Didn't get in front of the screens till almost 10am
10:13
LONG M 24.07
STOP 23.97
TGT 24.27
- Whole sector is up, M gaps up and really strong.
- I was late to the party and bought the top, I should have been concerned with the big red selloff bar on SPY as the initial positive reaction to 10am #s could have been a headfake
- out -0.11
10:16
SHORT STEC 19.93
STOP 20.04
TGT 19.71
- SPY gapped down then retraced into the 10am #s
- STEC stayed weak
- Short the tight lower high under the #
- Stop should have been hit a few bars later but it didn't fire, little scary.
- out +0.22
10:17
SHORT SNDK 50.21
STOP 50.33
TGT 50.00 (shouldn't have cheated this)
- Same story as STEC, held in a tight range at the lows while SPY tried to retrace
- Big selloff bar with the market, tight lower high
- I cheated the tgt at 50.00 as I didn't want to cross a round # and option strike.. Blew right by it.
- out +0.20
