Nov +9000 Will post yearly performance by the end of the year. Ready to close the book. Do not want to be too aggressive. Already reached my beg of year goal. njrookie
Pretty good day, considering I was going to buy TQQQ and NUGT at the open but overestimated how much cash I had so IB canceled those two orders (or I would have been down today). Also, managed to lose money on AMSC again. Last time it gapped down at the open, so this time I put a sell-on-close order in. Of course, it gapped up and then tanked for the rest of the day. (At least, I sold at the open in another account).

I typically make between -2..+5% a month. So November was definitely an outlier. The market must have been nice to me
Not a good day overall. Gold keeps falling. On top of that IB canceled my MOO order for TMF. They didn't do it, ARCA did but IB put a "bad" limit in my market order. That's how they explained it last time. I'll try using OPG orders again. Not sure if that guarantees 0 slippage. With market orders some times you get negative slippage other times is positive. On average, it's close to zero and I like that. Except I can't always buy TMF on the open.

sorry about that, the day was from December 5, 2012. I copy-pasted from the last post and forgot to change the date. my apologies.
Alas I wasn't trading from downtown Boston today. I finished slightly up like the market despite the carnage in gold miners and Nasdaq.
