I've made many bad trades, ok trades, but this was a rare perfect trade with some luck on the exit.

Sold @ .95 limit away from the computer all day for a 300% gain less commissions, must have happened at the open.

 

 

I think tomorrow could see some heavy selling, but I want to see some buying first, I may just stand aside,

I don't have much of a signal other than new highs and the reversal today.

Very nice trade sir! Not many on here post real time trades

Thank you. 

 

Now the hard part, deciding to trade off a weak signal or waiting.

Internals are not there on this new high, I think a short will work but if no selling tomorrow

then time to go to cash.

My plan today is short at resistance with a tight stop.

Possibly one of the most boring trades ever! Dull market to short...closed half on 'downdraft' will let rest ride or get stopped out

No trades today, no signal really. I am trying to get away from trying to force trades that really have

no basis to them especially on the short side. That is a rookie mistake that is hard not to do for most

of us I suspect, and follows from impatience. 

 

I will try to post a trade if I see a good setup, I may have to wait a week.
