Hello sparkwise, Thanks, very cool of you to take the time to give your encouragement!!!! I wish you the best in trading and have a great weekend as well. Respectfully, Bob
1R, do you use a stock screener like trade-ideas or anything to decide which stock you want to trade that day? I used to be a Trade-Ideas customer but it just confused me. I ended up trading futures and a staple of about 30 stocks that I'm familiar with.
Not much today but I did scalp a large amount of shares. Traded the HSI and SPI last night (not counted in this PnL) YM + 600 NRG + 361 QQQQ + 191 + 1153 for the day / week + 17738 for the month 184600 shares 721,922 shares mth
Hello Polpolik, Yes, I use Tradestation radar to scan for setups. I am also testing out blocks. Best to you Bob
really good day.started out trading the QQQQs at the open which went well. moved on to the airlines and scalped and traded them. might have been a better idea to get more greedy with the trades but timing is so important if your putting on large size. CAL + 107 scalped UAUA + 1151 scalped and S:6b NWA + 941 scalped and S:6b (altered) +2818 for the day + 3971 for the week + 20556 for the month 102000 shares 823,922 shares / mth
Wow, 1R, that's a boatload of UAUA shares you traded. And to think I saw your eyebrows rise when I said I was going to short 2000 shares after my earlier 200-share trade :eek:
what a crazy day. the market sold off like people hated stocks. I did grab a little bit of it with selling some QQQQ OTM puts. I am not happy with my trading today. Was too aggressive too quickly with UAUA and then walked away too slow on the first run up but too fast on the second run up. I will be glad when I get to do more shorting from overboughts on a regular basis so that I will have a better feel. I did trade last night in both the HSI and SPI and made a small amount but not counting in PnL in this journal traded a lot of shares again today. I bought some RICK as a swing/long term trade @ 6.70 sold QQQQ NOV 27 puts @ 1.03. swing trade UAUA + 1561 S:6b QQQQ + 72 faded the open NWA + 303 based on inter day movement fade CAL 108 S:6b + 2046 for the day + 6017 for the week + 22602 for the month 118000 shares 941,922 shares / mth
Great day. traded most of the day. Traded both to the short side and the long side. I also made a few bucks again in the HSI and SPI last night (until my wife said lets watch a movie, watched the movie with her and then traded some more....LOL) I did close out of RICK but put in another bid around the $6 price point. Watched GE float around 18 and thought it would break but it didnt. Thinking about writting some puts if it does fail 18 on a spike down as I think its about as safe of stock as you can buy in long term still short nov QQQQ 27 puts. down a small amount but still lovin it RICK + 92 PLD + 80 LUK + 137 ESI + 236 DDR + 786 CTXS + 493 CBL + 122 CBG + 266 (traded this both long and short) + 2215 for the day + 8232 for the week + 24817 for the month 36670 shares 978,592 shares mth
