+ $220 There's a lot of money on that table from my TGT overnight short; if you find it please share :p Still missing good entries, but also catching more than usual by being a bit more proactive in placing my orders.

One trade - TGT short - holding overnight. Worked on several stock charts and setups with my better half most of the day. Tried to short MA during end of day run up and couldn't get my target entries in edgewise.

Everyone I know who cashed out of the market said, "I'm not getting back in till after the election." Everyone. The question of course is how long after the election - 1 month or 1 decade :D :eek: :D

+ $323 Covered my spare 160 shares of DVA @ 54 when they opened lower on an earnings miss for a $200 gain. Shorted TGT at 40.46 on stochastic overbought not too far from the HOD. It rose a bit, dropped, bounced off the 20-period SMA not far from my entry price, so I set a target of 40.30...

+ $323 Didn't do a whole lot today, but 3 out of 3 ain't bad :)

Yes, been playing UAUA long and short and in fact it's been a money-maker even in the tight ranges of the mid-day doldrums, great for predictable .20 cent moves.

UAUA has been fantastic lately.

The plot thickens: Normally I would not mind accidentally being short overnight 160 shares of a stock that's trading near the top of its 52-week range. However, in studying my earnings calendar for the coming week I just saw that they report earnings Monday morning. :eek: :confused: :eek:

- $277 After MA established resistance, I placed a short offer at 144. The price was hit for about a nanosecond (it was the absolute top of that run up), but my order did not get filled. I must've waited too long to place and someone else got in before the drop. Next rally I was less...

- $277 I got a partial fill on closing a trade and no one knows why, so holding some shares overnight.

Not posting yet because I inexplicably have a partial position in a stock whose target price was not only hit but exceeded significantly, so I have to call the broker now.

IMHO, shorting in extended hours after bad earnings news, IF you catch it quickly is pretty solid. Also if you know how a company's stock reacts to earnings and its support/resistance, you can probably do well. I made a very accurate call on AAPL's recent action based on having watched and...

+ $96 I was still in a "short the rally" mode today and really should've been taking advantage of the stable market and great short squeezes to go long. Spent most of the day tag team shorting UAUA rallies with my husband (he can short via IB). Netted $486 on those moves, but my charts and...

+ $96 Also, tag teamed with my IB-based husband shorting UAUA rallies for a $500 gain, not posted here though. Left money all over that table bickering about best entry points, ha! :p

Thanks 1R :) When I follow my plans and listen to the chart action, it works out for the best. It's SO hard to do that sometimes!

I agree with this 100%. Wait for your highest probability setups, then put on the trade. If you miss an entry, don't chase, just wait for the next strong setup. I suggest you pick one or two stocks to trade exclusively for a day. This will have several advantages: 1. It will force you to...

1R, I love your "POS Stock" strategy :p

I believe this question is appropriate for a P&L thread: Does anyone know where to find the table that everyone's always leaving money on? :D (Please answer with today or tomorrow's P&L post so we don't clutter up this thread.)

+ $523 Lots of missed entries, but managed to get a couple :)

+ $523 Tried to short AMGN twice and missed entries by pennies. So after the second major rally of the morning failed to establish a new high, I decided to short the next rally with a mental stop at the previous rally’s high and a target profit based on holding a ruler up to establish the...
