that was ugly for shorts...i was long and holding with 1.2k running losses on multiple contracts; that sudden freak out saved my trade and my day. very volatile day for me, up 1k+, down 1k+, ended up around 700.
Nothing worse than driving hard shorts in the morning then being forced to eat your profits then your shirt then your week into the afternoon. I havent seen strength like this in a while after such down pressure. -12 buck gold and oil down 2 bucks and the oils and golds finish green ? Anyone ? Happy to finish down 350 on the day and this is after only one green day this week. That hurts.
Dude sorry to hear about the loss. I know you were starting to get some traction. Always happens after a good run and when your confidence is high. See you monday and a quote for the weekend... I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. Michael Jordan
Nice day for forex EA, difficult day for futs. Still ended up okay though. ER2 +410 YM +165 ES -375 ZG +210 QM -375 EUR two trades 600 each = +1200 Great weekend all!
Today's P&L: about $1300 and I decide to carry $1000 unrealized profit to Monday. This week's total P&L: about $7300 and it is a tough week for me. Monday: $9000 Tuesday: -$2000 Wed.: -$1500 Thursday: $500 Friday: $1300
would it be possible for some of you to state A. retail trader or prop daytrading firm etc ? B. futures or stocks etc ? myself ... presently retail mostly futures with some stocks thrown in update ... closer to 2% for week instead of the 1% posted afew hours ago here
Seth Arb: For me, it's always all stocks... NYSE listed only. Net + 740, Gross +1410... Good day, was able to build a great comeback into the close and throughout the afternoon (I was down $150 this morning)... I thought it would be a shitty quiet day, but in the afternoon I just kept building, $60 here, $100 there... I also had a lot of good position trades which worked out - two 90 cent winners and one 50 cent winner - which I'm proud of, since I'm a scalper who is always working on holding longer.
