Comments on: The executive decision http://www.uglychart.com/2007/03/06/the-executive-decision/ Beauty is in the eye of the shareholder Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:15:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: uglychart.com » Blog Archive » Looking forward to vacation http://www.uglychart.com/2007/03/06/the-executive-decision/#comment-8948 uglychart.com » Blog Archive » Looking forward to vacation Fri, 16 Mar 2007 03:37:17 +0000 http://www.uglychart.com/2007/03/06/the-executive-decision/#comment-8948 [...] Today was a choppy day, but the damn thing really screwed up this time. It was a blow, because it actually puts us in the red for the month, despite the +20% day we had on the 6th. Ouch. To top it off, when it hit it’s max loss for the day, it didn’t just close a long position on AUY, but it also went short the same number of shares. Since it was such a choppy day, the short position popped immediately back up and we ended up losing close to 2R on that trade. Anyway we’ve decided we definitely need more testing, so we are officially going back into testing mode until this thing runs better. I am heading to Ireland for the last week of the month, and I have a lot to do before then, so I will also be taking a break from posting until April.

In this case, I made 0.5R in just a couple seconds. Not as impressive as ugly’s ATS yesterday, but at my R size, it doesn’t take many R’s per month for me to live well.
