    LONG CAM 45.01

    SHORT RIG 64.3
    STOP 64.45
    TGT 64.00

    - RIG weak all day with continued as SPY tries to retrace it's selloff
    - out -0.16

    15:20

    LONG NFLX 179.33
    STOP 178.87
    TGT 180.25

    - tilt trade, see above
    - good work going long a stock that's up 7+% on the day...
    - out -0.51

    Sadly i missed the open. I don't see how I wouldn't have been long RIMM with a inverse gap at the open and the fact that I trade the stock like 3-6 times a week. other than NFLX i'm ok with my setups today..
