WSE put to the test

[wallstreetsedge]

so... some people think i'm only paper trading or i recommend trades and don't respond when they don't go in my favor so let me show my cards here...

starting monday, in one of my less frequently traded accounts, ill post a screen shot with my executed trades for the day at the end of every trading session. youll be able to see the symbols, prices, and how many.

my only limitations for this one will be that i will not spend more than $20k on any trade to show that anyone can do it

let the games begin!!

[wallstreetsedge]

didnt do much today in this account so not much to show today...

today really pissed me off too because i was looking at STP

was going to buy STP CI for 6.20 at the ask and the stock was up 3% so i backed off hoping for a pull back.. before you know it.. its at 7.20, then 8.00, and just doesnt stop.. blah who knew

didnt get a chance to do much today.. got tied up by 11 so i didnt even get a chance to exit my positions

i had some cmg that i bought a a few days ago that i sold along with the buy yesterday - overall i took a small loss here. my cost average was 11.52 so took about a $462 loss here

we'll stick the opened/closed positions that i created yesterday 2/11

for the purpose of this test...
realized loss for the day is $450


starting test portfolio value: $20,000
portfolio realized value: $19,550

[wallstreetsedge]

i just realized you cant see the whole cmg ca symbol so i extended it..

started $20,000
realized value $19,550 or -2.25%
unrealized value $21,270 or +6.35%

no trades in this acct today


i did however play BRLC today in another account, bought 10000 shares at 89 cents and sold at $1, then bought 10000 shares again at 89 cents and holding through the weekend.. looking fr $1.25

[microhedge]

And I thought MaryKay's math was arbitrary... :rolleyes2:

[AJLightning]

jibberish...5 out of 6 days said something to the effect of "didn't do much today"...





:hmmmm2::dontknow::hmmmm2:

[wallstreetsedge]

if you read the first post, i wrote that i wouldnt go above the 20k starting position in the acct

[wallstreetsedge]

someone was asking me about the kind of results i make and i thought of this post... so i thought about doing this again with one of my small accts.. is there any interest?

[Riddicks]

Yes. I would be interested in following. Even though I don't know anything about options, its always nice to see examples.

[wallstreetsedge]

yesterday was my best trading day of all time....

heres how i faired, for some reason the image kept coming up small when i would post the whole screen but here i zoomed in so you can see it clearly...

3522



im going to move all of my money out of my tradestation account and leave $25k so that everyone can see how i fair even in this crap market lol

[wallstreetsedge]

i think it takes into consideration the commission charges.. im not 100% but ill double check it later

[rawbeef006]

thanks WSE, i do appreciate the information

[wallstreetsedge]

no prob

i found out that the closed profit/loss takes commission into consideration

[Riddicks]

Good for you man and so did you start with with 25K and ended up with $375K? What was the time period?

That is crazy.

[wallstreetsedge]

nah.. i had about 450k in that account... that was just going from Friday to yesterday in profit.. lol

[shisya]

I too would be interested in following this thread and see the results. Let the games begin!! :)

[wallstreetsedge]

okay tomorrow I'm going to set up a new account and I'll probably put in about $25,000 and then I guess from there I will post my results forward to you guys also want to see the traits that took place as well?

[Riddicks]

Thanks WSE, I look forward to following this thread and yes I would like to see the trades you made too.

[shisya]

Lets do this, boys!

[wallstreetsedge]

i was going to use tradestation for a second account but i believe it takes 2-3 days before it shows the trades... im going to look at mb trading and see if they can do it to show a log because i really dont want to reopen an account with tradeking :P

Interesting :deal:

[wallstreetsedge]

wow tradestation are such idiots, they changed the paperwork and is a very long process.. im going to find another broker in the mean time to open a separate account and let you guys know when i have it up and running :P

[rollo78]

wow i can't wait
