Trade of the day, AH!!!

So went long 1000 shares of AH at 8.95, after I couldn't find an entry signal when trying to catch the bottom 15 minutes after it opened. I finally did decide to try and take the temporary break-out around 9 dollars a share. Right after I got in, I could have sold it 5 minutes later and just taken a $500 profit when it jumped quickly to 9.50 in less than 5 minutes, but got greedy instead and waited about 2 minutes before the market closed and sold it at 9.58 for a .63 point gain.

Trade of the day, UVXY!!!

WOW! I can't believe I sold UVXY during the middle of the day, and left over $2000 on the table. Damn you Italy! Anyways, if you have been keeping up with my blog posts (on UVXY), you should know that I've been playing ever gap down on UVXY at the open for the past month, trying to catch that dead cat bounce. Went long again a 1000 shares today and got filled this morning at 9.25. After it hit a strong resistance level around 10.50 around noon, I sold it at 10.398 for a 1.148 point gain. I've noticed recently late in the day, UVXY tends to retrace back down after a nice bounce, so that's why I decided to take my profits and sell it around noon. As you can see though, it was the wrong decision, and I ended up leaving a pile of money on the table. Siiiiiiiiigh!

Trade of the day, MMSI!!!

Took a huge gamble today on MMSI when I placed my stop at 9.97, after going long 1000 shares at 10.50. It had a very strong support level around the low 10's. It formed a nice candlestick hammer bar about 10 minutes into its' trading and bounced off that key support level, so I knew it had a great probability of retracing back up today. Sold it at 11.49 about 15 minutes before the close, for a .99 point gain. Have a great weekend!

Trade of the day, NTGR!!!

Another day (see yesterday's blog post) giving away my profits on one good trade, to other bad trades. Anyways, went long 400 shares of NTGR at 32.25, and placed my stop at 31.97. Sold it at 34.15 after my initial profit target of 34 was clearly reach. A nice 1.90 point gain.

Also to all my followers, I'am done trading for the week and taking a long extended President's Day weekend.

Trade of the day, NOG!!!

Caught some of the fear selling and bought NOG after the candlestick hammer formed on the 5-minute chart.  Went long 500 shares at 14.61 hoping for some short covering after the huge gap down. I wish I would've bought more shares, but all my capital were tied up with other stocks I was long this morning in. Anyways, ended up selling NOG about 30 minutes before the close at 15.37 for a  .76 point gain. The day didn't really go all that well with me because I had 3 losers which canceled-out all my profits I had got with NOG.

Trade of the day, CLSN!!!

So tried to catch some of the dead cat bounce action today on CLSN, but got stopped-out after I moved my stop to break-even. It felt like the market makers saw my stop, and decided they were going to take me out because the stock ended up rallying nicely after I got hit. Anyways, went long 3000 shares at 1.40 and got stopped-out at 1.40 for break-even.

Trade of the day, AKAM!!!

Made only one round trip trade today with AKAM, and came out with a small profit. Went long 300 shares at 33.90, and placed stop at 33.49 hoping for at least a small bounce. It then started to consolidate for a bit, and I just tired of holding it, so decided to sell at 34.95 for a 1.05 point gain.
