  1. Ya, I shouldn't have generalized from a sample of one, either. But okay. Should I sell at break even for the real batch, if I don't get a profit? I'm near break even now.

    Seeing a bit of green on the stock watch list. Could be we'll get moving more into green and the profits will arrive.

    I am short 9260. This was probably a mistake. It took no time to fill compared to earlier long.

    that's practically within the spread of where you exited your long. i'm curious why you did that...? to me it implies enormous belief in your ability to pick an exact turn. i say this from the perspective of someone who absolutely sucks at finding the turning point.

    tried pushing the limit sell on the last batch further out, got run over by the market, lol. flatg @ 9278, +1, that's (i think) +56 dow points on the day.

    no more trades, either. :)

  8. sold 400sh DIA@9315 + .27 minus commissions. Can I raise my sell prices to cover my commissions?

    I still have my mistake trade live. I will be happy to get break even on that one.

    nice reflexes, kap. this smells like news. that whole flatline bottom stank of something coming down the pike.

    if it makes a difference, your commissions are too high. :)
