    Confessions of a successful trader

    ECLP sold for a loss, I made a mistake of getting too much size on that one (relative to volume - i thought it might trade more today), compounding the issue of the idea not working. MDRX still acts ok, running overall about breakeven for the day.

    Confessions of a successful trader

    As a rule i'm out b/f the end of the day. My entries are based on fundamental events/technical levels. My exits are based on technical levels/tape reading. I'm trying for up around 19 on the mdrx exit. around 70 on cern and the eclp isnt acting real hot - at this point i'd be thrilled with 19.80...

    I'm not counting chickens. If mkt keeps rolling over (like u predicted), i can still end up a big fat loser. I'm moving the stop up to 21.49 so if turns bad at least will now be able to limit the loss.
