    Once again, SP tries to tug down ND, biotechs strong -- sounds like a broken record. . .

    EBAY was one I noticed but didn't act on; after my morning trades I just didn't feel like pushing. Chart divergences are capable of identifying opportunities every day in a variety of stocks, but keep in mind that those specialists whose eyes are glued to the same stocks day in and day out...

    SYMC was shorted with the idea of hedging the CHKP long. Thinking of it as a strict "pair" trade was pretty unnecessary, and the SYMC short could have just been considered safety hedge. As you can see from the chart, early on SYMC was the stronger of the two, and the breakout over 31...

    A daily chart for CHKP. Using daily charts for setting up intraday trades is a somewhat dicey practice, as you really need to put faith in the larger time frame (stops naturally have to be wider than a trade based on the 5 or 15 min) or else you will be shaken out easily -- as I was earlier...

    Amazing, traded half the day before I even looked up to notice Dow down 300pts, I've got just about all nasdaq on my screen and they didnt trade a fraction as badly w/ exception of MSFT. Maintaining short SYMC/long CHKP; tempted to leave break-even stop on CHKP and walk away -- envisioning...

    A real slugfest as DJ continues to lead lower, SOX clings to gains and biotechs keep breaking the highs. I normally would want to be looking for some biotech to go long but that ugly exit in MLNM put the cherry on a frustrating morning, and my general rule is to keep hands off after a poor start.

    Sold out of MLNM @ 9.37, other biotechs are acting much better and I may look to get long again, but seems like this mornings pain just wasn't enough yet.

    NQ carving out a little H&S pattern, 987 a level to watch; secondary biotechs continue higher. Thnks for the EMC tip, but usually don't trade any NYSE.

    EBAY for one, a weak divergence @ 11:45 right above low of days is always a decent setup.

    Missing some decent, lower risk opportunities as I sit with my 3 mediocre positions -- always need to remind myself to be patient, wait for more optimal setups.
