    9:50

    LONG WDC 35.91
    STOP 35.79
    TGT 36.15

    2 minute chart
    - SPY gaps up but puts in two red bars after the open
    - WDC makes new highs during this time
    - go long over the high lower as SPY turns
    - out -0.12

    10:00

    SHORT X 45.16
    STOP 45.45
    TGT 44.58

    - X gaps up with SPY but is super weak from the open
    - Short under the lower high
    - out +0.58

    10:09

    LONG WLP 53.31
    STOP 53.15
    TGT 53.63

    - This was geez's trade that I tailed on and didn't post.
    - WLP strong since open, did not pull back when SPY did.
    - Long over the next higher low
    - out -0.16

    15:39

    SHORT DPS 37.25
    STOP 37.34
    TGT 37.07

    - As SPY tries to put in a late day rally DPS goes in the other direction
    - Short the nice lower high.
    - As the market close was drawing near I closed the trade out early.
    - out +0.15 early due to EOD
    - Looks like my target was exactly the LOD.

    2-2 today, went green with 10 minutes to go in the day..
