damn what a day +150 then got squeezed in ge went to -550 then slowly crept my way to being flat then freakin cfc skyrockets and i get caught with a stupid pending i wasnt able to cancel ..... ended -240 for the day ... damn .... goodluck to all ....
Long this morning ER 723.8, sell-stop set at 728.8 for +5pts which was below the daily pivot point. Should have easily tagged the pivot like all other eminis did, have me out at +5pts and done for the day. Nope... ER was the lone dissenter on hitting that magnet. Missed that print by three mere ticks. End result was +3pts on a trail. Three more short trades all came out at par. If the tape slows down any further than this, it'll slip right into a coma. Is the VIX at 10 again? * Admin note: this account is cross-margined off a primary account. It did not have an actual starting balance, for those who asked. Assume we began with $2,500 initial. If we go backwards to what would be $500 remaining on that mark from here, consider the account blown out and our experiment has failed. For each +25pts ER logged here, we'll add another contract. In the next day or two we should be turning 2-lots, then eventually 4-lots, 8-lots and up. We'll max out somewhere around 40 ER contracts eventually, unless we blow out first :eek: +3pts ER cumulative, four round turns
Long story short... was +2200 then did a trade on AAPL with 2500 shares then boom there goes my internet. No problem just call in right! Hmmm... where did this moron put his phone? (only have cell) Any ways when it was all over... -2401 Talk about a victim of circumstance and a case of stupidity at the same time. :eek: :eek: To funny!!!
Busy with "day job" most of the day. Should be able to trade normally the rest of the week. The way nature intended.
Hey first time posting in this thread. I'm new to trading and this is my best day so far, in about 3 weeks of trading. Lets see if I have the discipline to post every day... Goal for the rest of the week is to only trade 1 contract, and move to 2 next week if I trade well and according to plan the whole week.
Was up around 170 at one point, but I got out of bed for nothing, ended -3.25 ET Old Timers: Watch out! One day I'm going to take your lunches. One day soon. You've been warned
