Able to learn lesson from yesterday and utilize for great gains

On chasing stocks, today i started with 1/2 position and add on pullback.

NFLX - great long and the add saved me

GMCR - Short on test of declining 20MA

WYNN - Anticipatory long on pullback

COH - Shorted early, good call but off on timing

Got my butt kicked

I'm really having difficultly from some great trading lessons using hindsight and implementing those lessons real time.  Here are some great examples of mistakes that i don't see until after the mess.

AMZN - Short at previous day high, ate -.75 and switch to long to get stopped out again
EXAMPLE OF HOW TO TRADE OF PREVIOUS DAY RANGE!

CLF - Long on strength but mismanaged position

BIDU - Long on bounce of 200MA but mismanaged trade again

FSLR - Long off base but failed, missed the previous short

AMZN was great trader with 3 trades

AMZN - Great gapdown to previous lows and bounced, then 2 shorts

FSLR - caught small bounce

NFLX - Great target short but didn't execute it, great lesson though

Great lesson to review

Pic of daily for homework but forgot to set alert before market open.  #LEARN
FMCN - Huge move

Great day to take the week from Red to Green

WFM - Breakout long that i didn't trade as well as i should have

SINA - Short that failed but exited flat, good defense

WYNN - Missed the HUGE Long as scared to chase but @gtotoy nailed it.  But i did catch a GREAT short

Down in the dumps, loser day again.

TGT - looks extended and looked for scalp to short but tuff chop

GS - Shorted strength, damn

PCYC - Had on radar, missed long and didn't want to chase so missed another +1.50, shorted a little early and took loss but should have taken +.40.  OUCH!

WYNN - Right call but had to leave
