SHORT CELG 57.3
STOP 57.38
TGT 57.14
- Was on daily short list
- Gapped up with market but tanked
- Market stayed green, CELG red
- short the lower high
- out b/e
9:51
LONG NOV 65.35
STOP 65.11
- Gap and go from the open while SPY pulled back from it's gap up
- out -0.27
9:53
SHORT BBT 26.79
STOP 26.86
TGT 26.65
- I probably should not have shorted this at all as BBT was on my daily long list
- Exceptional weakness vs SPY
- Basing at the lows against support
- Short the break
- I havn't made a mistake like this since my first few months trading (which is only like 6 months ago) but I ended up LONG instead of short on the break.
- Of course I get this wrong on a home run and I end up closing out my long -0.08.
- I'm counting this as a winner as the setup was great but the execution was about as bad as it could get
9:58
LONG SNDK 50.76
STOP 50.68
- All tilted from BBT I take this higher low
- Lesson learned?
- out -0.1
10:05
LONG V 80.57
STOP 80.4
TGT 80.91
- At this point I'm 1-2-1 in theory but my P&L looks like 0-3-1 so I take this half size
- V at the highs while SPY at the lows
- As SPY bounces off the bottom take V
- out +0.31
10:10
SHORT TSL 23.57
STOP 23.71
TGT 23.29
- See above, take this half size too
- Just weak from the open
- out +0.28
- At this point My P&L looks like a 1-3-1 day even though my calls were 3-2-1.. ugh.
14:23
LONG AMZN 176.22
STOP 176.05
- SPY pulled back from the highs
- AMZN put in a tight higher low in it's range
- I took this while very zoomed in and didn't realize AMZN was actually pretty low in it's daily range
- out -0.20
14:50
SHORT WYNN 100.80
STOP 100.94
TGT 100.52
- SPY at the highs, WYNN at the lows
- Short the support break, give a little wiggle on the stop as 10c is not enough
- out +0.28
4-3-1 day where my P-L looked like a 2-4-1 day (basically b/e)..
