Back

Back in Bermuda...had a great week in Trinidad for xmas except the travelling was a bit hectic (6 flights in a week including 2 red-eye flights :S)..just wanted to point out that going forward I will only update this blog on weekends to include trades from the week, thoughts etc...for an intraday look at my trades please follow me on twitter @BermudaTrader ...happy new year!

Still here..

Still here trading...had a few non-trading days as there was an election in Bermuda so I was a little involved with that (my Dad was running in one of the constituencies)..new Government in power here so let's see what they can do for the country in the coming years..anyway here's yesterdays spreadsheet, my broker Swiss America Securities/Suretrader got a new clearing firm anyway hope to be able to update daily but sometimes there is not enough time..next week I am off (going to Trinidad for xmas) so will be looking to get the groove going for 2013 once I return..

Ironing out some issues..

Had a few issues when I finally went live on the new platform which have now been resolved..I also had internet problems which meant that it wasn't until Friday that I was finally able to fire off a couple trades..

First trade was on ueps..has been running up and expecting a bounce back down ..the ideal setup is the parabolic push up and then build into a short..took first position on the run up and then added on the continuation move risking to the 50s..scaled out on the fade as it started moving lower..

Bit slow midday I eye'd a few trades but did not pull the trigger..then noticed the action on groupon it was hovering around the day's highs and grinding slowly but always holding the slight uptrend..another preferred setup as this usually leads to a breakout..entered a bit early and was caught in the grind a bit but then it started perking upwards and once the new highs hit, some volume came in pushing it up nicely..i took 20 cents but in hindsight could have held for more..then grabbed the parabolic move over 50s for a quick bounce back much like i used to do when scalping the euro..grabbed a quick 6 cents on that pull...traded with smaller size as still getting a feel for the platform but not a bad day..went out in the afternoon to run some errands and missed the huge fade off the big run in cbmx a couple friends rode it for over $1 a share ah well lol

DAStraderPro up and running..

Funds have been moved and I am now ready to hit the markets using dastrader pro..really great platform anyway yesterday I followed the markets but couldn't execute as I was still waiting for funds to hit the new account..here is a shot of my tradedesk hope to update this evening with some profitssss :)

Working overtime..

I spent all day yesterday and most of today testing out the new trading platform I'll be using from now on. It is called DAS Trader Pro and is really a state-of-the-art trading platform with lightning fast executions and fast, super direct market access. So far I am liking it and have posted a screenshot from the main trading desktop on the platform.

Markets are providing some good trading conditions and I am looking forward to this month.
