  1. Yes, I was front running an Inverted H&S breakdown with a trigger around 57.3. But this did not happen. THe big picture pattern is still there.

    I am thinking of covering 1/2 the amount at scratch and leaving the other 1/2 for the trend.

  3. Yeah I was holding for the the trend, but I could not turn down the good profit. Large range day already.

    Covered KLAC 56.70 +2.15

    If it gets a good bounce off its lows and reverses, i'll see about getting back in

    Would you mind explaining the technical reasons for the NVDA long position?
