If you could verify my times are right I would appreciate it so I'm not trying to read something into these patterns if I'm staring at the wrong ones. I appreciate you keeping this thread going and would love to see you post more of your futures trades. -JPB [/B][/QUOTE] The times are correct in Eastern.
Seanote - I'm thankful for your posts but I did like the per trade results in points vs your P/L in $. By posting in points gained/lost it was easier for the average reader to translate that into their own notion of size. With $ it becomes slower and a little more difficult reading to translate the result based on the number of shares for that particular trade. I don't know what the right words are but it seems that reporting $ gained/lost puts a damper (or one step removed) from the purity of your plays. However I appreciate this is your forum and this may be easier but I thought I would share my thoughts on it. Also I'm sure there are a number of people that are looking for $$ and cent's numbers and they will be drooling over the actual numbers. Witness the frequent posts to the boards asking "I'm just starting out - How much can I make a week day trading/swing trading, etc?". Some how it seemed a little more professional to post in points. Can't really put my finger on why exactly but just my opinion. Thanks for your posts and I look forward to reading more of them - whether they are in $ or points. - David I
