second great week in a row. marks 9/9/13 to 9/13/13. this is what happens when you short vol (looks easier than it is) in size and it implodes shortly thereafter.
09/13/16 -$616.50 *** Got caught in the downdraft looking for a turn that never happened. Will take some time off to regroup.
+77 gross I'm calling it early, today. It was a good day. To help get a handle on my overtrading problem, I've decided that for the rest of this week I will only take trades that were planned the night before. This will keep me out of rash, spur of the moment trades.
Hey Chuck Noblet, Overtrading is a huge problem. Maybe try giving yourself only 3 trades per day. That will force you to take only the best set ups...do it for 1 month i bet your P&L will go up huge...with less stress too lol
+9 gross I tried a few things, but nothing went for me, so I took break even on everything. I'm done since it is a Fed day. Yeah, I thought about limiting myself to 3 trades per day. I may do that at some point. I'm going to see how only taking pre-planned trades works out first. Thanks for the advice.

I tried to use Snippet and it's printing out my entire page with account numbers, I don't mind posting the trades for transparency, I am holding my NOK and once I sell it at $7.20 or more, I will post that gain on and AFOP's if I can learn how to do Snippet. I want to thank one of you who helped me with Snippet, if I appreciate your act of kindness and would love to toss ideas around with you. Your cool! Can I get someone to help me figure out the Snippet, I was lucky and bought a stack of AFOP at $37 and sold it after-hours on Monday when the DTC did not send us our shares. Shares of the newly posted AFOP did not arrive until Tuesday. I sold my shares at $23.50, $23.55 and $23.49 I shorted the rest creating a boxed position my broker is working to clean up. Why did I Short Sale my shares in AFOP, Penson, Apex, Etrade and C-cor did not send the 2-1 stock split shares out. I knew the price was over-inflated because the float was still 6,000,000 making it so thin in after-hours the computer buyers testing liquidity drove it to my sell orders at $23.50 and $23.55 and finally selling the rest at $23.395 average. I knew once the DTC sent shares on Tuesday, the float would double making $23 hard to hit. AFOP barely made it to $23.11 and sellers sat selling. What advice would you provide to make things real, how do I post holdings when our gang of bashers and trolls are following me on the Stocks Page? How many Elite Trader Trolls can you hit the Ignore button with? Why do people speak ill of cool people like Market-Surfer, NoDoji, Mr. H, these men have been kind and informative players here. I can see why good traders will not throw anything out for all the Jackals and Hyaenas to tear their teeth into, Message Boards have far too many scavengers with low self-esteem, they deserve to blow up their accounts!
