I regret using a dog as my avatar. Should have used a picture of a woman instead...

May be my name skc actually stands for Sexy Kinky Chick.

I bet you I'd get a much stronger following on my threads :D

Hi guys,

My power got knocked out from the wild
storms...just got it back.

My last trade was closed out by my
broker for a 6 point loss.

So not my best day but tomorrow is
another day.

Hope your having a laugh mate.
Asian markets pushing up. You purportedly shorting spi all the way up. Thats awesome. Very perceptive in your trading:rolleyes:

Looking forward to your analysis and upcoming trades:headshake

I tend to agree, I find it slightly amusing that even though there are some bad trading practices being used there is little or no heat being put on those aspects. I would take most of what is being posted in here with a grain of salt as I am also having trouble believing 10 contracts are getting filled without some major slippage at some of the times trades are taken.

Today is the sort of day that day-traders live for - an early low/high followed by a all day trend in the other direction with Asian markets showing the way but TG was trying to short it all day - not one long:confused: Today is the type of day a good trader could have taken 40-50 points (probably more) out of the market with only a couple of trades, instead TG has spent over $1k on brokerage going in the opposite direction to the trend. And therein lies the problem of have a 10 point stop trying to scalp 4-5 points out of the market.

As bad as today was for TG it could have actually been alot worse, on 3 of the trades (2 of which were wins) the SPI went 8 or 9 points against TG which means the day could of been 30+ points worse. And in all 3 of these trades the position was held for over 20mins while the trade was going against the trader, this is not good trading.

I have attached todays chart of the SPI with TG's trades to give some context to what I'm saying (please note the times on the chart are for my local time which will be different to the majority).

To me this thread offers very little unless we see some discussion about the emotions, mistakes, improvements, analysis (both before the market opens and after it closes), reviews put in place etc etc of each trading day, otherwise it is little more then a record of trades which is boring as hell and absolutely useless to everyone:2twocents

It's about time you lot showed up. I have been waiting for input from recognised and experienced traders of the spi. I found it amazing the OP was able to get all trades filled quickly, post details in here and on tweet and be able to exit same and post the details in less that 3 minutes.

In the space of a week we are expected to belive TG graduated from complete novice doing paper trades, to one of the top 10% that can survive trading spi profitably (But thats okay because I belive in santa and the tooth fairy as well).

No mention of who the broker is, brokerage or commission rates and only one transaction out of 44 closed out by the broker. Should TG be reasonably expected to post a summary of trades from her broker to substantiate the transactions?
 
This thread is starting to liven up.......... love the new avatars! Maybe I should get rid of the cat.........
 
I'm wondering if this is the same person who pops up every now and again declaring they trade some SPI related product.

Last time it was 20 lots of SPI options, only for the exchange records showing nothing of the sort was transacted.
