so, friends, I want to tell you a little about September.. but not about the percentage at the end of the month… по той причине, that at the beginning of the first autumn in our prop office there was a significant event – we got an overnight beep or, otherwise I say, allocated money to carry positions overnight, две, three and so on.
at first it was only $ 10,000… Leisurely, timidly and with shaking hands, we began to carry 100-200-300 sherz from successful intraday entrances, getting new experience and experiencing new sensations..
days passed, weeks, time passed and the balls grew stronger and grew in diameter.. respectively, money for an abundance of ideas for 2000-3000 liquid American stocks began to run short.. who wanted and who dared – asked myself $50000.. “no sweat!” – told us…
and I will remind, what according to American legislation – the maximum leverage for overnight is 1 to 2, respectively now, when asked what is the main advantage of working in prop, I already know that I will speak impulsively, mesentering saliva and pounding myself in the chest))
and so, sit yes load, если знаешь, that your dream is unshakable and flawless under any circumstances, no matter how many stocks you moved through the night and you have no idea what unemployment and GDP deflator will be before the market opens and, Consequently – you don't know, where the futures will carry..
well this is all a prologue…
and I'm leading everything to that, that the last days I have already endured the order 10000-12000 Shares. balls grew, hand was heavy.
and everything paid off handsomely: thanks to overnight and exclusively to them, September was the best month so far, starting from June, that I work in prop.
the logic is simple: there is an intraday entrance, there is dynamics, the price goes higher (or lower depending on the direction, but not a single overnight short, by the way, it hasn't been yet). while there is an understanding of what is happening, own idea in a stock and there is no powerful pullback on volumes – have to sit… day, two, three… how long will it take for me, Patience, a major participant in the promotion and an overnight beep.
there were situations, that from the opening to the next session showed a lot of money, but had to go to zero.. there were no overshoots on gaps against the position, there were even moments, what u $50000 not enough and had to scratch turnips in the last minutes before closing, destroying myself with a question “what else can be shortened – because everything is so tasty?))”.
it's literally like in poker – with a strong hand you fire up the bank, to cut the jackpot. and here also – successfully favorable entry price when long is far below and you can daily, reading the tape, find points of daily position addition, slightly shifting the average price higher.
one such overnight closes many, many red days of intraday drain…
