I can't complain, it's been a great day, but had I held that last long for target, then trailed a stop on the 1-min chart, it would've been an all-time record day for me.

Well I only left a mere point on the table so far.

And all you have to do is follow price and you know to go long not even knowing the news. (Though I imagine we should all just buy and hold at this point, knowing the news.) :p Boys and girls, this is why even you love to counter-trend trade, always place your protective stop because that...

It was my pleasure to give this free clinic today in how NOT to hold trades for target :eek:

Thanks, Kid. That was a "second mouse" entry for me. The price trigger was 87.88, but the slightly LH I shorted earlier made me nervous, so I waited for a level to hold first (turned out to be 87.83 on the 1-min chart), then got in on the second move up from there.

A new pivot line appeared on my chart @ 88.45, which was my target on that b/o. oh boy here it comes again.

Out 88.18 ADD: exited based on a weak-ass b/o

Long .88 stp .82

Seriously, it drops 16 ticks out of the gate and comes all the way back to get me. If I got in with my stop order placed in advance at the proper entry price it would've worked out perfectly. Next time 'll move my stop to the b/e level of where I should've entered the trade. Oh well.

I hate getting stopped by a tick or two :mad: Didn't chase a re-entry because it's still counter-trend.

Stopped out b/e

sh .94, 10-tick stp

Out b/e

Long .04 for the break

Sorry, I see 88.45 on the daily chart as a prev S level

OK, tecchies, that was a textbook measured move.

There's some congestion in my nose from slamming my face against my desk for not taking this last trade. I had my damn finger on the trigger and changed my mind!

This is so typical for us day traders: I was initially long this morning @ 85.75. I'm working way too hard.

Levels anyone? I have R there @ 87.79 (about to break it seems) Wow this thing has gas! Prev S to become R is now 88.87

I'm not long for this break, suffering from too high disease, should run hard now. :p
