    Order to add to position at $770.15,....don't know if it will fill or not. Stop loss on current position at $748.95

    Yep,...

    My add on (0.25%) order did not get filled today. I think I have a chance to fill at a better price soon so will lower my add on price to $769.59. I expect a slight retrace to that level before bumping higher. If it never fills no big deal. First position (0.75%) was at $759.13. So far already made up the loss from original order where I got stopped out.

    Yes, good move for today. But now AMZN is a good hold, not a buy.

    Your original call was perfect. Too bad that stop was a hair too high. Other than that... a thing of beauty.

    Thanks. Actually I was stupid in my stop loss placement on the original trade. I have a method where I subtract a multiple of ATR from the recent low and instead I subtracted it from the entry price.....dumbass move on my part and ended up placing stop at $754.54 rather than $750. Had I done that correctly I would have had a winning trade. Anyway, so far this trade has made up for that one and I expect it to move significantly to $800ish within 6 weeks.

    I will disagree with Jamie J that this is a hold now. It has only moved a few percent since purchase. I believe we will see a small retrace tomorrow and expect to add on (0.25%) if $769.59 is hit.

    Been rethinking this. Have decided NOT to add to this position. Maintaining my current position and stop.

    As I suspected I got another buy signal today just about at the exact price I quoted. But I held off for a better trade I saw taking shape in another stock.
