Lightspeed does rock, though.... yeah, an options chain would help. Wish they'd get into forex, too...... Averaged up in NTRI. I'm at 1500 shares at 16.82. Still holding 500 AAPL. With school starting soon, I might just hold these until I graduate - lol...... Paper trades are up $100 on the intraday swings. Still trying to figure out how the heck to paper trade scalping..... off to lunch I go. MK, i don't know why you bother. There will always be haters and doubters. Whether your stories are true or not is inconsequential to me - still inspiration. For all the haters, you should get yourself in that Trader Mag! -K
(limitdown, i did not get any PM nor email come thru for you. Please send again ... you have it wrong. my unrealized $89 is what I have open, and the 1366 was what I had booked for the day.) opening orders just hammered me this morning. i missed the healthcare sector news, and took my worst loss in 3 years. -4,500 on 45,000 shs traded. stats show this happens and is part of the OOs game. took a break, went for a run ... and now i am back at the mid-day trading to see what i can make back. patrick
I felt your pain as well, although I was able to work back to positive on the day. WLP was brutal, THC was as well. Was lucky enough to cancel the others. I did manage to make about $1200 on the opg though. "Could have" been very good without those couple of losers. Todays match goes to healthcare, I intend to make it back plus 100% on my money. How bout' you? Good trading to you! Mike
Mike, nice job on the comeback! I have to admit, I did a very bad job trading this morning. I paid too much attention to my P/L, and because it was news related I simply was afraid to average down and try and trade myself out of the hole. (WLP whacked me hard about 4 months ago, whereby i averaged down when i thought i saw a reversal, yet he just hesitated then kept going against me for another 2 points on a few prints.) the loss this morning i can careless about, but how i traded (pathetic) the loss, had me mad, hence the run to cool my mind. yes for sure, i am trading to make that money back ASAP. i find that when i am down, after opening orders i trade more aggressively. But, not out of control, nor with increased shs size, just more alert, and active and i usually do very good. any others, act the same way? patrick
blotter looks the same as before. I have been playing poker online for the last 3 hours. Someone just wont let LU go from 2.91..
Based on your own post admitting that you took notice of AVR in the afternoon as opposed to your claim of having traded it in the morning, it's not only fair but only logical from a professional point of view to challenge your post and come to the conclusion that you CAN NOT be the author of those executed trades. I haven't challenged you on your previous posts, simply because i didn't find any discrepancies. In this one however, i did. Also, pm'ing me and calling me a jackass and labeling me as a hater doesn't raise the argument not only to a professional level let alone to an intellectual one. That's all i have to say on the subject. All you forumers make your own assessment and draw your own conclusions
yeah i pulled the trades out of my ass---- would you like a certified, notarized copy printed on company letterhead, signed in blood to make you feel better?
My gut tells me MK is bullshiting. He just makes it all too easy.. like I just made $7k.. i stopped because i have to go for a swim or shopping with my daughter.. just doesnt legit. - my 2 cents.
If you don't believe him, just ignore him. I hope he does do as well as his blotters say he does, but don't really care either way.
