STOP LEVEL IN DIG WAS REACHED TODAY. The question was asked if i was chasing the stock- would it not have been better to Buy at the lower level- and closer to my "I want to be right" stop posted on the prior chart- Anytime you can purchase close to the point where you want to exit the trade...

The HACK trade- Wow- cramer is promoting cyber security tonight! I think I mentioned the HACK trade when I initially made it- It's not a large position, I own it outside of the IB account and also in my wife's account. Much of what we trade, we tend to have a 'belief in' - This gets...

2.17.2015 Ice day- home. Good opportunity to get caught up and make some liesurely trading decisions. I hold a small position in Hack- - It is an ETF with a focus on cyber stocks- I think this market segment will likely see continued demand going into the future- I don't think...

BRKB - 2-13-2015 closing trade did not look "happy"- My net concern is that it is not behaving well and should be walking hand in hand with the SPY as it made a new high. The lag on BRKB could be seen also as reason for concern that the SPY move may not have underlying investor...

SSO -i TOOK AN ENTRY HERE AFTER PRICE HAS BROKEN HIGHER . Notice the up and down swings in the prior weeks would have led one to see a lot of whipsaw entry signals. I am setting the initial stop at the bottom of the below resistance/support swing low 126.00- but this is the temporary stop to...

PJP- PJP was moving higher while IBB was struggling- pjp is up 6% this 2015 year-

Getting back to present trades- FCG took me out this week after adding 100 shares to the position. I raised the stop loss to make it a minor loss should I get taken out- which occurred on the entire position. My lower entry was sold for a gain, the later entry for a slightly larger loss...

2.10.15 HMM, I have taken my own advice- DVR was filled up- got in late- see a market that tried to move up 1%. 1/2 of my FCG position got stopped out $10.89 just under my averaged cost of entry-I raised the remaining stop now to this same level- price has moved higher after the swing...

Worked late, surprise- no positions sold off today! All were down -but slightly- The little bit I'm catching on the DVR- Gartman suggesting short the EURO- go long gold against the Euro. Glancing at the GLD- selling off the last few weeks- and today's close was still under the gap level...

2.8.15 SUNDAY-- THE XLF TRADE. Charts, trend line- I bought an entry position -45 shares- of XLF at the close. Listening to the news and talking heads, you get conflicting information- again- it's about what the FED is or is Not going to do, where rates will go etc. Some thinks...
