Weinstein Trading and Fading

Quote from bigpapi:

Wishing I would have done that yesterday at around 1 p.m. perfect set-up and it rocketed up, I'll keep a closer eye on it now keeping that in mind, I like to trade it off the pivots but it's like a wild bull ride sometimes, it goes crazy for no apparent reason.

AIG gave us Lamborghini, condo in NYC and lots of money supporting the orphans... it's our darling stock ... same as BID... donating lots of $$$$$$
:D :D :D
 
Quote from Robert Weinstein:

Pretty good day of trading.

Great results but I think I could have done a better job of trading. Some trades that didn’t need to be taken where ITMN PSYS. ROVI could have been taken at a higher price when I shorted it. They all worked out well especially ROVI but I can improve by raising the selective entries.
ITMN was little more than a scalp and the risk v reward was not as good as it should have been. PSYS was during the close and again a scalp but I would have been just as well off passing on it.

ROVI gave conflicting entry prices as well as missed a couple of scalps by a penny so I was not able to build up my basis price as much as I would have liked. I guess my feel for the stock was correct as it looked way overdone but I didn’t stick around long enough to really get a lot of the downward move. I became very focused on the 10min 9MA that it was bouncing on and felt that it might find support there and carry back higher. As it was near but not target I took the gain and covered but my exits rules don’t have it as a factor like a round number might. ROVI was a B8 short. + 412

RSH was a great short both times I shorted it and I probably should have become much more aggressive with it the second time as it really was extended. + 244

HRBN gave a great gapup signal that I executed perfectly even if I did get stopped out of some of the shares before making target with the rest. + 152

ITMN + 20
PSYS + 17

+ 847

Good Job Bob... Hope this year is a better year for you in trading.:D

Mind sharing some tips on taming this beast?

just like taming any other beasts ... u gotta give him tender loving cares!:)(have u seen the lion called christian and his adopted parents? when they met again in africa after many years apart...he run to them and kissed them...oooooooooh...he made me cried... sometime i really do think beast is better than human because some people don't even talk to their parents when they grown-up. :)

okie! to be able to tame this stock or any other stock ... first u must be very good at T.A and F.A and do lots of research on that stock and on the domestic and international economy related to that stock...H-F trading and always have 1st-hand info on that stock ..calculate the risk/reward ratio and the reward must be much, much bigger than the risk!

The trader must posses high I-Q and E-Q...must be "open-minded" just follow the flows ... up or down .. the trader must be cool and steady ... strike hard at the target and you tamed the beast!

Sounded easy huh? :D
 
Missed more than one by less than five cents today

Not a lot of fun to watch a setup come within a few cents but I stuck to my guns and was in the end rewarded for doing so. I probably could have just passed on IMAX but the other trades where great from start to finish. I would still give IMAX a passing grade and it was not bad it was just that IB ran out of shares to short and that greatly increased my risk so I exited right at the price it was trading.
IMAX + 55

CLNE was scalped and a little more than scalped for most of the gains. I did finally make target but at that point I did not have many shares left as the time was approaching the close. I am glad I did exit when I did has the price made a final push higher (before falling back again) during the last half hour. I would have most likely stopped out at a lower gain. I would not rate it as ‘good as it gets’ but I would be more than happy if this type of price action fell into my lap everyday. B8 + 304

BYMB MW1 + 41

NTRI was a nice trade. shorted during the first move above 17 and caught the retrace pretty close to as much as I could ask for. This stock has been beatup pretty bad so I didn’t try to push for larger gains with this low priced stock. MW1 + 106

+ 508
 
Slow day even for a Friday.

Very little going on today. I did make a couple of trades but I also lowered my size at the entry point so I could add heavy if there was any carry through. As it turns out there was none. I hit the top of the move in both cases and my day was done within 45 minutes of starting. I had a couple of trades that I “wanted” to take but where outside the rules of entry at this time so I passed
ARO Gapup + 31
SVU MW1 + 36

+ 67
 
Only one trade today

My one trade was PVH and it didn’t take more than half an hour today. It was a gapup that I was able to get full target along with some scalping. It did fall further than my cover price but I was very happy to have an excellent setup like this on a day when the market was mostly lower.
I also had a couple of close ones that “almost” made it but otherwise it was an uneventful day.
PVH BW + 320

+ 320
 
One nice open trade and an IPO today

All in all another day of sideways action. The SPY moved up a little bit but nothing to get excited about.
ONXX gapped up and I faded the move with small size and was able to capture a gain. + 119
FNGN was an IPO today on its first day. GS was a lead underwriter and it became pretty clear that they meant business when they started changing things like the timing of the open and the price. With as much pressure as they have been under lately to justify their costs and with MS nipping at their heels I expected FNGN to not close under 15 today. This is not a signal and falls into discretionary trading so I kept the size at 100 shares in one trade and 200 shares in another. I had no idea how well this stock was going to do when I took my gains and found that I was leaving more on the table than I took. My first buy was under 15 which I closed out with a nice gain and then I bought again at 16.03 on a retrace but closed that out way too soon when viewed from hindsight. I did well in that I made the goal I set so no complaints. + 138
BSX + 4

+ 262
 
Slow but fun day

Not many trades today and nothing after the open. I did have a friend stop in and watch the opening action so that was a pleasant change for my normal solo opening trades.
ABII Gapup BW1. Went well and was able to trade it twice getting target both times. Traded small size on both trades. + 404
JACK BW1 only 100 shares but did well with this trade. + 46
MDCO another BW1 that was found a little late and at a better price. I increased the share size by a small amount and ended up doing well with it. I was stopped out with a trailing stop before it fell and hit my target for the final shares but happy in that I hit the short at the peak of the move. + 207

+ 657
