BIDU strong from lunch, SPY drifting lower - I called it prior to 2 but didn't want to take a trade until 2 - nic takes.. I chase it.. - out -0.25 (nic's fault) We have totally different entries and exits...you are generally getting in where I am getting out and vice versa. Hopefully Geez is back soon and you can stop blaming all these on me.
it was more that before my entry i was watching it but not making any money on it and you were long the whole time.. and don't worry, when (if?) he comes we'll still keep blaming you.

If i used an .01 stop this would have been a b/e trade - out -0.19 10:21 SHORT SPY 131.31 STOP 131.47 TGT 131.00 - Big sell bar, little pullback - Looks like SPY is setting up to put in another lower high for another leg down - I'm fractically looking at the potential shorts my scanner is throwing at me and nothing looks particularly good. I'd be looking for stocks weaker than the market which arn't bouncing as hard as SPY - Unable to find such stock I just short SPY.. Never have to worry about slippage with SPY - As most of my trades have been going the last week, SPY reverses straight at my target - Hits tgt 30 minutes after stop out - out -0.19 http://puddles.humanfund.ca/wp/2011/04/12/2011-04-12-trades/
9:40 LONG AKAM 37.5 STOP 37.4 TGT 37.7 out b/e 9:41 SHORT CREE 42.49 STOP 42.61 TGT 42.25 out +0.24 actually tried to cancel the tgt order because it looked like this baby wanted to let go but i got lifted too fast.. left about $1 on the table..
out -0.07 10:21 SHORT FAST 64.99 STOP 65.10 TGT 64.77 out -0.13 done for the day.. 2-2-1, nicely green.
