    Adding to winners not to losers

    That went well, kept adding SPY until the time came to fill the gap where I played defensively. When we got to the gap area I started unloading them, 700 shares total, and left 100 shares for an afterhours trail to close before 8PM since SPY is pretty liquid in the evening session. Here's...

    Saw some strength as we pulled back and decided to get back in, slowly building the position, 100 shares 1st, then 100 more as the market confirmed my suspicion that it was in fact a fake breakdown what I have experienced. Time will tell how this game ends today but I'm back in. NAD

    Adding to winners not to losers

    On Friday I was looking to buy 2000 shares of BRCM around the 44.50 area for a quick long scalp until the close. At approximately 44.84 I got a little desperate and entered half size to enter the other half at 44.50, was mostly afraid of not getting my fills. Of course, the desperation...
