    With the IB accounting PNL today looks a little better than it should. Closed 1 contract out and have 1 remaining for closeout if we get some serious downside movement. (buy to cover is at 1401.50) Hopefully I can close this last contract out at a nice gain and then the numbers will jive better acct wise...in the end though its all about making money. GL everyone

  4. Traded 10a-11a, like God intended. :p

    Ended in the green!!! Imagine that...a day that I didn't lose money. That just goes to show you that even a blind squirrel will get a nut once in a while. :D

    I may trade last hour IF we have a huge rally.

    Not getting rich but can't complain about the consistency.

    Someone mentioned IB's intra day PnL numbers.
    I asked them recently why all the errors. I think I posted their response but it was something to the effect they know it's not accurate but have no plans to correct it.

    When it's inaccurate mine always shows less than it should. And usually the error occurs around 2pm ET.
