Depends on how much I gained/lost the day before........ : o ) When I start crossing over 150K I start to pull money out of the account. (Not on a 1 to 1 basis)
Was able to get some sleep last night. I guess that means that I don't have a good excuse for staying with URS again overnight. I did scalp and trade it during the day. Was up during the first hour of trading and was looking to get more than it offered. - 1633 Rest of the day went fine but was very conservative and today was not the day to do that except with LVS. I didn't have a normal short signal but it was up over 40% and when the downgrade came over the wire I jumped in to short as I felt profit taking would keep it from going higher so it only had one direction to go. I didn't hang around long enough to make some really nice money with the trade but again it wasn't a normal short for me to begin with + 685 UAUA + 956 S:6b GFIG + 29 S:h CLX + 72 ( this is one that I should have made a lot more with but didn't want to hold long enough) S:6b CI + 216 S:H CCL + 176 S:H CBL + 13 S: POS stock CAL + 328 S:6b (again should have followed the rules and stayed with it) + 845 for the day + 7029 for the week + 34,260 for the month 53,200 shares 1,159,792 shres / mth
Took a hit with URS and closed it out. didn't act like I thought it would so I am walking away. - 605 Didn't have much for signals today but was able to make a few trades for small size ZION + 100 S:2pm6bw SI + 35 S: scalped on news GGP + 174 S: scalped on news - 295 for the day / week / month 13000 shares
nice to see the market in the up mode again. Its a lot easier for me to make money. took a hard stop loss with ADM which of course thumbed its nose at me afterwards. ADM was actually more than one trade. first being a loser and the second I made up for some of the first. - 2347 TI + 4 CX + 6 CLWR + 7 AGP + 510 S:H ZION + 2418 S:6b and 6b+ + 600 for the day + 305 for the week / month 47584 shares 60584 shares / mth
made a stupid mistake with DRYS and while it took longer than it should to correct and get out I did so and learned something from it. Made a few bucks shorting HSI when it was up about 5% on the election results (news reason not mine) Other than a couple of trades it was a very slow day DRYS - 2403 S: news / should have gone short instead of long. YHOO + 374 S: news CBL + 255 S: POS stock - 1773 day - 1468 for the week / month 20200 shares 80784 shares mth
