    Didn't get in front of the screens till almost 10am

    10:13

    LONG M 24.07
    STOP 23.97
    TGT 24.27

    - Whole sector is up, M gaps up and really strong.
    - I was late to the party and bought the top, I should have been concerned with the big red selloff bar on SPY as the initial positive reaction to 10am #s could have been a headfake
    - out -0.11

    10:16

    SHORT STEC 19.93
    STOP 20.04
    TGT 19.71

    - SPY gapped down then retraced into the 10am #s
    - STEC stayed weak
    - Short the tight lower high under the #
    - Stop should have been hit a few bars later but it didn't fire, little scary.
    - out +0.22

    10:17

    SHORT SNDK 50.21
    STOP 50.33
    TGT 50.00 (shouldn't have cheated this)

    - Same story as STEC, held in a tight range at the lows while SPY tried to retrace
    - Big selloff bar with the market, tight lower high
    - I cheated the tgt at 50.00 as I didn't want to cross a round # and option strike.. Blew right by it.
    - out +0.20
