Light trading today since markets were choppy; a few momentum breakouts but no widespread strong trends in sectors, here's my trading round trips closes and P&L for today:





bought MGM and XTXI and SRZ and others into the close, will rebuy on moves through each whole number up

Looks like MGM gapping up here a bit, I'd rebought some into the close yesterday, in both my accounts, will see if it continues up over 14, it's at 13.84 now at 8:30am EST.
Also current in-the-premarket money stocks are XTXI SRZ MPG LVS CMED and others today:



3:46pm Sept 23 2009

Another small day, market chopped around first hour, then spiked up and dropped sharply into the close. I made an erroneous trade, which cost me $69 today, had meant to buy just 70 GBE on the breakout and accidentally entered 3070, then quickly exited 3K for a .02 loss on those, which cost the $69:

Interesting, despite a strong rally open I ended up in the red by a bit, mostly because I was holding small-share short ETFs overnight into the open, got stopped out small on them, as you can see:



"Sometimes in life you're the pigeon, other times you're the statue"; I guess today's small stops made me the statue, ah well the important thing is, keep stops SMALL like I did... so that's good for a lesson learned.

Made a few small wins going long small shares a variety of short ETFs; haven't been trading much the last couple of days. Bought some MGM here for the fidelity position account into the close, very high risk; it's likely going to gap down vs up tomorrow, sharp selling lately; one of the rare times I'm adding to long/wrong positions into the close, for a position trade entry.

I banked another $240 in wins, modest day but good for a Friday, I liked trading the breakouts in SRZ, MBRX and HTZ today:



UPDATE: 3:27pm Nailed another nice winning breakout trade in SRZ, selling 5.17 (3:24pm, banked $76 on this one, woot!), day's total wins now up over $300:

I make money trading and am net profitable, but most traders likely never will.

Wed Oct 28 2009
Testing small-share short ETF trades here, will scale up if/when they continue in my direction:



Strategy note:
Always having a few short ETF shares in play, in their own sub-tab in IB, helps me spot market pivots, eg they'll go down/trail stop out when the market pivots to the long side, so I can then go pay attention to long-side entries in stocks.

My favorite trade: selling the 10.10 near-EXACT top in UAUA this morning... ca-ching! here's the chart, see screencap above for P&L broker proof of the trade:
