I'm just lettin "da mods" know ahead o'time dat you may see me cxl'n orders a couple/few times in me quest to git my tawget sell on IMAX. Luckily it stayed down at the 3.35 area into da close yesterday so I didn hasta play witme buy order. I also tried ta git HANS balow $25 twice! But da 5 minute delay cost me 3% each time so I just cxl'd dat trade n said screw it! This SIM POS makes this much mo difficult than real $$$ trading. If IMAX trades to 3.65, which is my goal for this trade....in real $$$ I would be able to either set a limit or set a stop. Da SIM makes ya try and time what's gonna happen in da next 5 minutes and I think dat sux personally. Anyhoo, if you see my trade cxl'd 3 or 4 times on IMAX it's because I'm trying to time da SIM in what will probly be a volatile stock. I doan need ta cheat ta finish in da top 3 every munth.   |

Looks like my take on IMAX was right on tawgut. I had ta settle fo 3.50 sumthin cause even though I sold the open and shoulda got me tawget outty....da SIM is delayed by 20 minutes. In reality, ya git whatever da stock is trading fo 5 minutes after you click sell during live trading fer Naz stocks. You git da dead on price fer NYSE and AMEX stocks. Basically because o'da delay it was me dat wassa cheated to da tune o'about 3% on me IMAX trade. Tain no biggie. I'm still gonna kick everybudy's butt this munth.  Put it this way....yer gonna need 20%+ to win this munth.    |

Hmm your confidence is outstanding considering .... 82 trades already  , that’s either allot of Grim mistakes , or your just too uncertain to trust anyone stock pick?

BS! Da VIX wassa tradin above 9.95 for at least 15 mins after 3 PM so I thunk I'd stawt banking gains...and makin up some ground cause of SIM mistakes earlier in the day that cost me 3%+. Instead da freakin SIM never shows da VIX trading above 9.74! Luckily I cxl'd 3 other trades bafo they wassa executed, udderwise it would have really cost me. Just lettin everybody know ahead o'time dat I'll be cheatin on the open to make up fer da SIM's mistakes!  |

Oh I know what I did and when I did it. The VIX is coming down to a buy signal...for it to be bullish da VIX will have to selloff. Therefore, the play was to sell any VIX long positions that generate a gain of 2%+ on the day because of a premature rally before the signal comes in. I actually decided to not only sell more positions showing a profit but I went ahead and sold the 35K I bought at a 4-7% premium cause o'da stankin SIM!  It didn trade through 10.00 for at least 5 minutes after it got above 9.90...so I had time to see the results of my initial sells when da VIX was in the 9.90's and I was clickin off long positions. My first fill was at 9.84 and my port still showed da VIX trading at 9.70...the chawt was up to date and well into the 9.90's. I CXL'd 3 sells when I saw that....I got one of em cxl'd wit less than 30 seconds left to do it in all likelihood....damn I'm good! If I received the fills I actually clicked off on....just on da VIX alone....I'd be posi 3%+ overall at the close since I also sold more ARTX above 2.60 today. Doan matta none...I'll still finish with a double digit gain fo da munth...watch. |
