    9:56

    LONG CHK 25.31
    STOP 25.21
    TGT 25.51

    - SPY gaps up and chops downard from the open
    - CHK gaps up and shows strength
    - Long over the higher low,
    - out +0.2 (almost HOD exit, phewf)

    10:21

    SHORT GG 42.58
    STOP 42.72
    TGT 42.3

    - GG very weak from the open
    - SPY starts to rally after 10am, GG gets even weaker
    - Look for an entry under the next lower high
    - out -0.14

    10:31

    LONG RIMM 61.26
    STOP 61.13
    TGT 61.52

    - RIMM was acting much like SPY from the open but put in a few big up bars
    - SPY made a similar move up but not as strong then started drifting down, RIMM held it's level through this
    - Look for an entry on this relative strength
    - Long over the tight higher low
    - out -0.13

    10:38

    LONG RMBS 18.81
    STOP 18.73
    TGT 18.97

    - Opened weaker than SPY (actually missed an early short on it)
    - Rallys to new highs showing some great intraday strength
    - RMBS rallys with SPY but doesn't pull back with SPY (like rimm)
    - Long over a higher low
    - out +0.16

    10:49

    LONG WYNN 84.59
    STOP 84.31
    TGT 85.15

    - Good strength not pulling back with SPY from about 10:20 on
    - Puts in a big green bar and then a pullback
    - The next bar after the pullback returns back to near the highs
    - Look for a tight bar to go long over
    - out +0.56

    14:42

    LONG AIG 38.12
    STOP 37.99
    TGT 38.38

    - SPY was weak from noon onward, AIG quite the opposite
    - Look for a tight higher low to enter on
    - Pretty much a perfect entry as the stop size is tight and under a round number
    - out +0.25 (slip)
