20/04/2015

all indexes green for go today. Started out strong and just keep quietly running to the upside

Stuck to the plan today with small size and following two of SSpencers picks as well.

PL + $35.56
Very happy with this, its hard using small share size as transaction fees chop into but all the trades worked and still made profit overall on each one


Charts

RCL, traded long and followed SSpencer. It gapped down a lot and I would not trade this but the plan is to man up to it and learn something new so I did that. Spread was wide and random with 30 - 50 cents and small bunches of orders at each end fighting it out.
I settled on the second red bar along the bottom range and started to form up bids and offers behaving and then moved up nicely to resistance. I exited it there had also added when it started to move off the bottom and settle


LVS, no real reason for this move up, earnings due later in the week and it moved up to the bottom of a gap on the daily where it had failed before. I entered and just waited, closed out at VWAP and then entered again later on. The second trade made a tiny profit and was slightly negative after fees but happy with well managed trades.
this trade is a direct result of following Steve and looking for weakness at the of a range if there is no driver and clear levels


HAL, I dont like this stock as it does whatever it wants but again copied Steve.
 First short I missed the top as it moved fast so entered to low, took a tiny profit negated by fees but a good trade.

Second trade was at a higher level and after a failure to make the past day high.This broke even as as trade and was down the amount of the fees

Third trade later in the day there was a determined seller refreshing offers of around 3 -4 k and keeping the pressure on. Each time it skipped up 1 - 2 cents they would appear again and hold the up-move. Entered at market and got a fill at 1cent at the offer so happy with that and cut the trade on selling pressure drying up and bids increasing and holding

Really good trade
