>> End of Trading for the day << CRM closed, all closed in fact: Updated results (afternoon US trading): FDAX: +161 EUR = +214 US$ CRM: +34$ MCP: +554$ CROX: +1048$ VVUS: +4343$ (turned the loss of 8k to only 3.7k) HPQ (no trades there, number in screenshot is wrong: in fact -3k) Total (US Afternoon and After-hours): +6193$ Was worth the extra effort to sit behind the screens again... Good result, but on a risk of around 10k (if for example Crox went 1.50$ against my 6k position, or VVUS). Won't be in office for US trading tomorrow (no stocks to watch update). New total Day: +7'536 $ ________________ New Balance: 527'772$ (+27'772)
>> Trade Idea << Looking to short Apple: AAPL -4500 around 541.6-4ish. Looking for some more downside into the close if we get there today (maybe around 535ish), with SP500 negative (which happens very rarely lately), and apple still up a lot it's inviting to take a possible profit for all those who are long. EDIT: i will actually start shorting right now, not to impact price too much
>Trade Open<< -4500@AAPL @ 541.74 Oo... got it in pretty bad so far, shorting, 541.80-70ish... (aapl 542.7) position is on... scenario intact, just seems like i got faked into it by some decent selling and possible stop hunting...
>> Trade Update << Working out pretty good... Took off almost all by now, in nice 50 pieces packages along the way down... Entry was really horrible at that time... note to myself, if i want to do this towards closing weakness trade next time, i shouldnt get in before 30 minutes to close... The wide stop played out very good... with a joe average stop of 545 i would have gotten out very bad... Will post profit loss when trade is fully covered.
>> Trade Close << Took remainder off at entry level. The apples fell into my basket the whole way down, with lowest buy @ 535.86 A nice 10'445$ Profit on Apple. (on risk of ~23k $) Would be out of office most of the rest of the week again... this apple trade just seemed so easy (which it wasn't) ________________ New Balance: 538'217$ Week: +10'445$ Month: +38'217$ Start of Journal: +38'217$
