    no problem mister.
    This is your journal. so you can do what you like.

    I was thinking ET is not a great place to post quantity images.
    it is time consuming and system is not that robust

    anyway all the best mister

    In the premarket, while scanning through the SP500, the Nasdaq 100, and the Dow30 stocks, I did not find any possible trades that I could take with conviction, even after the opening bell. The old trader adage rings true here, "If you don't know, don't go". Meaning sit tight, and wait for the right trade to come along. That's where I'm at now. Opening bell has just rung, and let's see what moves.

    Discover (DFS) looks like it wants to go to $52 before it goes down to $50.

    SPY looks like it might want to trade down to my red trend line, which would be about a $3.00 drop.

    AMZN was trading higher in the premarket, but since opening has traded downward, and is negative for the day. It is also moving away from $2500 rather than towards it.

    I bought 100 shares of IWM at $141.09, because as I was scanning through the charts, more of them looked bullish than bearish. Also, there is a decent and likely looking target at $142.08 with IWM, which I circled on the chart. This is not a high-conviction trade, but I think it's worth a shot.

    I had to hold the stock while it traded down to $140.79. I was debating where and when to sell. However, it has rebounded nicely since then, and I have decided to place my stop at $141.20, guaranteeing me a profit on this trade.
