I remind everyone the Trader P/L thread is for trading blotters. Not strategy, commissions, automation, software, margin, brokers, per share or contract fees, trading advice, money management, etc. There are a zillion other threads for those type of discussions, and the problem here is that things quickly get off-topic. If you want to offer some of that good ole ET friendly advice best to send a PM to the individual. Thanks.
$276.40 on a SPY options position I opened yesterday. Out today shortly after market open. $122.14 on a USD/NOK trade that took profit early this AM. $398.54 total
+$1018 Traded a majority of my signals today, missing the Philly Fed due to my marketable (so I thought) limit order being left unfilled in the dust! Violated my trading rules once, but because of that one transgression, my $380 profit target was reached without me on board. Later day trades only showed 10- 15 ticks before reverting to b/e. The good stuff was all done early on!
Calling it early today. Market's choppy, and I'm learning to stay out. 7 trades, 3 winners, a measly +0.25 again. 3 red days this week, for total of -$10,935. Tuesday loss was worse than I thought: -$20,267. Have a good weekend everyone.
+ $195 Took just one trade today, then talked myself out of every other trade as a result of "too low to short, but too weak to go long" syndrome
