Monday......... :( I was out of sync all day.. I Had tweaked my opening orders form over the weekend, and on the opening I got 3 really fast fills, all short. I thought that maybe I had goofed something up and was about to get 20 - 30 fills :eek: So I quickly canceled all the rest...

Thanks Don, That was about as good and succinct an explanation as I have ever seen on any subject here. Makes it really clear. :) The check's in the mail :D

Thanks.. that did the trick

I have found some information on some other threads here and am reading up on the subject of PREM. As with most indicators, there seems to be quite a lot of pro vs con on it's application and usefulness. BTW Don, thanks for the feedback, but I make a lousy student. Incredibly hard headed...

Hi, I had to scrub my hardrive and re-install everything the last couple of days. Before, when I logged in, the username and password (*****) would pop up as soon as I typed the first letter. Now I am required to type in both completely. How can I get the login to pop up defaults as...

Thanks NihabaAshi and illiquid for your thoughts. In answer to some of the comments: I don't look at this particular chart when I am trading, it just happened to be the one I used to post the trades. I have several charts up with multiple time frames and the 20, 69, and 200 ma on them. I...

Illiquid, what I was anticipating was exactly what happened later in the day, a breakdown with a bit of followthrough. The reasoning was that the market really seemed weak, rallies kept coming back to the bottom. If it had been pounding the top for a while, I would have been expecting a...

Anchor, I am a still a newbie, (after doing this off and on for 2+ years). I trade 100 shares at a time. I figure there is no reason to increase my share size til I get some positive consistancy and learn to "read" the market better.

Here are my efforts for Friday. I was finishing some computer tasks in the afternoon so I was not giving my full attention to trading. Missed the big dump I was looking for. I am not real pleased with my efforts, but I had to get things done, or they would have still been there Monday. I...

And the SPY trades...

Here is another journal for your perusal. In it I will attempt to chronical my trading adventures. I would hope to gain some insight from positive critics, and I will certainly gain my own insight from explaining what it was I thought I was doing in a trade. Thanks to nkhoi, I can post...

illiquid, Thanks, you have given me 2 key points to consider. Double bottom failures (and double top "failures") are undoubtedly good entries. (and triple tops/bottoms failures) Also the point that you don't want the breakout/breakdown to come after too long a run. I had written a...

and an ill timed Home Depot short. :(

I'll study up on using Snagit Studio when get a chance. For now, I am content to get a nice clean capture out of Qcharts. here are my adventures in COF. (it is good to try to explain to all of you why I did what I did.)

looks much better, thanks nkhoi for the Snagit suggestion. Needs a bit more work on sizing. I think I will just post the entire length of the day, and use the scroll bars to view back and forth. I'll try it and see how it works.

here is the same screen using Snagit for capture

Thanks nkhoi, I'll check it out.

OK folks.. at least I got something posted.. whaddya think ??????????

here is the rest of the day.....

let's see how this looks..
