    9:56

    SHORT MOS 57.77
    STOP 57.90
    TGT 57.51

    - both MOS and SPY gap down, after 2 red bars SPY shows a lot of strength
    - MOS pauses and sets up a nice lower high
    - out +0.26

    10:26

    SHORT WLP 54.31
    STOP 54.47
    TGT 54.00

    - much like MOS, weakness after the open while SPY rips
    - out +0.28 (slip in)

    15:10

    LONG JOYG 66.20
    STOP 66.06
    TGT 66.48

    - JOYG with strength through the day
    - long the break of resistance at .20
    - Another long setup showed up 30 minutes later, if i was being aggressive i would add a half lot here and move all stops
    - Sitting on a 2-0 day I decided to lock in at least some change and move my stop but not add.. counting this as a B/E trade
    - out +0.07
