  1. This was my Friday

    left Early on Friday to go up north with the Family so I am adding in my PnL for friday now.

    Closed out Friday at a small loss as reported by IB.

    I had 45 May 15 UAUA calls expire on Friday but it doesnt get reported in the profit so I will manually add it in on monday.

  3. Only traded the last hour. I was up until Brighthouse Cable showed up and took me offline until after the market closed.

    Ended up -31.

    C'est la vie :D

  6. WTF happened to all the blotters in this thread from the beginning of the year? Most of them are gone. Did the moderator go a little gung ho with his editing and deleting?

  7. One of the winners was a BE+1.

    Entries/exits were between 4 and 20 contracts on the ES, scaling in and out.

    Long small position after 10:00 swing point, faded sell into 1439.50 area.

    Biggest gain today was on drop from under the 1433.50 area.
    Was previously short from 1439.50 but was stopped out on the spike up to 1441.00.

    Sidenote: I personally believe posting percent gains relative to account size has more meaning, but people seem to be fixated on dollar amounts. Therefore, I'll follow the crowd in this regard.

    Happy with today. PNL looks worse than it should due to options expiration and the way IB accounts for it.

    Caught an ES 10pt short from the highs (1 contract)

    Still hold 2 contracts short.
