Trader P/L 2012

Another flat day for me. Somehow, being bearish did not help much today. At least, XIV is always a safe bet, lol.

Lost my sense for trading big because of that one week break. I lost -$48 in my paper trading account today. And i still let some positions open which i hope can help me to cover the loss and maybe take some profit tomorrow.
-$48



Overall i've had 6 positive days and with this one two ' - ' days.

 

Another flattish day. I exited my bearish positions at the open and the market started falling. Better luck next time. Turning bullish tomorrow.

You are so honest to say your account is a paper account, so many posters on this thread are dishonest. they never tell ET that they are paper trading. They just throw in profits of "$6,893" or "$5.423" here or there, trying to impress others.

 

+596 today.
overtraded unfortunately but happy to be up on a wild day (ES, CL).

 

Despite the "huge" loss in AMSC (they guided lower), it was a great day for me. I even made money buying gold that was down from yesterdays close but opened even lower.

-829
rough but was actually twice this amount, at which point i scaled down contract size and made some better trades.

 

Flat day. Short oil, long gold was the wrong strategy today. Hopefully, AMSC won't gap down huge on Monday like it did on my last trade.
