  1. -$473.26 on 25860 shares

    What a frustrating day. Was down nearly $600 at one point, came back to -$100, back to -$575, back to negative $50, and ended up at this sad result. The sad part is I spent over $155 in commissions which doesn't show here.

    Still up about $1k for this week. Maybe I'm trying to give it back.

    You know when you enter good trades and they just don't go your way? That's the way it was for two trades on NVDA, ATVI, GOLD, and KND (which I couldn't get out of for some reason). Only my first trade of the day was stupid, although it was a calculated risk. Starting tomorrow off w/ a gamble, also: shorting NWRE into the open.

  7. i dont think the downgrades matter anymore everyone is just used to it, it dropped the stock a quick 6 cents but it quickly recovered from there, i think this thing is setting up for a nosedive soon though

    busy day for both long and short. Still got the same problem of bad exit on nice trades (long LEAP, WDG, WCC ) and short (MSTR). anyway, improved a little.

  9. Great day today - fantastic fills on BCON, and well CNXT was just stupid. Credit Traders were out in force today on that one.

    Very happy with todays numbers.
