- $20 My profitable short today came from fading a move up instead of trying to get an order placed near the top. If I was more aggressive with that today, shoulda woulda coulda lots of money.
Realized P&L: +151.53 USD options arbitrage going good, expecting profit of $1K on $3.5K margin on DEC expiration
morning only. from the 60th floor of THEHotel @ Mandalay, Las Vegas. Which sounds cool but actually blows for trading as there is no desk in here and I got monitors attached to my laptop sitting on a nightstand. What can I say, am addicted.......
Sheer boredom gets me in trouble every time. Per the message received from "someone" who doubts I made money in the ES today, or even trades at all via conversation in another thread. Here's the blotter for one account today: at this time trades 12 ES contracts max. Can trade less than that if desired, but no more than 12 and must be divisble by 12 at day's end. Due to persistent pounding violence in the tape, I turned 3-lots to 6-lots only... no full-size trades. Missed everything from 830 on down this afternoon. Was short from 855 to 845 this morning, barely stopped out on a trail before it plunged straight down to 835 from there. Got pounded out of several good shorts on stops at par or slight loss before subsequent dips. In other words, today pretty much sucked. But the consolation prize for days that suck really ain't so bad, relatively speaking. Account # is visible for proof it ain't demo. Maybe only lunch money, but I do trade, and it does spend
In Vegas, managed to roll out of bed and catch the last 3 hours. +4.2k I`d like to apologize in advance to my liver for what I putting it through this weekend.
