Spydertrader's Jack Hershey Equities Journal II

TSCM lesson learned.

TSCM ran up just past my 10% ($12.14) point but I didn't have an order sitting there so I was stuck with it all the way down to my 5% trailing stop ($11.63). I didn't set the limit order to sell 1/2 my position until after that missed high was past and it was never filled. *sigh*

So I made 5% on the position which is good, but I let a good winner slip past.

I'm still in PWEI, up about 1/2%

Well so it did! I always suspected the market knew what a nice guy I was and how deserving.

Traded up to 28.54! At least you realized your profits which is more than I can say. Well, let's see what it does tomorrow...


Did anyone place any trades today? I got a few volume alerts, but didn't take any of them. The planets didn't align for me.

Hmmm. My culling program rejected that one due to insufficient float. What float did you get Spyder?

Yahoo float: 7,691,000
MSN float: 3,908,000
Fidelity: 11,201,000
Clearstation: "11.20 Mil"

My program uses MSN float since yahoo's is apparently unreliable.
(It's starting to look like I should ditch MSN and Yahoo altogether)

QCharts places float at 5.4 million shares - just above our required threshold.

Actually it seems quite easy to re-create it. You have to input only the 3rd column of data, everything else is formula based. Isn't it?

The 3rd column is the daily volume skew. I don't know where it originates from, and how accurate it is over various stocks and indices.
