ADBE was alittle oversold on the daily chart and set up a higher low on the 5 min chart. Granted at the time of entry the market didn't look that strong, but looks a bit more healthy now.

Scorpiano, Let's dig deeper into the mind and look back at last week, actually friday. How does a "trader" handle these situations?: You enter a trade(RIMM) and it gets .01 from tgt. You get ready to hit a lower price to lock in a gain but it falls out of your price tgt range. As it...

02/24/09: OK..This is for tues a.m.: I REALLY like ADBE long scalp(poss. over a 2min high). In best case.....ADBE gaps down, then I buy over the 30 sec. high. If it gaps up then have to wait to see how it moves and poss. buy the first higher low. WELCOME TO THE MIND OF A (PART TIME)...

NOD QUOTE:Offered 9.15 HOTT. My first inclination was to offer 9.10 which was the HOD and that inclination was the right one, because it hit 9.11 and dropped off nicely. So later I lowered my standards and offered 9.07, which eventually filled. Set a target @ 8.91, just a bit above the LOD and...

After a multi-day selloff I was waiting for some 5 min higher lows....RIMM did a 100%(13:00-13:10) retrace of it's last 5 min selloff, then put in a higher low(13:20), taking a stab at this one.

02/23/09: Monday a.m. looking to take a long scalp on the first pullback, if we hold the gap.Overall, for the day i have a long(scalp) bias, but if we start to get some wide range bars down I am always open for a scalp short...... Also, looking for a stock or 2 that are not gapping up, and...

I consider myself a "salty vet" in trading, although I only do it part time, but I have to say when I started out I wish I read a thread like this: With all the insight into what goes though a traders mind during the day. I hope the noobs realize how insightful this is to see what goes on in...

I actually made money on this trade, but it's the fact that I was at work and didn't take the time to make sure entry/stop/tgt , were correct...that's what bothers me. Not taking the extra 3 seconds to insure everything is entered correctly. Thedifference between a novice and a pro.......learn...
