good day profit wise but definitely could have been double as I gave back a lot of profits too much today +9.5k
+ $354 Wanted to short UAUA and couldn't, so spent time with my better half shorting on his IB platform. First short was a tenth the profits it should've been because of 200 instead of 2000 shares shorted (my bad for not specifying the exact quantity :eek
a smarter man would stop trading for a while, or at least reduce size by force (w/d $ from the acct)- i'm not that smart. i'm either going to work thru this (was 100% confident of this a while ago, not so much any more), or this acct will go down in flames (sadly, increasingly more likely). was up 10m, then down 25m. absolutely nailed both a huge move in the EUR.JPY and the end of day selloff- perfect r/r entries. closed both positions for ZEROFUCKINGREASON- taking less than 20% of the eventual move in both. ended down ~4m (blotter, as usual, is wrong)- well over 10m from last night's high. fuck me.
I slept in because of a damned smoke detector. "BEEP!" "BEEP!" every twenty seconds all night long. I finally got up at 5:50a, got the ladder and changed the damn battery. Grrrr. Maybe I should start my posts with "Dear Diary". LOL Anyway, I didn't start trading until 2:30p but ended up +65.00 Bleh. Whatever.
+1k 2 out of 3 data providers were freezing up all morning, and the third was lagging, wasn't on my end. Made it impossible to trade with confidence so I shut 'er down and went fishing.
Trying my hand at equities again. A nice start... +1400 Holding AAPL overnight. Looks like the iPhone was nice to me..
