MELI: not a great trade either ..at this time i may have been looking at 5 trades or more ..so i tend to cut the ones that aren't working the best..

in:
10:17:10 Buy 300 MELI at 58.72 on ARCA (300 traded @ 58.7200) Executed
out:

no trades this morning ..

the PPT squeeze at the close yesterday and the gap up this morning killed all my patterns ..

thought i was going to get something into the lunchtime selloff ..but it was more of a distribution sell off than a fear driven sell off ..

we will wait and see what tomorrow brings ..

Hey all. Had a couple of trades today. One in GRMN on this mornings fear candle and one on MOS

GRMN didn't bounce that great and proceeded to go lower and even though the trade was profitable by over $500, I am gonna consider it a bad one.

MOS. Well this one I bought the fear candle and flipped it for a bit more than $1. Only to have it run $4 more!

Can't win them all.

Will post the trades later on since I am typing this while at the airport. Have a great day.

Very interesting way of trading - for me more pics would be ery helpful, indeed.

??? What kind of patterns are you talking about - if I may ask?
(if you mentioned it in previous posts - sorry)

What do you use for scanning the markets before the open - unless its a secret?

Thank you.
