Got a trade you just can't stand not bragging about? Post them here! Percentage gains, cash gains, etc. Post em if you've got em!
Ok, I'll start: Symbol: IWM AprWk5 113.5 Call Action: Bought To Open Quantity: 8 contract(s) Price: $0.10 Action: Sold To Close Quantity: 8 contract(s) Price: $0.23 230% ROI!!
so no one has any trades to brag about?...I must be the only one who made money today...lol Only about $100 profit, but the percentage gain is pretty nice... 130% I need to do that every day.
As a personal rule on stock forums I never give out the dollar amount of my trades for reasons I would not rather get into. As I am a swing trader most of my trades last between a couple day to a couple weeks. But others I will hold extremely longer if i believe the potential is high. Much of what I wrote below can be confirmed on the old HSM threads regarding the buying if they ever become available. These prices are the lowest I bought at, but I made many future buys as well LVS I bought at $2.50 and sold in tiers on the way to $60 MPEL I bought at $5 and sold in tiers on the to $40 F I bought at $5 and I am still holding watching those divi's compound since 2009 Future bragging rights . UVE from 16 to 36
They are a progressive insurance company with increasing revs and they have been beating top and bottom like they did in AH yesterday. I think when insurance companies are back in favor there price will return to previous highs. This could be from mid-term to long-term. Today they are coming off a double bottom but with futures looking bad so hard to say how they will fare today
My other DAX short today. Wish I held my short longer though. Regret selling it. Could have made more money.
My first trade for today. Small profit Missed the entry at opening bell at 10,000 I waited too long before getting in.
This was a good trade for me today but it pissed me off because after I closed my position within literally about 15-30 minutes it shot up another 50 points so I missed out on another $6K
on Friday I didn't want to post but now I change my mind not to brag but merely to show that many time we get over cautious with analysis-chart-fundamental etc... etc.. but some luck is important as any other tools Friday at around 11:33 I bought XXX amount of CLRB at 2.12 then got called away (urgent by my neighbour) so I put a SL at 1.80 and left ... When I came back (1h later) the price was going up... didn't think twice and sold at 3.90!!!! by pure chance I got all those $$$..... most likely that if I had been present I woulda have sold much earlier
One more trade like this will be nice. Should have just stopped though after the first good trade. Too much Yo-Yo action today.
Nice to come back and see a trade have gone your way. Worst thing is when it goes in the opposite direction.
Some times those stop losses do not work so well. I have had some cases where the stop loss did not kick in until way past the stop loss which caused horrible losses.
