Wouldn't be right to post my best day and not my worst. Everything went bad today. A good chunk is from illiquid swing positions in the absolute worst sector.
I hear you. My main accounts took a serious beating today. Within the first 30 minutes I was down 3% across all accounts and it got worst from there. Worst 1 day loss I've ever had.
Hate intraday trading but today was too sweet to miss, ended up doing spreadbetting with IG Index. +£6470.23 Shoulda,woulda,coulda ! P.S. How many here were tempted to go ALL IN today ?
I haven't been trading much do to the fact of the crazy T.V. fight over B.S. I have been pretty much flat for the last 2 weeks. Trade some days and not trading for a few days. For the last 2 weeks I am up roughly $4,700 and Improving my golf game. Sometimes it pays big just not to trade. Congrats to all you guys smacking it out of the park! I will start posting consistently again, once I feel the market is worth the trading risk.
Wow, sorry to see your bad loss, but I respect you for: - having the balls to trade such huge size and - posting your resulting blog Take care

Decent day for being as tired as I am. Was an incredible month of insane volatility. Why can't it always be like this? Hope this continues in October.
