Hey James!  I have read a lot of your posts in the other sections, very insightful!  Thanks for the monitor info!

Closed out CMG while on the road, went to visit some friends at Rose Hulman college.  Just going to play around a little with futures tonight, will report how I do in the morning.  Happy Trading HSM! 

Alright just caught some futures trades.  Traded ES for $137 profit and CL for $330 profit.  CL caught 96.33 and sold at 96.66, it might run more, but I am happy with my takings for about an hour haha, night HSM

I am not updating my futures trades in the closed trades part on the 1st post of the whole thread, rather not keep track of them other than in my note book

I keep a notebook of my trades so I can look to see where I went wrong etc...

I prefer pen and paper to Excel sometimes even though I am only 19 haha

sold 1 /CL at 96.72, looking for a quick move back down a bit here

so short basically

out at 96.76, going to sleep for REAL this time, small loss

looking, stalking MCD for a move up

Thanks! 

Sorry fellas...I am back.

Updated everything...new positions up on my open trades. 

Deleted my closed trades cause I had lost track of them.  So will restart that part of the thread.

As you can see, I have taken $2,332 out.  So basically I am at $10,874 right now, but my actual account balance with my broker is $8,542. 

sorry fellas I am out everything except

40 contracts weekly AAPL 560 calls at 1.56 avg, working VERY VERY VERY well right now... will update everything tonight and post a write up of the day

out all, +$11,200 today.  SWAG

took some speculative BBY puts earlier in the day too, they report tomorrow and I figure they will miss.  but earnings are a crap shoot

thanks farmer!  yeah i trade at a super high risk level.  it's pretty dumb lol.  take big size then cut the losers quick and let the winners run...worked today, but I know its playing with fire

scared money dont make no money!

just took out $1251 from my acct

added 10 more BBY puts

took 20 JPM 32 weekly puts at .61
