James Brick and Mortar Discretionary Trades

>> Trade Open <<

Long 9 Dax 6915.5, looking for a strong move into the close with lack of selling pressure (which i'd expect given the moves the past 15 min).

Stop time and price dependant, around 6900 or on market close + 5min
 
>> Position closed <<
Last part back stopped out at entry.

Profit/Loss after Commission of the past two trades (first loss on long, than profit on short):

combined:

+1451 EUR = +1925 US$
________________

New Balance: 520'219 (+20'219)
 
>> Trade Open <<

Short 5 FDAX@6908.

Gapup but no continued strength after official open, looking for a gap close to 6880.
Stop 6950
 
>> Trade Close <<

After shortly going <6900 new buyers coming in.
Closed Position at entry and slightly above.
-161 EUR


EDIT: very random moves now, I call it a day for European markets and will be back for US Open
 
It looks like i got very unlucky on that small pullback which led me to close the position...

overnight future gap got closed already, and very weak right now
 
--- US Market Outlook ---

Interesting Stocks:

MOS +4,5% - some environmental related news on its mines

-without knowing too much yet, this is screaming "FADE PLZ"...
- i'm reading up on it right now, and might take a short position into the open or right after open

GRMN - up 11% after earnings:

- ultra strong into the earnings, and even managed to beat those expectations
- though it is not clear how it will move post-open, it's likely to build some momentum at some point in early trade... up could lead to option hedge and short squeeze related momentum, down to profit taking.
- watch this one very closely

and of course:
DELL - down 6% post earnings:

- same as GRMN looking for momentum
- DELL went pretty strong into the earnings.
- Premarket price action gives no signal whatsoever what to expect. probably moving back and forth right after open w/o clear trend established.
