It was another fairly slow day today and the trade that salvaged the day was the very last trade.
Not much to tell you about - the only thing I can say is that today I was using larger share sizes quite comfortably (several 8000 share trades). The unfortunate thing about today was that there wasn't really much movements in the stocks I was trading. As a result, today was littered with many 1-cent losers and 1-cent winners.
Within the last hour, I put on several small losing trades and it looked like it was going to be a disappointing day.
However I caught a lucky break on Hewlett Packard (HPQ) in the last 15 minutes of trade and I managed to pull off an average day out of a disappointing day.
As I said before, there wasn't much movements in the stocks I was trading so there were only 2 good trades today, no bad trades (managed to keep all losing trades to under $100).
Good Trades
10:20AM - Hewlett Packard (HPQ) and the Futures were uptrending. Got long 6000 shares and got out as follows: 3-cent loser (2000 shares), 4-cent winner (4000 shares) ($220 profit before fees)
3:48PM - Hewlett Packard (HPQ) looked like it hit resistance and the Futures were really doing anything. All of a sudden, large size appeared on the bid (about 600+ size). There was some size left on the ask, so I hit it for 8000 shares. Got out as follows: 3-cent winner (6000 shares), 4-cent winner (2000 shares) ($260 profit before fees)
