    -------------------
    new trades:
    UCO long: buy 46.70 limit, stop loss 45.68, target 50.84

    oil seems ready to bounce.
    UCO filled the gap with an
    hammer and it's forming a
    positive stochastich divergence
    it's close to an intraday + long term
    resistence, buying above that

    USO (1x oil etf)
    didn't filled the gap but bounced
    on gap support which is also right
    on the 200 days moving average

    new trades:
    MPEL short: sell stop 9.80, stop loss 9.98


    MPEL: a rise in volatility and in the
    average daily range lately,
    and lots of close near the
    low of the day with a spike
    of volume on earnings,
    it looks toppy action.
    shorting below intraday
    support ( yesterdays low)

  10. previous day:
    MPEL short: sold 9.81, stopped out 10.00, -1.93% (first minute spike triggered the short right at the low of the day).
    -------------------
    open positions:
    SODA long: no change. (it didn't had a good day yesterday, but there's no alternative stop loss, and it makes no sense taking a small profit here for the short-term trading portfolio)
    NILE short: move stop to 49.38
    LVS short: no change
    --------------------
    new trades:
    HERO long: buy stop 6.49, stop loss 6.36
    HERO Day Trading Target: +0.23$ profit

    long HERO

    untouched by the oil drop,
    forming a bollinger squeeze,
    it's pushing against an
    important resistence line,
    volume is very healthy.
    buying on a breakout above
    resistence
