Im calling this a g day, cause our power messed up (again?!) and i was down for the close. Have 100 shares long of TXT on my blotter, so hopefully i dont start down more than 100 tommorow.
+1556, pretty good day, could have done without losing $300 in the last 30 mins but what are you gonna do.
overall cant complain today, except i had issues all day with my charting in esignal for my currency futures, so no trades there. patrick
Very Tuff day for me today was up like +160 and gave it all back due to the selling which came at 1.00 Down -75 shares traded 5000 : (
Last 3 Days: -$400 (traded in the morning, my fault) +$400(followed the plan) -$450(another mistake), I shorted in the morning which I was not supposed to do, but since the market held up pretty well took $40 profit and went long. The market went down soon after that. This is it. No more trading before 1EST.
-$75 on 18,200 shares So pissed at myself. I added a real-time scanner to my arsenal today, and I was doing quite well: I was finding more safe(r) setups than usual because I wasn't having to hunt for opportunities nor was I trying to force each position. Money felt quite easy to come by in the AM with only one losing position: HAL. Then the market turned around 2:30 and I got caught on the wrong side. I saw all my profits slip away and then some on two trades - ugh! Good lessons learned today, though - I won't complain too much more. Holding NNI (19 days of short squeeze coming up, I'm thinking), PSYS, and NTRI - all for a swing of unknown horizon.
Internet went down during the day so I stopped trading early. Forgot to save my blotter. Overall I think it was a good day. I think I was up around $1200.
