Quotes from trader's journal at elite trader:
"2010 Recap.
For the year I grossed $825,141. I traded a total of 27,258,000 shares, 241 futures contracts and 204 options contracts. I don't have my net total to the penny yet, but it is very close to $750k."
"For me the year was dominated by three things.
1. A massive error trade on April 15th that cost me $81,000. I accidentally input incorrect price data for a spreadsheet that I use to send 1000's of automated orders.
2. May 6th flash crash and ensuing volatility explosion. This event and the three weeks after it accounted for 40% of my year.
3. Lack of volume. The second half of the year, many days felt like a ghost town. There was a lot of thin stocks with wide spreads and just not much happening. My screen time dropped dramatically compared to other years as I essentially stopped trading after the first hour of the day most of the time."
