    (2min play)
    LONG CCJ 38.01
    STOP 37.92
    TGT 38.19

    - Had CCJ on long watch due to daily
    - gaps up with SPY, runs harder than SPY
    - Long over the bar & round #
    - out -0.10

    9:56

    (2min play)
    SHORT AKAM 52.82
    STOP 53.02
    TGT 52.42

    - AKAM weak in a very strong market
    - Short under the bar, stop over the round #
    - I shouldn't have taken this trade with #s coming out at 10am
    - out -0.24 (shaken out after 10am news, then to tgt)

    10:12

    LONG BBT 24.36
    STOP 24.27
    TGT 24.54

    - Great strength, tight higher low
    - out +0.18

    10:36

    SHORT NE 34.19
    STOP 34.27
    TGT 34.05

    - NE gaps down vs SPY gap up
    - NE in a range at the lows while SPY at the highs
    - Short the break
    - got 4c from tgt, probably could have moved this stop to B/E
    - out -0.10

    10:46

    (2min play)
    SHORT LVS 50.02
    STOP 50.16

    - LVS very weak vs SPY since the open (almost makes me think the news leaked out early.)
    - out +0.24

    15:00

    SHORT POT 143.79
    STOP 143.98
    TGT 143.41

    - SPY slow drift up all afternoon
    - POT flat all day, finally breaks the range lower bumping against slight support
    - Short the break
    - out +0.35
    - I missed another short on the next lower high too, didn't allow for enough slip on the entry and it blew right by me (went to tgt)

    3:40

    SHORT MOS 66.89
    STOP 66.99
    TGT 66.69

    - MOS weak all day
