ppl posting here, so it probably doesn't matter. I trade futures in any market that moves around and is electronic. I am probably the smallest profitable trader in my office and I am not as consistent as I would like to be.

+712 for today

Another note, my results are gross. My commissions are calculated at the end of the month. I know I can probably do the calculations daily on a spreadsheet, but it's not really worth the hassle for me.

 

i lost 6g's yesterday. the moral of the story???? don't play merger arbitrage and expect to make profits before the EOD.
i'm sure you can guess what stock(s) i was playing but in case you weren't watching the news I'll tell you I got long on PHS at 79.00 after the halt.

lesson learnt.
