SHORT MOS 57.77
STOP 57.90
TGT 57.51

- both MOS and SPY gap down, after 2 red bars SPY shows a lot of strength
- MOS pauses and sets up a nice lower high
- out +0.26

10:26

SHORT WLP 54.31
STOP 54.47
TGT 54.00

- much like MOS, weakness after the open while SPY rips
- out +0.28 (slip in)

15:10

LONG JOYG 66.20
STOP 66.06
TGT 66.48

- JOYG with strength through the day
- long the break of resistance at .20
- Another long setup showed up 30 minutes later, if i was being aggressive i would add a half lot here and move all stops
- Sitting on a 2-0 day I decided to lock in at least some change and move my stop but not add.. counting this as a B/E trade
- out +0.07
