Trader P/L 2010

Discussion in 'Journals' started by Robert Weinstein, Jan 3, 2010.

  1. Monday was 43K minus 5k carry over.

    I added some executions so Osamberg can double check. I sent some from Sunday Night where the market is thinner so that maybe you can go back to the Time and Sales to verify.

    Happy Trading

  4. +70 (-88 from the attachment for other losses)

    From +300 to +70, all because of fslr :eek:

    Did avg down size 400, dangerous, i better start to watch my back not to repeat today's mistake, once size up into wrong trend, the losses can reach thousands!!

    Better do the following:
    - watch my position sizing
    - careful about buying too many positions
    - cut loss is my best friend!!!

  8. NoDoji

    +$218

    I had difficulty reading the opening price action on AAPL and POT, so decided to wait until after the housing news, then took a couple AAPL trades after the news and got whipped around by the price action, was down $50. Why I even traded it in that choppy range I’ve no idea because price was jumping around 10-15 ticks a pop. Then I missed the confirmed breakdown when I stepped out of my office for I swear no more than 20 minutes.

    Later on I saw AAPL pulling back from near the HOD and was eying it for a possible short based on a lower high, but it found support @ the 20-bar EMA and engulfed the pullback bar, so I went long @ 226.02 just before the high, knowing how AAPL loves to break thru resistance, and caught a nice move. I closed out very quickly then didn’t re-enter on the next support at the 20. Missed a much better breakout to new highs. :(

  9. +$707. This was a very painful day for me as my account was down over $1000 for the majority of the day and then around 3:00, it started coming back up.... Just dreadful and stressful, but ended up on a positive note.
