screw citibank

so i was down about $3,700 this morning and i got an email for a margin call! it was only for $300, but if i didn't wire the money today they will close my position and suspend my futures trading for a day. so it was a fucking mess trying to get citibank to fucking wire some money over to my broker. i was so fustrated. i am about to open another bank account.

in other news, the sp500 swung back down in the afternoon saving me from posting margin (i didn't find out till much later). so i ran a couple of errands and im sitting in front of the trading screen at 4:55pm and put in my buy order to cover my shorts.

today:
Sold WBT BOT +2 /ESM8 @1301.00 CME
netting me a nice $537.50 for a day's work. it was damn stressful though.

Net liquidation value: $12,325.69

also, i'm depositing another $10,000 to the account. no more margin calls.
