AAPL should be fun tomorrow

I don't know if AAPL will sink or swim tomorrow, but it was up 6% at one point in after hours trading after releasing a blow-out quarter. It settled in +4.5% or so.

I lost HPOL today:






It just couldn't hang out and wait for the trend line to catch up. Very small gain here.

Some stats from trading so far. These go back to June 1st.

Winners have exited the portfolio on average after 33 days. Losers 13 days. This is the type of data I was expecting (duh), but I didn't and still don't know exactly what the spread will be after hundreds of exits. Total exits so far are: winners 20, losers 38. Again, these stats include trades from before I had much in the way of trading rules in place.

Average realized gain is a 1.85% loss. However, I have a net gain since inception including unrealized numbers. My average "stop gain" is a loss of 1.5%. This should change by a lot when I move stops Friday after the close. Many positions are currently just approaching a stop gain. It takes at least two to three weeks for the trend lines to catch up to the entry prices generally. I should have lots of small losses, quite a few small gains and a handfull of gigantic winners if all goes according to plan. So far it looks promising.

These are all IRA numbers. I'll separate my trading account results from my IRA results going forward. They really should be quite different since I can short in my trading account and I'm using margin.
