Hectic morning in the market

It’s a strange morning today. A flurry of activity and high volume but also all sorts of various different issues:
1. Lots of bad prints2. QCharts hanging, restarted and showing different data3. Orders not getting filled4. Massive slippage on orders that did5. Stuck data and P&L in TWS
I had several candidates, probably too many and a […]

Wed Trades

Another choppy day which started weak and ended up. I tried to short YHOO, twice and that didn’t work. I also went long LLTC but decided to skip AVNR. This turned out to be an unfortunate choice as LLTC just barely stayed above entry and AVNR would have been a nice gain. Anyway the end […]

Tuesday trades

It was a choppy day with small range consolidation. It didn’t help that I screwed up on the early part by missing out and then chasing EMC. I was busy with other stuff and paid the price - 2R’s on 2 trades. My mistake. The other trade was short AMTD which managed to cover for […]

Babak’s blog contest has ended and.. I’ve won the prize :-) Should be really interesting to check out the Setiment Trader site. Looks like some serious research has gone into it.

Titanic DNA

Very nice watch introduced by Romain Jerome at the recent watch exhibition in Basel. It’s not only called after the Titanic but actually is made in part from steel and coal recovered from the ship over a decade ago, before the ship became protected. Prices range from “just” $7,800 to over $100K.
