EUO TRADE ENTRY 2.6.15 Entry was added on the day's move back higher. Point of Failure stop will be the swing low.

ADDED TO FCG AT THE 2.6.15 CLOSE Price was holding up, added to the position. Looking for it to move higher before it turns lower. stop-loss will be raised tighter on the entire position to reduce the loss on this latest entry add, and to lock in gain on the 1st entry. Goal is to see the...

xiv- I had a position fill Thursday going into the close- I elected to add to the account on Friday with a buy-stop-limit order- which filled at the open as price moved higher- on the positive jobs report. Sentiment turned, and xiv declined- both positions exited at the same stop $26.90 for...

XLE- I'M still holding XLE outside of the IB account-but it ties into the FCG trade as well. it was a decent entry into the XLE , and price is profitable, and approaching the declining trend line and prior swing high level- both could present resistance, & profittaking by those employing...

The xiv position filled coming out of the gate and then turned, and the total position stopped out for a quick loss shortly after 1 pm today . I had tightened the stop-loss level- and had expected we would get a good jobs report- So, it made sense to add to this trade- and the direction...

setting up the XIV trade for Friday. XIV has been penetrating the $ $28.00 level. I will add to my position if XIV hits my buy-stop entry $28.10 - limit $28.25. My original entry is $27.82.

Thanks Market-2.05.2015 a rally day! Stops weren't hit- market sectors gained 1-1.5%- my positions gained 2 -3.5%. Another day like today and i may get optimistic- but looking to get 2-3 days in a row upside move may be asking alot. Jobs report pending premarket tomorrow! This...

I have been reducing my investment exposure to equities in the investment account- Holding a larger Bond position. This is likely simply an extension of the discomfort i feel with the present market volatility- But, I had to ask myself- What is the upside potential vs the downside...

I'm getting multiple small cuts- with the end result being the account is losing value in this whipsaw market. a big rally yesterday, followed by a sell day today- Greece news is once again moving this market. The XIV trade opened higher and flipped around lower mid day on "NEWS" . The...

2.3.2015- Go Figure- the market rallies as Oil moves higher-!Outside of the trading account, XLE moved up nicely The FCG trade popped 6% - always nice to focus on a winning trade- but I was also aggressively short with DOG & EUO- although I had tightened stops to just under the recent...

2.2.15 Energy found reason to rally today- USO moved higher- markets also closed higher- My biotech positions didn't rally-with the market- I find that troublesome..... The EUO trade weakened. While the currency may be a sell, The stocks may continue to be a better buy than the US...

didn't upload the chart- Trying again.

i'M PLEASED THAT THE TRADE DID NOT TAKE OUT MY RAISED STOPS TODAY. The Market giveth , and the Market Taketh! The market indexes all closed down today over -1% across the boards- This chop-chop- up one day and down the next volatility will tear up a trader's account- In the Trading...

the EUO trade- What happens when you get to the party way late? All the good stuff has been drank up- I think this may have further upside eventually, but the immediate momentum has gone in the other direction. This will be another losing trade .

wELL, i GOT THAT WRONG! I was filled at $9:47 am as the DOG trade jumped higher out of the gate and activated my buy-stop order waiting for an upmove. It was a good fill based on the order-activation price was $23.80- filled $23.82- limit $23.95. I got an e-mail this am that the...

Today started off- I had put in a buy-stop on Dog, and FCG last night. Both partial positions dividing the remaining freed cash in the Trading account- I got the 1st e-mail notice that DOG had filled on my buy-stop -limit- @ $23.82- Only 40 shares unfortunately. The FCG trade never touched...

BRKB- MEANT TO GET AROUND TO THIS- BRKB has been in a declining wedge- I took a real time entry as it appeared at that moment, that there was a probability that price would break above the decline line- I based that assumption on the prior day's strong reversal and higher close off the lower...

Wow- Easy come and easier go! Just caught the 12:00 view of the market action, All indexes down 1.5-2% certainly doesn't favor my positions- So, the 2% I had recouped will be away again by the end of the day. For better or worse, I cannot access my Trading account from an unsecured access...

Today looks to have been a good day- The trading account positions overall gained from Friday, and have put the account back to the prior high- making up for the prior past weeks decline. The one negative on the day was the EUO trade- down 1% - but Biotech + 1.7% , healthcare + 1.4 % ...

the xiv trade has outperformed the $spx 2:1- but with a higher beta 1.12. looking at the attached chart, trading on this looks intimidating -
