Sorry about your trade. The FBI should investigate who made the most on this. Does not pass the smell test.
net -550 on 16,200 shares I'm reminded of that big computer in the movie War Games saying "The only way to win is not to play." "How about a nice game of chess?"
MM wow that sucks huge man, seriously not cool. makes my +2500 to -2500 swing look paltry. go have a beer and stay on ground levels, you'll smash em back soon enough.
-$ 500.00.........Should have been an easy winning day today........I made every screw up possible today.....
Looks like crazy swinging all over the place today. Agree with econdude my +13 to -5,5k also looks paltry... Loaded the ship on Friday and didn't want to unload it today for too long...
I agree, Anek CQG / FCM does not net out my commissions until much later, after reg hours. So P/L screen always shows gross until then. Standard fare isn't it ?
Hermit, Please read this story with respect, all i ask. A little less than a year ago I lost my job, being a single dad with two kids this devastated me to a point I did not know what to do, was a lost soul. I knew Anek from the past, but I would not say the friendship we had was anything out of the ordinary, I was just present in an equity room he used to frequent, a terrible room I might add, but that's beside the point. I'll tell you what this guy did. He had me log into an IRC channel called Tradingspace and said, take every trade I post, respect every stop I place, and get out when I do until you triple your account. In a matter of weeks I was able to accomplish this, when I finally reached my goal, he asked me to double my size and do a little more, until I thought I was taking advantage of this generous gesture and decided I had enough to get things rolling until I found a new job on this difficult economy. If I'm not mistaken BoyBrutus from ET was present during this event. During the weekends he took time off to show me how to do it on my own via Yahoo Chat, taught me how to fish. Oh by the way, I just heard from a good source, mutual friend, that both of his parents were in a car accident today, no details are known at this time but he left the AHG room at once, as one would imagine. Come to your own conclusions but you picking on the wrong soul, if anything pray for his family and like Dinoman said read everything he posts, particularly his most recent stuff. Sorry for intruding the PL Journal but I felt this post was necessary. I did not do this for him, I did it for me. Daniel
<i>"Come to your own conclusions but you picking on the wrong soul, if anything pray for his family"</i> Consider that part done. Hopefully all is well and everyone is fine. * This thread used to be posts that included legible blotters only. No other trade claims were tolerated. $RM outed another frequent poster with eye-popping blotters that turned out to be sim. My sole point here today was this: if anyone goes thru whatever steps necessary to post a snippet for whatever reason(s) that motive the action, why the hell not make that snapshot iron-clad without a shadow of doubt? Seriously, with no exceptions of anyone. Why don't all posts that claim profit results include a blotter that shows volume / contracts and/or best of all, T&S prints? Why would anyone show up here and risk one iota of doubt or being called out? Lastly, if anyone questioned true results, whom amongst us wouldn't be chomping at the bit to prove what we bothered to post was true? If $100+k profit makes for a decent morning today, who amongst anyone out there would be bashful to show details? Maybe some of you are to the point of stifling yawns over such a routine rake, but I'd bet others here at ET haven't reached those levels yet. They might be ultra-motivated by seeing xx-contract block cleared on the T&S runsheet. Capiche`? Ya cannot be a little bit pregnant. Either you are or you ain't. You can't be a little bit shy about posting supposed trade results. Either show 'em clearly or keep them hidden and forever hold your peace. This thread has been the only bastion of true trade results in the entire forum, ever. Keeping it above all doubt would attract more posters for sure. I quit posting here for exactly the reason(s) stated above. If the rules of old were enforced today, I'd happily post everyday... not merely chicken-picked events. My last contribution to this conversation. Show 'em if you got 'em. Why not?
