  1. Well, I tried trading today... just another day, right? My targets and stops mysteriously disappeared off of my screen in the middle of a short trade. I flattened the account and called the broker to make sure I was flat. Somehow I ended up in a new position. Contacted Trademaven afterwards. Seems these are "external" cancellations and fills not done on my end. They asked if someone else accesses the account! Something tells me this is not good!! They're working on it and will contact me again. Not sure what my P/L will be today! Gotta go find my aspirin... hope it still prevents heart attacks! Good trading to all (including my assistant trader). I hope he/she is better than me!!

  2. Ah yes, and 1 week and 1 day remaining of school, and then I'm free to trade and post P&L, like I have been hoping for the past 4 or so months.

    So I will indeed be posting my P&L of trading the YM.

    Good luck to all.

    a very emotional day... something got into my head


    avg down WDC, had a few okay scalps on stx as well

    i picked the 2nd top on ELN, going against my observation. avg down... sold at a loss
    avg down into the stock 2 more times & sold it at a loss. trying to pick the bottom all afternoon.

    i got out of my long swing position at yesterday's closing price...
    very lethargic stock at all time high... pull back? not waiting around to find out. some nice blocks went through it tho...

  4. I traded 1/10 the amount of shares I normally do. I ended up making money. Not a lot, but at least it is green. Maybe it relaxes me. I was able to use looser stops and not get shaken out of big moves.

  5. VERY wild day. IVAN was nasty bad as was that RMBS move. Saw my life flash before my eyes. Thank God for ELN today, that gave me 2500. Without that I'd be big red.

    Millenium Man was red 3200.

  6. Very smooth day today. No big hammers or really massive gains, just made cash pretty consistantly.

  7. Did alright today. Need to push up the shares size though. Still trading too conservative. After this month, I will have to wait another 3 months for the next earnings season.

    no buy opportunities today. the only buy was OCR but after entered, I noticed it got some bad news I did not understand, so immediately exited. After that, selling short all day long. WSSI was up huge on suspicious volume. My short selling was not timed properly on this WSSI. All other shorts were normal.
