no trades this morning .. the PPT squeeze at the close yesterday and the gap up this morning killed all my patterns .. thought i was going to get something into the lunchtime selloff ..but it was more of a distribution sell off than a fear driven sell off .. we will wait and see what tomorrow brings .. --m
Hey all. Had a couple of trades today. One in GRMN on this mornings fear candle and one on MOS GRMN didn't bounce that great and proceeded to go lower and even though the trade was profitable by over $500, I am gonna consider it a bad one. MOS. Well this one I bought the fear candle and flipped it for a bit more than $1. Only to have it run $4 more! Can't win them all. Will post the trades later on since I am typing this while at the airport. Have a great day.
Hi, Mark, glad to hear you're doing well. Do you still use those MA channels? Post a chart once in a while, will ya? Schaefer
