8/4/2015

All futures strong in after hours and opened positive
Overall a strong day and solid close


Bad today

Did not hold and cost a very good trade
Moved up a stop after a part exit of position and then stopped out at that exact price

Good today

Stock selection good
Entries good with limits and no chasing
Now four positive days, will look at doubling position sizes next week if this hold ups for one more day

Trades

The one that got away
Entered MYL on limit after it stalled a little at a higher range.
I sold half on some testing of the range high on the 1 minute chart and that was ok but then on the next test sold the rest.
The stock was acting fine and overall the market was strong so there was no reason to sell but I did and missed a strong move up






AAPL

Strong stock on a solid day. Entered on washout and this was supported by the same action on the SPY, IWM and QQQ.

Good entry and took of half at the 0.50 level.
I moved stop up and then proceeded to get stopped out at the cent. Again broke a rule and should have left it in place and taken the risk.




HCN

Looking for a retrenchment to the open range low but never got there. The stock was not that weak and the market too strong. Moved stop down and very small loss. Happy with this trade as it went to plan and was well managed
