    9:51

    LONG UAUA 22.19
    STOP 22.10
    TGT 22.37

    - UAUA gaps and goes
    - SPY gaps up, pulls back and heads higher
    - At the same time UAUAU sets up a tight higher low
    - long over it
    - out +0.18 (53 seconds)

    10:42

    SHORT GPS 18.72
    STOP 18.77
    TGT 18.62

    - GPS was #1 on the daily short watch list
    - GPS makes new lows and sets up a tight lower high (relative weaker than SPY, SPY not at lows)
    - short under tight lower high
    - GPS puts in tons of prints at 18.62 and I don't get filled (this was geez's cover on the same trade)
    - GPS moves to 18.64 and I take it as I have to head to my office
    - out +0.07 (slipped a penny on the way in)

    2-0, covered yesterday's abomination and puts me slightly green on the week

  6. haha, he only got partially filled at .62 and took the rest at .63.. In his defense we both had GPS on short watch but he took the trade before I spotted it. I managed to tail along long after he had his target entered in.
