It has been a long time since I've been this color. Fricking TTEC takes me out and goes up 2 dollars after stealing my shares. Bitch, bitch, bitch, gripe, gripe, gripe.

I think he is back to the drawing board, will have to reteach him everything starting from tying his toes, er shoes, er laces to blowing his nose....OR I'LL JUST STICK HIS BUTT OUT IN THE SNOW OVERNIGHT..THAT ALWAYS SEEMS TO WAKE HIS FREELOADING ASS UP TO REALITY.
Other stuff: Missed my sit up goal by 55 today, it is always fun to suck air for 5 minutes before you can even roll over. It has snowed a bunch, I tried to build a tunnel to the front door--but it will have to snow a bunch more to get the other side of the tunnel built.

it's yesterday, i'm late and i'm down, again
minus 71.10 Who would have thought 3 little holdings could have moved so much. This morning (as in tomorrow) I was stopped out of TTEC. Now all I have is 100 C and 200 ETFC.
MB trading has my money and told me if I jump through a hoop I could start trading right away. Why do people confuse me with a trained Seal or Dolphin? Anyways with the market tanking at present, I just decided to wait till Friday or Monday to start trading stocks again.
Stupid TTEC has already rebounded a dollar by the time I was typing this!
Robot: make me laugh
33 winners, 10 losers, minus 781.36 been changing his stops, timing, etc. but he is just suffering a complete breakdown.
Other Stuff: Being on the destruction crew (construction) keeps me up late and up early to trade. I taped my menu boards to the wall and told myself it looks good. haha Every wall in the dining room is now striped down to torn and battered dry wall, we ended up calling a professional to refinish the walls for the wall paper.
Fantasy Calls: A stranger from the past showed up while I was in remodeling mode. We talked a little while, and on the way out she blows me a kiss. Always skeptical, I think it is because I gave her a bag of chips for free. She isn't on the list--but she is best friends with a girl on the list. And this time folks it wasn't just a dream--er was it?

minus 25 dollars today, just watching my account dwindle down. I expect that the markets won't be able to bounce off their trend lines. Just a feeling, seems like they are rolling over more than coming off a high this time. Eh, what do I know? Couldn't even find the magic eight ball, oh wait, I don't even own one.
Stood in awe of the Rockstar who took APOL puts before they reported--some people just have a touch.
Robot: Think he needs to be melted for scrap.
29 winners, 9 losers, minus 585.24 changed him to 2 contracts, his stop to 15 and then again to 25. His profit to 5 and then a 5 point trail up to 20 points
Other stuff: It's snowing again. Yesterday I missed my # of sit ups by 60, the time before was 80, but that 60 cost me 5 minutes of crashed on the floor sucking air.
Fantasy calls: yep, in my mind Barbie is just inches away from true love.

Down 23 dollars today.
Robot: 22 winners, 5 losers, minus 240.02
Somewhere in the middle of the day I changed his stop loss from 40 to 25.
Other stuff: Not much up there, huh? I had to leave in the middle of the day to talk to a wallpaper dude about how a wall should look before he could put up wall paper. Should have taken a picture to show how terrible my walls look. It should be about 4 or 5 solid days to get my walls ready if I did the work, so we've called in a pro to give us a bid. And if it is a lot, I'm gonna be mud and taping and sanding till my arms are all buffed out like the hulk.
Tried to upload an 11 second video today, and it only took 6 hours, but hey with my blurry camera work, poor sound quality, and generally a lack of any kind of direction, I'd say it was pretty easy to get this up. On the first try too!! Where those pictures below took two or three tries.
I salvaged some trim work from the remodel, and someday will put it up in my home. I stacked all this wood inside my car with it overhanging out the passenger window, just far enough to spear any one walking on the sidewalk. After unloading my used and abused bounty, my car window decides not to go up. The next day I'm outside in the snow with my door panel ripped off, smacking the hell out of my window. I gave up after an hour of cussing and realizing my hammer seemed to have some kind of fix it flaw. I put the door back together and resigned my self to going to the dealership to have the window fixed, or tape up the garbage bag to the side of my car. But after the door is back on the window starts going up--3/4 of the way, I start cheering and it stops. I just couldn't believe it, a few minutes later and another push on the button and it squeezes up the last part. Another lucky day!

I'm down $35. Looking at those trend lines on the dow, s&p, and nasdaq it all looks so easy just to follow the channel and makes tons of money. One of these days I'm gonna do just that.
I have been spending way too much time playing with opening a new account with a broken quote tracker, ended up doing payroll during my trading hours. I should have been playing the futures this week, I had no need to withdraw any more money this week. Next week is another story, the construction crew will most likely start working, and depending on the delivery dates, they could be done soon.
M.B. got a deposit, but they won't tell you if you are approved for futures until after they cash your check-pretty bogus.

yep, I'm down. And I posted two blogs, one said i, and the other said red. Trying to make them shorter I guess.
I finally have Quote Tracker working on my back up broker. Let's talk about these people--I almost took them off my links on the right after a week of trying to get QT to connect. Quote Tracker was much better when it was free. For them I sent many files, did a complete disaster recovery on my computer, etc, etc, etc, my broker has locked me out 4 times from repeated log ins to see if QT would work. 5 days later I ask if my special character in my password could be causing the non connect problem. They tell me not a chance, and then tell me it would be easy enough to change my password and see. I CHANGE THE CHARACTER OUT OF MY PASSWORD AND QT CONNECTS, YOU WOULD THINK THAT SINCE THEY CHARGE FOR THEIR SERVICE NOW THAT THEY WOULD GET OFF THEIR BUTT AND ALREADY KNOW THAT THEIR PROGRAM COULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE CHARACTER THAT I USED. And yes they received the same message from me today. It's a love hate relationship ( they loved my check, and now they hate me)
Robot: 3 winners, 2 losers, minus 356.30
He was stuck in a trade for 4 hours, and finally got out at a loss, then went long on a bounce. The bounce was just before the market tanked before the close, and so posted his second loss.
Other Stuff:
Today really moved in slow motion. I thought it was already Midnight at 7 p.m. At 7 I took a 5 hour nap and woke up at 8 p.m. It snowed for real today, and I did a little dance that I have a working furnace. Is it just me, or is it tough to spell words?

He got interrupted a lot while I was trying to load Quote Tracker for my back up computer. Shut down twice, missed the take your profit while the computer was off, etc, etc. But this was his numbers, so the loss. And still no Quote Tracker on the back up--even after a full disaster recovery. But IB Quote Tracker runs on the backup.
Other stuff: Interviews for a new manager. Had a total of 8 people apply for the one position. Gotta disappoint 7 people. I yelled at all of the first group for not getting up and helping out when the store was busy, told them there is no excuse for not helping a customer and they were all trained to stop what they were doing and help customers. I"M SO MEAN! eh whatever.

Down 34. I have nothing to say really, spent the day playing with Quote Tracker for my new account. QT's multiple log in attempts would lock me out of my account for too large a # of repeated attempted log ins. Talked with QT reps all day long. In the end(now) I did a total system restore to get things working. I hope I'm not wasting another day loading programs for nothing!

All my little chores are just causing me to leave my passion and it really is starting to cost. I toasted java on my backup-I went to loading java 6, it failed and reason 25099 said do this which toasted all of my java and left me with nothing and no way to download. Did some system restores but those would not fix it. So I transferred my java files from my main computer to the backup and in only 2 tries I have java back. Now I'm doing 11 windows updates to catch up to all the system restores and how far I went back.
Fingers crossed it all works on the restart.
Have mb running on my main--playing with the fake account so i can learn how to use their platform.
Java is working again--sweet

Market is up big, and my 4 holdings brought in some money. Still not trading, because of the three days needed to settle and I have to take out money for the remodel. Today's withdraw brought me below the 10k minimum IB wants for an account. But the loop hole is once you have an account you can be below 10 grand, this amount is only required to open an account. So now I sit around and see if they tell me they are going to close my account. I won't be selling any of my holdings so hopefully my account won't be closed on me.

It's been over 24 hours and I'm still ranting about it. And I'm still mad, mad, mad. It is not the first time of being asked for codes, nor is it the first time the inspectors were told not to touch our registers, ever, period. In the past some inspector actually downloaded programs, crashed the register and cost me 3K to have it replaced.

For some reason today I seemed afraid to trade, I only made two trades on the YM. Maybe last week shook me up. I know that I bought on highs today, minutes after I told myself not to buy at these levels something just suckered me in. I think it was a GS daily high alert or something that caused me to buy the YM even higher than the first time I said don't buy that here. While I had to suffer through the down side, all the while calling myself stupid, Robot pulled off bunches of trades.
But--had it been just a few days earlier I would have exited at a loss--I hung on and let this trade ride into a winner. It turns out that "maybe" my stops have been so tight (60$ on any trade) that I ended up just churning a lot of trades.
Robot: 23 winners, 1 loser, profit 282$
Dejavu-yesterday's numbers. Robots last trade had to be called. He was in the trade for over an hour, I let it run into after hours on hopes he could exit it, but I had other things to do, so I'm just calling that trade a loser. I had always believed that some stocks moved so much in a range that you could pull a dime out of the move almost no matter what. That is how I began to build Robot's brain.
The good news--two days in a row Robot has posted these great numbers showing these small profits could add up to making money--the other news---
It seems like once my Robot gets in tune with the market that their super computers change their programing and it could take a month for my way of thinking to work again. This has happened before, Robot was doing great and all of a sudden things just changed. Today I mostly starred at Robot and what he was doing.
Other Stuff: I learned how to put music on my videos
It gets rid of that noisy moving the camera around noise! Now if I could just get my zoom to work while the movie is on again, oh and do something about the blurry pictures. Still working out! That p90x stuff really wants you to contort your body something terrible. My biggest brag is that now I can make it through the warm ups without collapsing.

It gets rid of that noisy moving the camera around noise! Now if I could just get my zoom to work while the movie is on again, oh and do something about the blurry pictures. Still working out! That p90x stuff really wants you to contort your body something terrible. My biggest brag is that now I can make it through the warm ups without collapsing.
Fantasy Calls: It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely world. sob, sob, sob, aaaaaaaaaa

I'm Green
I'm up just over a hundred dollars. For some reason I just stopped trading midday. It might have been that last trade went bad by 80$ before it went good, which worried me about losing the day's profits. So I played with the Robot and made him a video star. It is blurry-but hey. Most of his trades run in about two or three minutes.
Robot: 23 winners, 1 loser, profit 277.76
The one losing trade cost him 200$ in profits, I thought it would be difficult to ever miss the trade by 40 points-but it happened. His day went up to +190 to down 10 or 20 then he built it back up to the plus 277. Kinda proud of him. I let him make two trades for me today, then I got worried about the embedded stochastics and turned him off live. That was about the time of his losing trade. I thought about giving him a break when the stochs looked bad, but he just needs to trade to develop his brain.
Oh, all of the programs for Robot are free--Quote Tracker(running on paint bar alerts), Bracket Trader, and some others listed on Boogsters blog, or at HPT's blog(which make Robot send out the emails to buy and sell).
Other Stuff: There is no other stuff, I'm just addicted to trading. Today is payroll which means my day will start at 7am and end at midnight--(oh waaaaa, Bob!)
Fantasy calls: ahahahahahaha

I'm Green
I ah was down 450$ today, man o man was I depressed. Before the close I put on one ym contract. Came back to check my stocks, run the gorilla, change stops, listen to day trading radio. AND, AND, AND, AND--MY YM IS UP 102 POINTS--AT 5 DOLLARS A POINT--I'M GREEN--I'M GREEN.
I watched it for about 5 minutes and then sold the thing. The whole day I kept saying why can't I get this thing to go my way big. I made about 14 round trips in ym to lose that 400 dollars. It was the same old story sell low buy high. My first three trades were winners-after that things fell apart.
My greeness is only about 70$, but getting out of that 450$ loss and being green gave me back a little smile!
Robot: 18 winners, 3 losers, plus 175.54
I changed him over to a profit taking at 5 points and a stop at 40 points. His stop use to be 20 points, but the three losers, so I upped it to 40 points. It would be a huge loss if it went wrong, but 40 points is a lot to go wrong, and with just 5 points to get out.
Lets just say that after this change every trade was a win. I noticed that he can also put on three or 4 trades an hour, and at 20$ for a win, it would be 60 or 80 dollars an hour. On paper it all looks great-real money is always different. But I had talked about how my trades with the Robots exits made money while I was losing money, the reason for this was Robot was grabbing 20 dollar bills and I was saying go higher and kept watching my profits slip away.
Other stuff: Tonight's workout was not that hard, guess I was just dogging it. Wrote a lot, huh? Still have that dug my self out of a hole smile on. Quite a big hole too, yep it was a nice one, sure hope I stop digging holes soon. With my deflated accounts--alright I'm just whining. And I'm a green so I'm happy..... anyways.....

Lost about 250$ today. Really kinda sucks, as losing money always does. It seems I got the direction of the market backwards a lot today. My trading went like this up 50$, down 250$, up 10$, down250$, up 20$, and finally down 250$. Once I had both the es and ym on and I let 150$ in profits just drift away. Sometimes I wish I was smarter, or just more in tuned to what the hell I'm doing.
Started the first of withdrawing my money today. (I need to remodel a store) This bit of funding for my company sucks. But , after my bank turned down the loan for the company, what I was left with was some one charging what amounted to 80% in finance charges over 3 years. There is just no fucking way I'm gonna pay that kind of interest charges.
Will be opening a new account with mb next week (with futures of course, I have to be able to exit positions without government restrictions) And I believe I have found a loop hole to keep my ib account even with it below the 10k minimum balance. At least I hope I read that correctly-everything I have set up is running from ib feeds. I'll find out next week.
Trading the es and ym should give me plenty of opportunities to still beat my daily goal, even with a drastically reduced account balance. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Robot: 13 winners, 4 losers, plus 222.58
He mostly traded on my cues, but he made money, mostly because he would grab a profit on a down turn while I would just sit there and watch my profits dwindle away. Robot might have to change to cyborg--where I call the trades and he calls the exits--huh a manual robot--why that's not even a robot.
Other stuff: The phase two of my inane attempt to attract Barbie by building muscles involved one arm push ups as normal sets. Both of us just stared at the instructor thinking wtf are you talking about. Todays workout is just normal kill me, while tomorrow is a new actually will kill you workout in phase two. Can't wait
Fantasy calls: No calls---I'm still a kegger, or is it just me ?

Beat my daily goal
Sweet, another day in the green. Only had 4 trades 1 in the ES and 3 in YM. In the past I've traded a lot more on the ES, but it just feels like the YM is easier to keep a profit.
Robot: 15 winners, 7 losers, minus 247.24
Teaching him the YM is gonna be harder than I thought. He seems to grab his entry a little bit late and half the move is over by the time he jumps in. His settings are a stop of 20 and a win of 7. You really have to juggle all parts of his brain to get him to trade with a sense of decency (you know, making a profit)
Other stuff: Soon it's workout time, gotta go find my book, cause this week it's move up to phase two. Hope I live through it.
Fantasy calls: In my delusions someone could be stalking me. Let the fun begin!

doubled my daily goal
I'm a green today. My overnight es short was great, but I let 400$ in profits slip away. I kept starring at it going up just saying it is supposed to go down. I should remember-THINKING IS NOT ALLOWED IN THIS GAME-seriously.
My broker went down for a half hour today. While my broker is down I've got another es short on. It is covered by a stop loss. But I was holding a profit and had not changed my stop to keep my profit intact. Panic, and then watching Day Trading Radio who usually always has the es up made me realize the es was dropping. But then when the feed comes back on the stupid es spikes a point or more..I can't believe I was up 100$ and as soon as it's possible to grab my money it spikes up. But after a few minutes of cussing the es drops again and I grabbed 4 points.
Yeah
Robot: 27 winners, 7 losers, minus 138$.
I don't think he can trade the es. His brains were trained on appl. But since me and the sec don't get along, Robot needs to learn how to trade the futures. Cause we are just too bogus to trade stocks. I think I'll try and teach Robot to trade the ym futures this weekend.
Other stuff: i don't exist (just how do you spell that word?)
Fantasy calls: I guess i don't exist--so am i alive?

Down again, sigh. Only have 5 stocks left that I have not been stopped out of yet, none have profits.
I have an ES short on for overnight, hoping the employment numbers are terrible and I'll be rich tomorrow. Or I'll just be poorer. Eh whatever.
Robot: 17 winners, 8 losers, minus 656$.
We just talked about this, his trickery to get you to think he is doing good and then blow out your account. (trickery--got that word from one of those phony email scams)
Me and the girls: uh huh huh what
