Anybody still long? If you pay me enough I'll close my long. If I close it, I'll guarantee she'll head for the moon immediately!

I'm still long, but covered at +100. I also have a short position open as well, not green, but not far from it.

Cisco, thanks.

one more question, what% risk on trades?

cheers
On this account it's 5-10%. On my regular accounts I generally use 2-3%.

Note: I do not recommend using 5-10%. It's too risky for normal trading.

Very good MM on your regular accounts.

Now, on the gauntlet account, yes, 5-10% is to be expected and maybe more at times. Remember, as long as your base investment is secured, the rest is free money when you run the gauntlet.

These accounts are freebies for you to blow on whatever you want once your done with it. Not to be used for bills, not to be used for food, only to be used on something completely and utterly selfish.

I got on the short bus at 6388 put 20 in the bank and BE. I also took a short on the Mistress at 134.90 because the 2 like to go down at the same time.

Folks, if the idea of a gauntlet account is appealing to you, then listen up.

Do Not open this account with money that you need. Treat it like money you'd waste on a nice vacation or a gambling trip to Vegas. Expect the money to be gone. Then if you lose, it won't upset you.
