One of the slowest days in weeks. IBKR was a little bit overdone to the down side so I picked up a few shares of that. was Still short CNC but I traded it back and forth. Due to IBs FIFO accounting it appears at a loss. - 1154 for the day + 8572 for the week + 29859 for the month
Not much going on today especially after the open settled down. faded the Gap on AMGN and then watched CNC get weaker by the hour after it moved up. + 501 for the day / week + 30360 for the month
no new trades but I did continue with CNC trades. CNC has moved against me to the point where stop loss will kick in tomorrow if it continues. Its most likely to go my way at the time of stop losses but I am never willing to risk more capital than will not effect my trading. GE and IBKR moved my way today. IBKR moved nicely today. - 310 for the day + 191 for the week + 30050 for the month
Could be better could be much worse. CNC supprised me with the move up in the AM and started to cover to stop loss. Thats is the cause for the loss today. moved back down and continued to buy back shares. shorted again @ 22.90. Finally closed lower than the open which I was happy to see. At the close it started on fire and traded a large amount of shares. The close was bigger than the open. It appeared that someone didnt want the price to go below 22.82 as there was a bid at 22.82 for about 40K shares. normal amount of shares was 100-400 and even 1K was a lot. Holding AVP IBKR and GE overnight. Did make a few dollars with TKC + 53 watchlist JNY EME SBAC AVP TRA CSX BUCY MEE WLT - 2934 for the day - 2743 for the week + 27116 for the month
overall a good day. Had a couple of nice trades and even got lucky with AVP at the open covered AVP from yesterday at 42.01 which was one cent from the bottom at the open. + 119 IDCC gave a fast signal and did not allow for much thinking about it. jumped in and it worked well. + 633 S:6b+ missed a trade or two due to timing. I have (almost) fully programmed blocks software to alert on my main signal and will start testing speed against tradestation in the upcoming week. CNC volume totally dried up. still have a target price of 21 but scalling out while trading it both ways. highly doubtful that i will be able to get out before Tuesday or Wednesday due to lack of volume. I think we see sub 22 tomorrow. - 1965 for the day - 4708 for the week + 22408 for the month
