S cien 44.32 S CIEN 44.69 total of 4 units @ ave 43.59 bad trade, would have been better to close yesterday at a small gain. Was gone during the last half hour yesterday so was not able to. going to get out today regardless of P/L
tough day.... CIEN slapped me in the face all day. Actually, had nothing to do with CIEN but my failure to walk out the door. Started out as a profitable trade yesterday and should have been flat at the close. Needed to go early and forgot that I had a limit order which of course was filled. Was not very worried about it after seeing it last night as the signal is usually lower on the open but that was not the case. averaged up the stock all day which for the most part caused me to dig a deeper hold. (did sell at the top of the day at 44.35 but not enough to make a difference). I guess I can be too upset as this works more often than not and overall I am up with this exit method. In the end I gave up most of the profit from Monday and Tuesday and ended a two week winning run. Did have some profitable trades today, the swings from yesterday worked out but would have done better if I was able to stay at the computer during all the trading hours. Cover on MVL @ ave 26.7 +.21 x2 Cover on EXPD @ 48.19 +.33 Cover on CIEN @ AVE 44.61 -.74 x 7 Ended the day -476 flat going into tomorrow. probably will not trade or not much as I have a busy schedule for the next couple of days.
BER S 31.32 (after hours trading, need to make sure that i set my limits to not include after hours) took a little bit of thinking to figure out how I sold while I was gone above the high of the day. Signal CON7+
Tradestation is not allowing margin on MBT so I missed out on another unit short which in this case cost me. stock did fall and bought one of two units back at 75.83 +.42 (based on average pricing)
