MKSI, AVL, IMN, MRVL all broke above prev day high for profit. CG popped out of it's channel but saw resistance at 31.50 and faded, not surprising because the move of the market was over. Multiple positions on breakouts will yield profit every time, when the market is rallying. It's the only...

Right. But it seems to me that if all your three buys were sold at a higher price you'd be looking at $1000, not $991. But my figuring could be wrong.

"RIMM good for + $991" Your average buy price for Rimm was $65.57 and average sell price for RIMM was 65.91. That's +.34c or +$340 on 1000 shares. Where did the $991 come from?

At no time today did YHOO give any indication of going up. There was no reason to try a long trade on it. Go long stocks where the last price is higher than the low and higher than the open, in a consistent upward movement, making new highs. That would be like YHOO going the other way.

The patent news was good, but the stock laid down at prev day high and showed no indication of going up.

Did you mean that the exchange had halted trading in the stock? You are correct. I lost interest in ANPI just when it had gone flat at 10:37 (see my 10:40 post). I did'nt realise that it was halted, though. Now I see the gap in the raw data.

I'm doing ok with my strategy, Don. I find all your threads and posts interesting. I will not have anymore to say on this thread because, obviously, I am trading another style, and this is about opening orders, something I know nothing about.

Don, I'm a 2day breakout trader, usually with previous day's high as my stoploss floor. How do you like PFGC today when it broke above prev day's high (25.03) at 10:10am. It topped at 25.89. That's mostly how I trade. I like the 2day breakouts. When you jump on about three of them at the right...

Your trade worked out. Great. Place a trendline accross the high at 9:50 and you'll see where it came back at 12:32 to test for support at the 9:50 high resistance I mentioned earlier, and it then traded up. There was big volume gain working for you in MERQ.

There was intraday resistance at the earlier high at 42.20. An entry at 42.00 would have been very aggressive.

Now I see where you are at. That's not what I'm about on this thread and I will not post any screen shots. But, go ahead and post the screen shots, and keep posting them if you need to show what you do.

Did you take your haldol.

FOXH: bought 30.25, sold 31.00 = .75c X 5000 shares = $3750. How does that sound. All it takes is one breakout, sobemark. But we can't verify any of these trades, can we.

I also missed CATT. I've got to stay away from this thread until I'm done trading.

I missed PFGC.

that's what i said at 10:40am.

The market has gone to sleep, my streaming breakout alerts are coming in slow (means weak to the upside), and CBSMarketWatch is saying "Gains turn slippery". Nothing to do now except watch the index.

The above corrected to ANPI. Mistakenly typed ANIP.

FOXH popped out of consolidation and ran up to just past 31.00. A nice, quick profit for those that had it. ANPI broke above prev high (17.98), but pulled back to 18.00 and basing there. Forget about it.

Best to short stocks that break below the prev day's low on heavy volume.
