The Piker Trading Journal, Gains-Losses.

Discussion in 'Journals' started by JesseJamesFinn1, May 28, 2020.

  1. 5/28/2020 I am challenging myself to trade smaller accounts more aggressive and take time off my PDT accounts, no more 40,000 shares of MARK until my life issues change for the best or worse. To avoid over-trading, by posting these gains I pray I can tweak any stupid habits that creep in.

  3. I bought some ZS $95 Calls for $1, sold them for $1.40-$1.50. Watch them go to $2 or $5. Due to life's crap, this is enough for today's gain on a $5000 account.
    5/29/2020

    I know the gain is not super, I don't need more than $100 a day to live like a god in my trailer park.

  4. According to Margin rules I have no day trades for IBKR until Tuesday. One trade on Tuesday, 2 on Thursday. IBKR account is up over $700 unrealized after I bought audc $35 July Calls, added FSLY $36 (90 shares), 500 shares of PRTS at $6.44 and C @ $50.3, FB August $220 @ $18.
     
  5. Interesting exercise but I'd feel handcuffed by PDT. Good luck!

    IBKR IS UP ON CARRY OVER GAINS .

    PRTS IS UP $.83 ON 500 SHARES, AUDC JULY $35 CALLS ARE UP FROM THE SPIKE OF $36 TO $38.98, FB IS UP $6 ON THE AUGUST $220 CALLS. FSLY NOT MOVING MUCH HIGHER, DDOG AND NVDA ARE SLUGS.

    DDOG AND FSLY ARE NOT SLUGS, SORRY FSLY, YOU ROCK, MY BAD!

  9. ZM has been a great trader for both day trades and short term swings

  10. I don't understand why my friend shorted ZM today at $190, different trades for different people? Same with ZS, I mentioned it to my friend in Texas as a easy ($105 stock by Friday, its at $107.8) he shorted ZS at $96 thinking the Market was going to collapse. Why do people short strong All-Time High Stocks?
