    (2min play)
    SHORT POT 142.44
    STOP 142.67
    TGT 142.00

    - POT gaps down with SPY
    - SPY choppy and heading higher
    - POT heading lower
    - Short the tight lower high, tgt at the round #

    out +0.42 (sick LOD cover)

    10:00:23

    (2min play)
    LONG RIMM 61.21
    STOP 61.01
    TGT 61.61

    - One of the few stocks to gap up today
    - Look to get long after the 10am #

    out +0.37

    14:25

    SHORT RIG 67.72
    STOP 67.86
    TGT 67.44

    - RIG weak since 11:30am, slow drift down
    - Get short under the tight lower high

    out -0.14 (ticked out, fuuu)

    14:44

    LONG COST 67.66
    STOP 67.55
    TGT 67.88

    14:55

    ADDING COST 67.73
    STOP 67.65
    TGT 67.88

    - COST strong on the day holding at highs even during the 2pm SPY selloff
    - Get long over the bar (first trade)
    - Higher low sets up after, add on half
    - Took some off at .83 (woudl have been tgt on the add)

    out +0.22 and +0.15

    15:19

    LONG NTAP 51.09
    STOP 50.98
    TGT 51.31

    - SPY pulled back from 3:10 for 10 minutes
    - NTAP pushed higher through this
    - Look to get long with an SPY turn
    - I should not have taken this trade as there was a big tail on the entry bar which was below the stop i used
    - out -0.14

    15:27

    SHORT RIG 67.49
    STOP 67.59
    TGT 67.29

    - Same rationale as earlier RIG trade

    out +0.19
