-2510/-2.53% Congrats to those that had a good day. Nice to see someone making some serious money. Even my shorts lost money today, but then nothing works every day.
well done! i ended up $-45 today, got pissed off for missing the trend. And made 2 trades in the range. here is my entries. It seemed that i could take small profit with the entry, but it ended up with loss. first short @ 1961.25, stop @ 1962 second long @ 1965 stop @ 1966
Someone pm'ed me a question about why my Gains/Losses screenshot only shows 100 or 200 shares, it is because it is cropped, and would otherwise be about 2 pages long. I attached the actual trade sizes from one of my 20K blocks I traded with. I had broken it up into 2 orders of 10K each, which were charged only as 2 separate commissions, but were more expensive due to AH costs... g
+300/.3%. For those with recent 5 and 6 figure gains, do you also have similar size losses at times? While I look forward to continuing to scale up my trading account as I have over the past year, I also look forward to reducing my risk (at least as a % of my account) by diverting some profits into lower risk strategies.
Sure... I just try to have the profits outweigh the losses. Up 450,000$ on the year, between my Bofa and ETrade accounts. g
Thanks for responding. That's all any of us are trying to do ... and wow! I think I would have a hard time handling 5 figure swings on a daily basis, but then my account is not big enough that I have to worry about that just yet. I'm still getting used to 4 figure swings. At least I'm headed in the right direction and that's what matters.
+21,400 on 296k shares. figured it has been awhile - since I posted. good bounce back after taking -10k loss yesterday ~ Viva la -- $VIX!
