Quote from sobemark:
usually at the break of the bands i get nice snap backs, but today the action wasn't there .. i had to fight for scalps ..and power in and out of some trades ... overall the morning was profitable but it was a bit of a struggle ..
actually thought MERQ would gap and trap so i went short at the open seeing lots of resistance in the 42 area .. MERQ obviously never really set up and i should have looked closer at my model ..
MERQ loser here .. net -$160

Nice day Sobemark. I started off well with a short on AMZN after it gapped in the first half hour, and a couple long trades of YHOO when it kept bouncing higher from 34.80. Unfortunately, I went to the well a few times too many on YHOO and ended up slightly down on the day. I did not anticipate that YHOO would gap down so quickly from 34.80 to 34.40, and then continue lower. But tomorrow is a new day. I still think we get a big bounce sometime this week.
