    No Stops. Since these are swing trades it is like slow motion to me.

    TOST: Sold @ 18.66. Meh entry. small profit
    ZM: Looking for BE tomorrow. Meh entry again. Looks weak. GTC order placed.
    ROKU: Looking for the breakout. Will trim 1/2 position if it tests 103 this week.

    Initial targets are either breakouts or top of range-overshoots. But as things unfold, adjustments are made. (see above :))

    Edit: Just checked the indexes med term picture. We should have more to go this week. If it were knocking on the double top, I would go neutral today.

    How did we get there?

    On you position size, is a full position a certain percentage of your portfolio or does it have to do with the percent of the portfolio at risk?

    * missed putting in a buy on Roku. Sorry for not being clear.

    Allocation are total amount, not "at risk". Maybe simpler: An allocation is 25K, up to 8.

    Sold all ZM @ 70.81. Moving to sidelines over the long weekend and Middle East action, ZM did well versus the market.

    Only position is Roku
