+960 Got lucky with aapl, but not everyday so lucky

+164 Watching my postion size like a hawk, realise reckless sizing up lead to my losses BAck to small size 100, 200

Actually what i meant was: During today's morning course of action, i bought aapl, then it went down, so i sold it. And i short it, then it goes up, and i cover it. Got whipsawed up down Then i bought it again, and i sold it and off computer, went to sleep, was down with flu, only to...

- 94 Today traded only GS at 10:30am, going with the EMA down, so short GS at $158.37, only to quickly cover at $158.27, seems that it is reversing fast. Wanting to short this morning AAPL HPQ after 10am, but the fall is so fast that dunno which price point to enter short, was looking at 3...

-94 feeling weird today

Got back home too late, so make a quick post here, the major trade is AAPL: At 10:36am, i sell short AAPL at $199.94, too low a price, and i was taken out quickly with Stop loss -$48 at $200.17 at 10:39am, size 200 At 11:53am , buy $199.74 and cut loss $199.56 -$38, ema still showing down...

+77 today Use 3 min chart bar chart with 20 bar EMA today, thanks NoDoji, it is good, eliminate the noise, and will know it is uptrend or downtrend, but weird thing is: dare not short since the price is so low but the EMA is showing down. So today most of the trade is the EMA is showing...

+77 against the trend again, but honour all stops, even cut before hitting stops

Another reason for me to buy AAPL at 2:48pm at $202 is because i saw IBM at 2:48pm is rebounding, i'm expecting some kind of correlation between these 2 tech stocks, so since IBM is rebounding a little, i thought AAPL will rebound somehow too, but instead AAPL falls down straight to 201.2 So...

Actually i think i better trade continuation uptrend or downtrend, those trend which shows not going anywhere i better not predict it will rebound or reverse, let's see next week, which is coming tomorrow - I'll try to honour my stop, good thing is i never average down last week. - Bad...

I'm using 5 days chart but 1 min interval, so i can zoom out to see 5 days, but zoom in to see 1 day intraday, and all are in 1 minute interval, are you using 3min/5min interval or timeframe?

Thanks for your detail explanation, i know what you mean now. Actually CLF is slowly creeping up by midday, then push up in price. For AAPL, it has been falling for sometime. Then after i bought at 202, the price fall so fast to 201.2, i was just staring at the screen, too late to cut...
