we do have about 1-2 negative days a month. a normal up day is gross up 10k or so. Ill post some more normal days, that seems fair.
from 11/30/12. Had to wait for a re-org to clear...might have given rallymode a run for his money on this one.
earlybirdstango, I ask a similar question before. Could you please post some summary stats for your group? an equity curve for the group, or mean / stdev of the group based on a year or two years of daily PnL will be nice. As an individual trade that trades from home, I would lover to see how I stack up against the "pro" office. njrookie
Not a bad day at all even if my PnLs are not nearly as exciting as some other people's here I closed most of my longs at the open right before the market rallied higher. Luckily my bearish oil position saved the day. Looks like the market might get weaker over the weekend so I will be turning bearish again.

Someone asked where I trade. I was just joking about downtown Boston - someone in the forum seems to make a killing there every day. I trade a personal account using overnight orders (I have a full-time job so no day trading for me). I mostly use backtested strategies. I have quite a few but some seem to be better than others. I thought I would be in the red today since I shorted S&P and went long APPLdaq which was the exact wrong thing to do. Plus I exited XIV and went long VXX. Let's see how that will pan out on Monday. Not a bad day today overall. At least, shorting treasuries worked and NUGT finally recovered a bit. Still, I left $549 on the table while making only $144. Not my luckiest day.
