Choppy markets lost money trying to trade the trend down (got stopped out on all but 1 of my trend trades) but was able to scalp my way to positive profits. Starting to think perhaps I just shouldn't trade expiration week as I spent a decent amount of time today in the red (down 400 at one point). +237.5 -90 comm (18RT) +147.5
Another BS day for me today. Have lost money 3 days out of 6 need to reevaluate what I am doing. Here you go market another K for ya coffers. Bummer since I was up $700 by 10.30........maddening!!!! Blotter doesnt reflect the 130 bux i lost on 20 shares of goog AF, what a f&^*(&(ing joke!!!!!
I feel so stupid !!!!! i'm such an idiot !!!! was up $490 around 2pm then lost a big chunk of it at PFE was forced to cut at the top cause it squeezed my short. then the stupid uptrend completely reverses and i get caught with a bigger long ..... the BAD thing was i became emotionally disturbed and got into revvenge trading mode... i just hed it until the end and i fucking lost it all and added more to my loss ... ended the day -$200 .... hard way to learn a valuable lesson .....
Up $175 in the back up account. Plus this............ Really liking earnings season so far. No real issues today just solid cash collecting. Me likey.
When I have a bad day I always come here to see if it was just me. I can see I was not alone today. What a piss poor market for trading.
down 2680 on 30k. tough day for me, not trading well. 10/15 up 1150 on 30k 10/16 down 550 on 82k 10/17 up 750 on 32k
Didn't break any records or anything, but I was more discplined and consistent than I was earlier in the week, so I'm patting myself on the back. Only traded 1 mini Nikkei contract at a time, made a total of 5 trades: 3 winners, one loser, one breakeven (would have been a winner but there was a fire alarm and I had to exit early to leave my computer for a few minutes). The commissions on this mini contract are killing me, but I'm not willing to risk more $ while I'm dipping my toes into live trading. Here is tonights result: + 3000 yen (~$26.03) 5 contracts traded Total for the week (I don't trade Sunday nights): Mon +1600 Tue +6800 Wed +200 Thus +3000 = Total +11600 yen (~$100.65) Have a good weekend everyone!
