  6. 12:56 200 FAZ 5.40
    STOP 5.28; TARGET 5.60

    After stock reached 5.55, I moved stop to 5.47 (6 cents over b/e). Got stopped out for pennies profit. Would have hit my target if followed the discipline suggested by GEEZ and moved stop to exactly at b/e.

    Everyday is a learning.

    Thanks,

  8. Hi Geez,

    Can you please describe your thought process for entering the 2 trades listed above?

    I attached a chart.

    Thank you for your journal.

    Since Geez is sleeping and it's still early here, I'll give you some solid reasons for these trades. I shorted UHS at the exact same moment as Geez on the first trade; it was funny, he announced the trade and I had just shorted at the same price. After a strong run on the open, UHS quickly retraced over 60% of it's move, which is basically a failure to thrive, and strong short signal at the top of a run.

    The second short entry had two strong signals: the previous day's last support level became resistance and quickly pulled back leaving a significantly lower high.

  10. I am still interested in seeing the details of Geez's four (or is it five) set-ups.
