James Brick and Mortar Discretionary Trades

>> End of Trading for the day <<

CRM closed, all closed in fact:

Updated results (afternoon US trading):


FDAX: +161 EUR = +214 US$
CRM: +34$
MCP: +554$
CROX: +1048$
VVUS: +4343$ (turned the loss of 8k to only 3.7k)
HPQ (no trades there, number in screenshot is wrong: in fact -3k)

Total (US Afternoon and After-hours): +6193$

Was worth the extra effort to sit behind the screens again...
Good result, but on a risk of around 10k (if for example Crox went 1.50$ against my 6k position, or VVUS).

Won't be in office for US trading tomorrow (no stocks to watch update).

New total Day: +7'536 $

>> Trade Idea <<

Looking to short Apple: AAPL -4500 around 541.6-4ish.

Looking for some more downside into the close if we get there today (maybe around 535ish), with SP500 negative (which happens very rarely lately), and apple still up a lot it's inviting to take a possible profit for all those who are long.

EDIT: i will actually start shorting right now, not to impact price too much
 
>Trade Open<<

-4500@AAPL @ 541.74

Oo... got it in pretty bad so far, shorting, 541.80-70ish... (aapl 542.7)

position is on... scenario intact, just seems like i got faked into it by some decent selling and possible stop hunting...
 
>> Trade Update <<
Working out pretty good...
Took off almost all by now, in nice 50 pieces packages along the way down...

Entry was really horrible at that time... note to myself, if i want to do this towards closing weakness trade next time, i shouldnt get in before 30 minutes to close...

The wide stop played out very good... with a joe average stop of 545 i would have gotten out very bad...

Will post profit loss when trade is fully covered.
 
>> Trade Close <<

Took remainder off at entry level.
The apples fell into my basket the whole way down, with lowest buy @ 535.86


A nice 10'445$ Profit on Apple. (on risk of ~23k $)

Would be out of office most of the rest of the week again... this apple trade just seemed so easy (which it wasn't)
