End of Day Journal (2-26-2010)





Comments:
Not much to say about today, pretty much went perfectly. The little blog pep talk seemed to do the trick on SORL. I sold at a hefty loss and now intend to remain back on strategy. The realized p&l listed in IB's trade window is not correct given that it reflects the price at time of transfer. True realized loss is negative ~ $888 + TD's commission.

The posted commissions reflect IB's non-bundled pricing schedule - closed CENX for a sweet $0.88 commission! I could have made quite a bit more on CENX, and ROSE, but JASO worked out about as well as it could. The sell points were based on the 75% probability percentage gain point. I am going to try out some additional metrics to try and link the price and percentage gain, in terms of best performance, but until something works out I will be using the probable percentage gain for expected gains and hope for the occasional gap open outlier.
