If anyone's listening, should I attempt another scalp at EOD or call it quits for today? |

NFLX looks like it's popping. I grabbed a bit at 119.79 and it went down on cue immediately afterwards. |

Bought some November OTM calls (4.2% of account). Willing to risk a little here. |

That hurt. I probably better stop this nonsense for awhile. |

Yeah, I bought my calls early.. but it's cancelling my SPXU. Still a significant down day for me though. |

If I get stopped out again, then I'll stop scalping for now. |

Stopped out. I'm through scalping until further notice. I was better at respecting my stops this time around, but still suck at it. |

Have you backtested FKOS 0.23? |

Now FAS is going to rally EOD. Should have waited 'til 15:30 like I said I would. |

I haven't, but given that one day where FKOS 0.23 got stopped out only to climb 21% towards the end of day, I doubt the backtest would be worth it. |

Here we go FAS - fly to the moon now that I've been stopped out. It's 15:30. |

I hope Bulldog still isn't holding his FAS from $24. |

Geez... why do you keep harping on that?
Where's FAS now? Did FKOS beat FAS long? |

OK - I'll crunch the numbers tonight after Yahoo updates the historical prices. If I don't have an answer by tomorrow, remind me again. |

Okay, I sim'd over the past year. Assummed $25k principal and $10 transaction fees. Assumed fractional shares, but I don't think this affects things much (makes volatility a little higher).
Looks like FKOS 0.23 is beating FAS long (primarily due to saves during the US downgrade debacle), but both are down big time. |

You might want to put the above in the appropriate thread in the strategy section. I'll put my results there now. |
