OK, this is a funny story; So I pick up 52,000 shares of AAPL on a dip. My average price was $160. A minute later AAPL is trading at $153 and my unrealized loss is about $360,000. My tender sore anus is just begging for the pounding to stop... and it does. A minute or two later AAPL is trading $10 higher at $163 and all is well. The end
Best day in my young trading career now, this p&l is from today, using my regular strategy on all 4 majors indexes (ER ES NQ YM) 3 contracts
up 2300 on 53k shares. wasn't that agressive in the afternoon, feel like I missed some opportunity, but I guess that's better than being on the wrong side.
-4570 on 287k shs. lost in every account today. made back some coin on the afternoon moves, fortunately.
No trades in the back up account. Ok day in the main account but really should have killed something on that futures move, but sadly just churned. Oh yeah, BIDU you are one crazy mofo.
Another very tough day - got nailed when the system froze and lost the better part of the day which was +$900 at that time. Went down to +$50 and ended up somewhere in the middle. Not good!! Very tough day!
It's <b>way</b> less than everyone probably thinks. You know what, I guess I should just give up the number, instead of quietly letting people think I earn ten times more than I actually do. Alright, here's a splash of cold water on the Rearden Metal myth: Including today's gains, I'm now up $887,000 on the year. (That's trading earnings only- Investment gains not included.)
