Pretty pleased with this day. Doing fewer trades of late and fewer shares, seems to be working. Plus losing virtually no money helps. Good times.
Net $210.20 Mook123. Regarding Steve, I've known him personally for several months and he is not lying on his blotter "they are real". He is a pretty consistent trader 'til this day I dont remember a day when I have seen him net negative, thats just how he trades. Consistency is more important to him than going for the big swings. Maybe you can learn a thing or two from him, he is a great guy and passionate about his work he wouldnt think twice helping a fellow trader.
+$84------ 4000 shares, after five negative days, I hope i don't need another five days to make it again! Finally, i can post a snapshot for my results, Thank u Szeven for the tip, it was helpful!
First off to set the record straight I was making between 800 to 1000 a day before I left swift I didn't post everyday. I trade a reoccuring pattern that happens in the market day in and day out, so how can I not make money. I've bagged my elephant, and he pushes me and shows me how to be a better trader. I could tell you what I do step for step and I bet that you would make a hell of a lot more money then me probably cause your more skillful at entering and exiting large positions without causing large movements in the market. So instead of saying my blotters are BS, do your homework find something that works and bag your elephant. And in reagrds to losing days, I should never have a day under 5k to me now thats a losing day. By the way automation is a great and wonderful thing.
I give people the benefit of the doubt and I believe what people post in this P&L thread. I know "Reardon" we trade at the same firm. Making money is not that big of a deal once you find something that works. I made $900 today which is close to my average. A big day for me is 3k. Doesn't happen enough though. I average around $1,200 day but I feel it is a Grind. It may seem like a lot to some people but it's the same thing day in day out. Right now I am trying to get "OUT" of the $1,000 day RUT, LOL. I have a Trading plan that tells me exactly when to go Long and Short. No guessing involved, just pull the trigger. The only guessing is Exiting the trade, still trying to perfect. I trade the same 3 stocks every day, no ifs and or butts. I know that my trading plan will average 13 trades per day. I know the % of Winners, Losers, and Break Evens will be before I even start the day. I can't remember the last losing day I had, it's been months. A bad day for me is Break even minus comm. I can't even imagine having days like "Reardon Metal" I enjoy his post and I hope he continues to contribute here.
