I saw the stop based upon your time frame at 1277.00 . I think that would have been a better risk than 80.25 in my view. :)

I noticed that also. I thought about pulling it down but it started moving in my direction so fast I didnt.

For the future I will look at my stops a little better. 4.5 stop for a 5-7pt move is a little risky.

This is too late. Especially up against the daily 200sma.

I would wait for a good setup to go long after lunch.

I agree, however, a smaller stop may be in the noise from time to time, so you may need to do more evaluation. :)

Good job managing the last play.

This is a little early for me to go long. I think after the lunch drag would be a little better. But, You got in so low it may not matter.


Sorry didnt see the big (order in, not filled) Gotcha.

You are right. That was tricky !
I was just counting on the 3rd push down - it was short and quick (10:09 - 10:14am C)

What's with the lunch thing?....Lunch is for wimps.
Stay hungry my friend !
