SPY10$2,103.10$2,104.30$1.20
In November 2, 2016, I was only able to day trade SPY for a net day trading profit of $1.20.  Today was a very tricky day.  During lunch when I usually day trade, a lot of the stocks in my watchlist were just in red and I could not find a stock with a nice set up for an entry therefore I stayed away from day trading most of the time.

Total-$2,449.56

The above items shows stocks I carry for swing trades.  I think I may have to take losses in my GEVO holdings depending on the results by the time the earnings release in November 14 come out.  

For TVIA, based on my reading of the earnings release slides as well as based on the earnings call that I tuned into, I think TVIA will see higher profits in Q4 so I may have to hold this stock for about a quarter. I am also holding a couple of ATVI stocks in anticipation for a positive earnings release tomorrow.

The rest of the stocks I am holdings are my dividend stocks to pay for the monthly $6 margin fee.  I think the mix I purchased today will more or less make about $10 monthly dividend.




Daily Result


ResultGoalActualVariance
Daily Goal$51.33$1.20-$50.13
ROI0.20%0.00%-0.20%
Based on the results shown in the above table, I grossly missed my daily profit goals and ROI of $51.33 dollars and 0.20%, respectively by $50.13 and -0.20% , respectively.  Overall, today was not a good day to trade. I also read that the oil tanked as well as SPY and the rest of the indices losing for the 7th straight days sine 2011.  This may be a sign of what is to come right after election day.
