the indices are: .INDU, .COMPX, and .SPX. i also have .NDX, .SOX, .XBD (broker/dealer index), and .VIX in my indices box.
after losing money yesterday (only $19), it was nice to crack 4 figures today. i dumped my Q's at 4:06, comfortably before INTC laid an egg with their aftermarket earnings release.. then of course i rebought 'em. hopefully, the analysts won't batter intel tomorrow morning, and we continue our rally. only 7,500 shares traded. EDIT: damn, i forgot about YHOO.
+98 today. Finished the day with a $38 loss from top which really hurts as the last hour is normally my best time. I let a trade get away from me and took a 2 cent loss on 1500 shares just after 3pm, which i never do. Was an incredible morning for me (+81), so im hoping to build off that tommorow.
as promised, my blotter for the day. The after hours market affected my unrealized P/L, was up $1600, but now it just says $1300 :'(
MK-When you are trading LU I know you are daytrading but are you scalping i.e .005 per trade or trying to make a little more? thanks
LU took a huuuuuge drop right off the open. anybody caught long with a lot of shares woulda been hardpressed to get out without taking a major hit, levels were thin all the way down, and it moved more like a $20 stock rather than a $3 one for that first half hour.....
