Needed a decent day and got one. Will be distracted with stuff next couple weeks volume may be down but hopefully not P/L.
Today's P&L: about -$1500 I did not trade much (only 5000 shares) today and the ironic thing is: I lost most money on shorting one stock in today's market.
Grossed 240, Netted - 520 Sucked horribly... started out in a $700 hole from overcovering a short which I couldn't get out of until some stuck orders all got filled... got plugged for almost 40 cents on 1300 shares, was able to get back to being down $220, then went down to $500, then got it down to $300... and someone in my room called out that AEO was stepping up buyers with size, and I fell for it like a moron... 150,000 shares were on the bid 7 cents below where I bought 800 shares, and I lost 25 cents, bringing me back to down $500... really shitty day...
1 trade, +46.40. Have some open apple options still, June 125 calls which look like they should be taking a jump today (pre-opening trading has AAPL up $1.56 to $125.20 currently). Could be a good day today!
Awesome day! Love when everything goes down the drain. ER2 +1160 ES +425 YM +640 ZG +910 EUR/USD +455 EUR/JPY -96 Not a record by far, but certainly one of my better days net.
no trades today, the grmn trade in the blotter was an accident that i sold right after i bought. passed on a few trades early on that would of worked nicely, but didn't have the conviction to pull trigger. glad to see the market correcting some finally, hopefully this will reload some good setups.
