Trading Review: 08-17-2017












Gross PnL: +$247.

Net PnL: +$125. $34 in borrows.

Incredibly unlucky with fills today, absolutely crazy how many times I was bidding at the low of the day, and it traded there (sometimes even big volume) and then I didn't get a fill. And I'm not talking about BITCF either...

Big thing today, was that I was up around $350ish - and I was actually on the cover side of things trying to reduce positions (eg see IDXG), and as mentioned getting very unlucky with fills, and ended up around +$50 - +$100, then exited at favourable places for my net result.

BITCF - Didn't have a super strong bias on this today, but added as it confirmed idea and clean stop-out area. Covered too early, but that's fine as I didn't expect too much.

IDXG - Happy with entries and idea (just the gap down and crap-out type setup). Realised quite early that there wasn't going to be a huge move, so set what I thought was an easily achievable bid for half (1.21) which turned out to be the low of day and no fills for me.

SDLP - Was extremely biased on this stock today, thought it had a decent chance of filling the gap. A great cover that I took near the lows, that I am super happy with. I locked in $92 on this at the low, this was my best move of the day - locking in despite strong bias.
Then I added back into vwap, which was my biggest mistake of the day (don't use vwap before 10am at least); and ended up covering the rest around even.
If I hadn't locked in I wouldn't have made money on this ticker; and if I had added near the high of day (instead of vwap), it would have been a nice winner despite idea not really working.
Also worth mentioning I was slightly unlucky on fills on this ticker as well.
