Merry Christmas!

  I will go to the family dinner soon. Yeah, we arrived at the airport late last night and I feel so exhausted now!

  Here is the return from IB. Actually I performed much better than I did in TD Ameritrade and it made me wonder why. I spent several weeks to compare these two. Gradually, I applied the similar trade to IB.

It's a pretty good year for me so far. But I think I will do better next year with TD ameritrade's thinkorswim platform help. I like the way they organize the positions. I wish I could have opened the account with them earlier. I probably won't transfer the entire fund to TD though.

My stock income is much higher than my other combined income. It means that we have to pay a lot of tax next year.

I'm in costa rica

We arrived it here last Sunday and will leave this Sunday!

Weekly Summary

We might see some weakness in the beginning of the week.
I don't want to do much now since it's holiday and we are going to travel next week.

Weekly review and what to expect next week.

Ok, Back to work. :-)

Although ES tried sever time above 2600, I'm not sure whether it will stay. It was a holiday week and the market tended to do the fake breakout. We'll see where the real market attention is next couple weeks. But no matter what, I don't see big pull back either.

I'm prepared either way. I will not jump to trade for the new fund available in TD. I will patiently wait that there is at least 14+ points move in SPX.

Trade Range for the past week: 2568-2603

The expect trading range is 2585+/5-2605+/-5

From the picture I posted, you can see that I've contributed to IB quite a bit. Hopefully I can see the difference from TD next year.

Happy Thanksgiving!

New high,

It's so typical...

I don't want to wait any longer to switch the account. So I reduced quite a bit position in interactive brokers today. You can call it profit taking.

I think the fund should be available in TD next week. I hope that the market can have a big pull back by then!

Other than that, I'm not watching the market, I'm preparing the turkey now!

TD Ameritrade Account

  It's a small account and I started to trade on 8/29/17. I went out lunch with a trader friend in September. He said that I should periodically withdraw money. I never have that habit and I listened to his advice. Here you go.

 Maybe you should try it too, It's a good advice.
