Guppies Account Talk

[guppie]

The dollar is flat out refusing to bend to my desires. Other than that, the I fund trade is performing a little better than expected.
I changed my allocation 3 times this morning and then decided to cancel the IFT and continue to hold 100% I fund at the last second. It literally said 1100 CST on the computer when I hit submit, So I guess i will be happy or unhappy with my decision when the market closes on Tuesday.
TVIX offered a much better price than I paid, bottoming out at 20.30 or so. But I think I'll still make a little at 20.84
GL to all

The dollar trade on the I fund has gone against me, looks like I should have sold yesterday.
Sold TVIX

Well, back in TVIX completely on accident. Meant to put in a buy order at 20.77 and accidently put in 21.77 so It bought instantly at current market 21.30. I need to slow down sometimes, sure hope I don't get beat up too bad on this trade as I am locked in until Friday

Dollar is backing off a little, but I'm not entirely confident about my UUP 24.8 target (closed at 25.27) The I fund trade is still slightly in the green, but the futures are not looking good.
My TVIX oops might bite me in the butt today.

TVIX is going to get hammered at the open. I may have to double down on my oops buy from last week just so I can get above water faster.
The dollar started to slide Friday but is now looking stronger. I had a downside target of 24.8 UUP but it doesn't look like it will make it. As a consequence I will likely exit the I fund today. I am up slightly on this trade, so Hopefully the dollar remains in a tight to slightly lower trading range until I exit.

The dollar stayed fairly low through the 12ET cutoff, So I am hoping for a .34% gain in the I fund today. At this point it is hard to tell if management will manipulate the closing price because the dollar climbed after the 12ET close

So just when I gave up on the dollar breaking lower and moved out of the I fund, The futures market is back down to 96.6 this AM. Oh well, I will have to wait and see if the S fund was the right move. A sky rocket around the independence day holiday would be quite fitting.
TVIX will get a bump from the dollar decline, so I will be looking to recover some losses from my current trade.
GL to all!

well the timing on the I to S move really sucked

As it stands right now, it looks like I was 1 day too soon switching from I to S. The dollar (UUP) got very close to my downside target this AM, and I am wishing I had listen to myself a little better. I will be happy if I can recover yesterdays losses in short order.
