pseudo-liquidity scalp on AMAT - missed meager profit opportunity on all but a small piece... ate the rest of it for a larger than planned loss......
Three sessions in a row now, virtually all of the trending "action" has taken place within the first hour or two of the day, reacting off the...
Well, you're rambling a bit, IMO, but, to be fair, I suppose I should put back the post that you're responding to, that I had deleted - just so...
If I could just stay out of trades like today's CYMI, I'd be doing pretty well. If I learned how and when to take the other side of them, I might...
Look familiar? Basically another, earlier in the session version of the CELG and USAI trades which, together with this one, ensured a lousy...
Had a lousy day - getting caught up and crossed up in that "megaphone range" that faked both a breakdown and a breakout - and then threw that...
Another "volatile breakdown" very similar to that terrible CELG trade from the other day. I really am going to have to collect these again, and...
Didn't have any losing trades today - but I took only three set-ups. I could include some missed opportunities as "bad trades," but, then again,...
GARDEN VARIETY GAP FADE... also a contender for worst trade of the day, in that I COULD have held some for extension or looked for re-entry,...
Played around a bit more with E-Signal, and one thing I'm surprised about is that they haven't improved their "alert" sub-routines. One of the...
ADBE gapped down this morning, and, heading right into support amidst an overall uptrend, appeared to present a perfect opportunity for a fade....
As stated above, I never should have taken this trade: I call them "volatile breakdowns," to distinguish them from true breakdowns (or breakouts)...
An in-range breakdown, also an intraday H&S. Wouldn't have taken the set-up if not for the determination that the larger market would support...
...just let me say that I'm very well aware that no one was forcing me to trade today, that the markets will still be there tomorrow, that you...
Pitt seems like a minor issue to me at this late date in the corporate scandal story. Maybe a negative - Bush forced to capitulate, uncertainty...
So whaddayathink, catman? Do you head into trading on Monday with any set of expectations or a specific plan (buy in pre-market, wait for other...
Good... Now, to more important matters - I'm very glad to read over in chit-chat that Shreddy came through the operation well. I wonder if,...
Nitro, Catman... I'm happy to see you engaged here, I respect you both, and I enjoy discussion and exploration, but I think we've gotten off...
Well, it's a nice paradox, but it remains one all the same: Either the trade is governed at every point by clearly defined, objective signals,...
Over the long term, I have taken significant hits from blown stops, but problems arise more often from taking marginal or worse set-ups - which...
