SHORT RIG 76.56
StOP 76.8
TGT 76.08
- SPY gaps down but heads up, RIG heads lower making a little triangle
- got into this all sized wrong, realized i shouldn't be in this due to the daily

- out -0.24
10:00
LONG GS 173.51
STOP 173.28
TGT 173.97
- news at 10am seemed good, get long over GS higher low
- whipped out, got the direction right
- out -0.34
10:09
LONG JPM 45.21
STOP 45.04
TGT 45.52
- Basically the same trade as GS, same result too
- JPM ended up at tgt and higher an hour later
- out -0.18
10:16
SHORT AIG 54.72
STOP 55.01
TGT 54.14
- AIG very weak from the open, look for continuation
- Short under the lower high at the lows, stop over the round #
- out -0.38
I wasn't even planning on trading today but my GF woke me up with 5min to the open asking me "arn't you going to trade the open?". I should have said no. RIG was a bad trade. I got the general direction of the other 3 correct, just one of those days..
4-10 week (oof), 8-15 month.. I'm getting used to these cold starts to the month..
Go Pats. Pats -9.5 is unbettable IMO. Jets +346 has some value to hedge my heart. Seattle +10 looks good too..
