New Order, "Temptation"

The RO Report, "New Countertop" Edition

We had a new countertop installed in our kitchen today. Let me tell you, the epoxy those guys used to glue that mother down is some heavy shit. I was half high all day long, making non-sensical trades while assaulting "Trader D" via our office chat room.

It was fun. I traded lightly... I was happy.

Not everyone in the office had fun today. You'll notice that Trader C, "George Michaeled" himself by having both his intraday account and his swing account take the bottom two spots in the office. Many of you would say, "Wow, that's bad," but I'll have you know, Trader C is a sick fucker, and probably likes massive doses of pain now and then. It makes him feel more alive.

Otherwise, it was a fairly quiet day. The volume was light, and as I wrote yesterday, a pullback to this level would be healthy. We go lower on higher volume, and I'd be concerned about the state of the rally.

Anyway, out of 26 traders today, 19 finished gross positive, or 73%. 9 traders made over $1,000 gross, while 4 traders lost over $1,000 gross. I was #9 of 26.

I also want to point out that today marked the first trading day for "Trader X," a trader who found our office through this blog. There was an old "Trader X" but he quit to work another job full time. So I saved the excellent letter X for the first DT trader.

Hopefully, before long, he'll be a Boss. Godspeed, "Trader X."

Christmas Vomit

Take a look at the intraday heatmap, it's a mess. Volume is light and we've had a little pullback. I'm thinking nothing much going on and I'm trading accordingly.



Instead, I've been having fun hurling offensive comments at people over at "the Fly's" place.
