    STOP 12.44
    TGT 12.89

    (2minute chart above)
    - SPY opens weak and heads down
    - As SPY turns VVUS shows continued strength
    - Take over the higher low on the 2 minute chart

    SHORT TEVA 54.8
    STOP 54.95
    TGT 54.5

    - After 3 bars, SPY tried to retrace from it's opening selloff, TEVA did not participate
    - Geez and I were going to take the TEVA lower high around 10:30..
    - I accidentally cancelled my entry and realized it too late to get any part of the trade
    - TEVA sets up again and I take it.
    - out -0.15

    Just about a month ago Geez encouraged me to continue his journal with the goal of helping my trade selection and execution. The first month has definitely gone to plan. Thanks dude.

    Puddles,
    - After 3 bars, SPY tried to retrace from it’s opening selloff, TEVA did not participate
    - Geez and I were going to take the TEVA lower high around 10:30..
    - I accidentally cancelled my entry and realized it too late to get any part of the trade
    - TEVA sets up again and I take it.
    - out -0.15



    * You could have said that Geez DIDN'T miss the first entry and nailed it!
    I also took the AKAM trade thanks to puddles and we both nailed it.


    Great trading! And awesome posts! I hope everyone realizes how stellar your trading has become. Not a single bad entry on any of the charts you posted all month. Thats the key. keep it up you crazy gleeker you.
