And some @ 54.06

stop - under 50 MA

 

You're getting desperate here Coolweb, you are avg down AND moving your stops lower and lower. A true recipe for disaster!

 

All exited 53.80 -.25 entry (54.05)

All exited 53.80 on 53.22 ( -.40) (small shares)



Problem.

Correlating with oil, I just noticed 5 minutes ago. Thought it was just the stock.

 

It wasn't an average down, I could hjave bought anywhere in between 53.00 - >53.30 as I said earlier, was fine with the risk.


This is a swing trade. Not a daytrade.

so I trade by daily stats.

 

I dont understand what you are seeing in TDW on the long side right now, when you started posting I brought it up and all I saw was someone pelting the bid and ecns flooding lower and lower. The tape didnt show anything for the long side. Was it purely a technical thing?
