    9:33

    SHORT KLAC 40.96
    STOP 41.11
    TGT 40.68

    - Morning gap play, <3
    - SPY gap up, KLAC gap down
    - Short KLAC LH on 1min when SPY weakens
    - out +0.28

    9:50

    SHORT GS 139.66
    STOP 139.89
    TGT 139.2

    - SPY bounces off the lows and retraces to new highs
    - GS great daily short, tight lower high at the lows
    - Little aggressive since SPY looked pretty strong
    - out -0.26

    10:00

    SHORT RIMM 44.86
    STOP 45.04
    TGT 44.5

    - A few #s came out at 10am.
    - Had a long and a short tee'd up to send depending on how the news came out
    - News was very negative, send RIMM which was my short
    - Market tanks on bad #s, RIMM straight to TGt
    - out +0.35

    10:28

    LONG TEVA 50.04
    STOP 49.94
    TGT 50.24

    - TEVA jamming up against 50.00 resistance in a very weak market after 10am
    - I was waiting for a bar to hold over 50.00 or for SPY to give me some strength
    - I knew I was going to be buying HOD as my entry.
    - SPY sets up a tiny HL off it's lows
    - TEVA hits HOD, I get long
    - I stepped out and in my journal I mentioned I had a b/e stop which would have ticked me out before it got to tgt. I actually had my stop at .98 and even attached a screenshot
    - out +0.2
