About my only bright spot today was SGY. But even that turned against me later in the day. My initial position was off the 5-min chart, and I doubled up after a nice pullback on the 10-min. Like I said... it was all for not as price came back down.Stopped...

Quite the crazy day. Started off with a quick 3 strikeouts in IAG, HST and SSRI. Then rebounded with some nice action in AMSC and CMA. It was a bit of a roller coaster and I hope that's not a sign of things to come for the rest of the...

Didn't know what to expect today with OPEX and, well, just being Friday. But I ended up in a really nice trade with BHI. I took my first trade off a break of the 10:40 bar high (nr7) and the next bar was also an nr7 so I ended up...

Not much interested me and I had a dinner to go to. Hope you all did better....

Some good, some bad, some missed. I really missed an AGCO gimmie play on the 10-min chart. GNA did well for me and since my entry spread was so narrow I was able to double up on my normal amount of shares and make the small move to the fib....

A very satisfying day. One trade, no worries... winner. Went long ASH (10-min) after it consolidated off the 5-ema and printed a strong bar above the $42 level. Actually proceeded to tag $44 but I exited safely below the fib. ext. (after some partials). Hope you all had a good...

Too much crazy chart action for me to get involved. ...

Today presented a lot of opportunities early on that worked out well and it seemed like it was going to be a very good day. Unfortunately, the wind behind the early bullish sails completely collapsed... as did my profits. I watched half my profits slowly slip away but I was...

If it wasn't for PG, I would be very happy with today. My entry (long 11am bar high, :05) just wasn't what I normally look for. I think I was just a bit too cocky.MW short did work out well and made back the loss and put me in the...

Just one trade today: ITW long. Price broke above the :15 OR then came back down nicely and printed a strong bar at the 5ema. Entered long on a break of the 10:35 bar high (:05) and exited just below $44. Textbook, pullback trade with very little stress....

Here's how I know today was very choppy: I entered 6 trades, 1 made money, 3 were BE and 2 lost money. However, in the end, I was down less than 1R. Go figure.I was actually up a good amount early on and debated whether I should just cash in....

Ever type a word and look at and think "that totally doesn't look right" but it's spelled correctly. Well, the word 'Wednesday' did that to me right now. You can have the last 15 seconds of your life back soon enough.Today was a little bit of yesterday but not as...

There really were no opportunities today for me. Well, maybe a small window to make some quick money on RIMM, but had I entered that position I almost certainly would've lost money on half my shares.Today was also my first full day of twittering. To myself. By myself. For absolutely...

EDIT: In case you hadn't figured it out already, you need to type in OO (as in the letters, not the numbers) to get my twitter username: oonr7. Sorry for the confusion.Vacation's actually been over for me for just over a week now. However, due to jet lag and two...

I was 1 for 3 today with my one winner bringing me slightly above profitability for the day. All happened within the same time span but only one proved to be textbook... ADCT below:Couldn't take a screenshot of my trade log so you'll need to take my word that I...

Still on vacation mode but I have managed to get in a few trades. Today I had a very nice trade in RIMM. My entry was right below the ORL (:15) and the exit was very near the fib. ext. Although, if I had used Tyler's 34% fib. ext suggestion,...

Well... more like summer mode. There's always stuff to do around here and trading just happens at the worst time of the day for me (3:30pm). And, I'll be heading back to the US at the end of this week for close to a month.I plan to trade on vacation...

Tough trading. Shorted SGMS and was stopped out. Made some money back with JRCC (although that was pretty choppy too). Looking like a zero sum week with one day left :)...

Just read an eye-opening article from Rolling Stone. As an American, I can't feel anything more than a sense of hopelessness. GS essentially controls the US. How? Just look at all of the former GS employees in high government positions, their lobbying, and the fact that no one would be...

The day's over and I'm none too pleased. Once again, passed on some good opportunities in ADY and MS... especially MS. Entered a couple of losers: AIG and CHU. Got stopped out on both. Just hope there will be other good opportunities during the week. I've noticed in the past...

I started off the day well with a short of PSMT off a break of the 10:30 bar low (:05). It was good for about 1R worth of profit. I saw some good, but not great, setups in SGR and RSX and decided to cut my risk in half and...

Someone asked yesterday whether I considered proximity to a round number before entering a trade. I said yes, depending on the chart setup. My trade today with FLR is a good example. I entered long off a break of the 11:30 bar high. My entry was $47.99 but if you...

Had some decent moves after starting the day with a loser. You know, it always seems my first trade is a loser. Anyway, shorted HOT, IBN and SLT. HOT went cold real fast and stopped me out. Not the greatest of setups (9/5) but worth a shot.SLT presented a nice...
