Not sure why my screenshot didn't attach Anyways stayed short over the weekend couldn't pull the trigger at 1415 as my system said we were moving towards 1402 screenshot on monday might be a little messed up profit wise as I'm getting called away a 1400 straddle I wrote.
weekend update on my totals for last week ended up losing $400 or 1/3 of one percent on my acct I know this is good thing that I have been able to basically give away more money to various people and organizations than mr market in 2008 and I will try to remain humble and giving ( oh oh ... uncle sam in on the phone - he wants me to give too ) 05-16-08 08:53 PM evening update well indeed my streak of consecutive winning weeks since the start of 2008 has ended. being my loss for the week was only a few hundred $$$ total ... and the loss was less than 1 % it was not so bad
2000 shares/ 2 trades/ 1 cancel.....had to close the trade due to being down 2 times in 15 minutes....will stop for the day....
Well, on Friday the website wasn't accepting posts (at least for me) - I ended the day down approx 400 usd net. The equities strat was up n down but finished positive, the futures strat savaged me and gave up all the gains. I'm making some heavy modifications to try to improve consistency on that one. Today, my blotter page is screwed and so no screenshot again. But it's been a much better day. A couple of juicy trades in the equity strat to produce approx 1310 usd net. Have a good night all
