Hit target and walked away...but felt was lucky and didn't have edge

AMZN - Followed @gtotoy in this one and took profits WAY TO EARLY but great call out

AMRN - Long looked good but was wrong, lucky to take off for small gain

LVS - Great entry but still a little quick on exit

Ended day green but took all winners off TOO QUICK thus red on week until i learn this lesson!!

LVS - Bottom pattern so went long but bailed at support.  LEARN TO ADD OTHER 1/2 AT SUPPORT

GS - Long off bottom but shaken out

AAPL - Great long but WAY TO QUICK ON TAKING WINNERS OFF

Green day, better trades but still not sticking to target plans

Right idea, good entries but not sticking to exit plan and getting out of winning trades WAY TOO QUICK AS I FEAR TAKING A LOSS! 3 Trades would have yielded much more profits if stuck to targets and didn't bail so quick.  LEARN!

CRUS - Long off strength but didn't add on typical flag into rising MA

GMCR - Long on 47 break, but chased a little and didn't let full profits realize.

LVS - Good entry, should have added at support instead of take loss when bounced

AMRN - Missed opportunity

Much more relaxed today, only took 2 trades and both for losers but kept good stops

My CPU crashed during my GS trade, took 10 minutes to get up and running, really freaked me out.  Ended up taking a loss but it wasn't due to the cpu crash, it was just not a great trade.  Great learning lesson though as 1st time that happened.


AMZN - Short on roll over, hindsight says should have bought pullback and not shorted

GS - Long at consolidation and 50MA test but wrong

Tuesday, April 24, 2012

Overtraded BAD, was way too panicky. Red day

WAY TO MANY TRADES.  Need to cut losers and let winners run.

SINA - Several attempts for crumbs

NFLX - Multiple attempts but miss-traded badly.  Need to stick to plan.

GS - Shorted into support while it was extended. BAD MOVE

X - Reversion long but too big position too fast

OIH - Used limit long and never filled BUT RIGHT ON TRADE, ERRR.


LVS - Great entry but really micro managed and didn't let winner run

AMZN - Tuff trader today
