    SHORT ADSK 39.61
    STOP 39.72
    TGT 39.39

    - ADSK gap down vs SPY gap up
    - market choppy but weak after open
    - tight LH
    - only 100 shares got lifted at LOD, i punched out the rest..
    - out +0.21

    10:01

    LONG CVC 35.11
    STOP 34.97
    TGT 35.39

    - market choppy and weak from the open
    - CVC strong and jamming up against strong .10 resist
    - long the break of resist.
    - rips to 2c from my tgt after i set my stop, punch out half (+0.26), let the other half run
    - CVC a monster, i was looking for .75 based on the HODs of the previous week..
    - nic chases my entry, punches out over .65 and I figure that's good enough for me and not to get greedy.. damn nic
    - out +0.26, +0.5

    14:23

    LONG NTAP 51.53
    STOP 51.45
    TGT 51.71

    - SPY choppy through most of the day, leg up then ranging at the highs
    - NTAP strong from lunch
    - I was expecting a SPY bounce off support at 129.90 to take the NTAP to it's tight HL to tgt
    - had to leave the room, NTAP gets to .66 where i would have moved my stop to b/e
    - return to it stopping out, bah
    - out -0.11
