  2. I am long on FAS at 10.32...I actually hopped on and hopped back off earlier in the day when it dove. I got on long at 10.40, out at 10.22, back in long at 10.31.

    Ya I lost some shares with that dumabass maneouver, but I got quite concerned the end of the world was coming when it dove so quickly after 10am.

  5. Blowin' day trades then with early entries?

    ES and FAS both just made LH on the long term chart.

  6. Well I never intend to, I prefer to use them as exit hatches instead of like day trades. I have an out if I have to bail on a position I made. If I look at it that way, it's a little safer IMO.

    I'd like to work more on swing trading, and I guess MOST of my trades are swing trades, the day trades are the ones when I close my position early because things are going south.

    S2007S


    I was in yesterday at $9.90, as soon as I bought it fell, was down around 35 cents at the close, so today premarket I sold it off at $9.95, as soon as I got out it went to 10.25 and opened around $10.45, hasn't been down since, I think that's going to change. I think after the stress tests it will be sell the news type of situation.

  8. I am just wondering, does anyone here practice layering in their trading?
