    Bought 15 more shares at $140.45. Still a small trade overall. We'll see.

    Just bought 30 more shares at $141.02, since the SP500 and the DOW are holding up nicely. Maybe these small-caps (IWM) will bounce back. I'll bite off just 30 shares this time.

    My balance is showing a daily profit ("Realized P/L") of $33.05. Not sure where that extra nickel came from, haha. He probably filled me at $141.4204 or something like that, but it doesn't show me the fractional pennies.

    He stopped me out, and I got filled at $141.42. $33 profit.

    I had to hold the stock while it traded down to $140.79. I was debating where and when to sell. However, it has rebounded nicely since then, and I have decided to place my stop at $141.20, guaranteeing me a profit on this trade.

    I bought 100 shares of IWM at $141.09, because as I was scanning through the charts, more of them looked bullish than bearish. Also, there is a decent and likely looking target at $142.08 with IWM, which I circled on the chart. This is not a high-conviction trade, but I think it's worth a shot.

    AMZN was trading higher in the premarket, but since opening has traded downward, and is negative for the day. It is also moving away from $2500 rather than towards it.

    SPY looks like it might want to trade down to my red trend line, which would be about a $3.00 drop.

    Discover (DFS) looks like it wants to go to $52 before it goes down to $50.

    In the premarket, while scanning through the SP500, the Nasdaq 100, and the Dow30 stocks, I did not find any possible trades that I could take with conviction, even after the opening bell. The old trader adage rings true here, "If you don't know, don't go". Meaning sit tight, and wait for the...

    Had 109 SPXL which I held over the weekend and closed this morning profitably. Otherwise just had some small daytrades in SPXL at the end of the day. Rather uneventful day.

    Haha Max, yes, I realize it's a lot. I can't really answer your questions other than to say I just feel like doing it at this time. I'm not sure for how long, but we'll see. Is it bothersome to you or other Elitetraders? It is not my intention to bother anybody here. It's easy for people to...

    Just after noon. Amazon still rolling over. Indexes flatlining/basing. And Agilent edging higher. Not much to grab onto here. Will be breaking for lunch soon, perhaps taking cursory glances at the market from my phone as I lunch. Click the chart below to enlarge it, if you want to see it...

    Agilent continuing to climb, but I don't want to buy it up here. I don't trust it. I should have bought it earlier when it was just below $89.00. Perhaps at $88.88 or whatever. Now I will have to wait for a pullback, and make a judgment call at that time.

    Agilent breaking to new highs for the day, teasing me with that $90 target just ahead.

    Domino's Pizza (DPZ hitting an all-time high today, and also approaching the $400 mark. Might be another stock to buy during a rally.

    Will Agilent (A) hit $90 soon? Might be a good stock to buy if a market rally occurs, especially after 3pm.
