As I suspected the Doom(tm) was bought for an up Monday, probably with good probability. I bet as much in Dave's Call the Dow poll. Congrats to all who called Bear and thanks to all who played along.  I battled it out with ATT & the DSL gang, and finally am reconnected reliably and at a higher speed. All is well.  No trades today and I'm sort of upset that I didn't get MOBI in the lower 9's - it may go and retest there and I'll be watching but I really wanted to pick some up.  Hope everyone made some money today and will do so on Monday. Members, please post your results along with your RDA of smileys!  |

Well considering how the day started, I had a very nice day - up more than 1% on the day and now ONLY down 2% YTD. Pretty much all on the back of LVS. Had some nifty scalps and some fortunate legging of rolls into next week. Thought about buying VXX puts again but decided to wait until next week.

My timing was great...should have played much larger amounts.
Sold the shorts I bought yesterday in pre-market today for little more than 1% portfolio gain. Not bad I guess considering I used less than 20% of portfolio on those. Because of a 3 day hold account, using 20% day trades keeps me with 20-40% cash at all times.
Only bought one position on PCX today. Had more buy orders out there, but no one wanted them I guess.
Have a great weekend everyone! Beautiful weather around me next few days, so getting ready to take the boat out and go salmon fishing on Lake Michigan.

Gotta add one more thing since I had a pretty good week, hell, last 5 weeks. So I gotta give big props to Hammondkeys. All of the TA methods I use I learned from watching his posts for years now. I am just using the same methods on a smaller scale for these scalp trades while the market is in this volatile area. Hate to sound like a blatant Hammond promoter, but if you are trying to learn TA trading, you should be watching all of his videos. That "call the close poll" call I had today I saw with a small iH&S on the 2 minute, which also put it right to the top range of a potential bear flag for Monday. I posted a chart at: fastopia.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=exchange&thread=23546&page=1Just can't thank or exalt Hammond enough. And he was giving away these secrets long before he started an optional donation website. |

Days like today serve as a great reminder of why I rarely hold anything overnight. Started the day -$530 Ended the day -$19.00  No trades. Risk-Management angel on my right shoulder whispered into my ear that I should take the damn papercut loss and be ready for Monday. I realized she was right, but I decided to ignore her anyways.  I've now traded 27x the size of my account  but am up 15.2% ytd |

Was a decent day after a long time...
closed 6K long VXX shares at 20.75 (b/e was 21.3x)
sold additional 32 (only 32 out of 50 got filled) VXX 21 calls for 10 cents.
92 VXX naked calls should expire worthless.
So with this setup I was able to just salvage my long 6K VXX position..
