Struggled early then finally made a couple of nice trades only to give back most of it at the end. No shoes for the wife and kids this winter.
Maybe i should file this under Psychology but what a cluster F. Was up $900 on 15 tix by 11 am. buuuuuut, decided to "experiment" with pairs trading and tested some theories(hahaha) Anyway I think I was bored and that I am addicted to trading(gambling) and couldnt turn off the computer...cause if I did I would think I wasnt "working" And sometimes I think i, subconciously , lose money to teach myself a lesson for being stupid. So after being down about 1500 I decided to wake up. i dunno...i told you this should be in the Psy thread Anyway, here is todays. holding some aapl and tra HAve a great weekend everyone!!!
I did the same thing yesterday on YM 'experimented' hehe net result was about the same as yours Have a good weekend
What a day - I got KILLED early on in AAPL, no follow thru on early trends, at one point I was down 18K. Hung in there... Hung in there... By 2 market time I've made about half of it back down 9K. Thank you AAPL, thank you RIMM - strong up trend in the last hour saved my butt, finished +699.
