10/22/2017 1:08:26 PM Rough few days...not because of losing trades but because I was "afraid" of losing trades...that led me to exit on positions that ended up running more! Caught the "over thinking" and "over trading" symptoms! The arbitrary exits of % profits is obviously making it mentally challenging for me after I see my picks go on a tear after I exit (YINN and INDL to name a few). I am happy with my entries; my exits needs fixing (and so does my battle with my mindset!).  maybe ema(8) is a start  Now, I sit and wait patiently. |

10/25/2017 11:24:09 PM I was just talking about using ema(8) as an exit; this would have been an "exit"...yet, I "entered". What was I thinking? Simply, I saw it dump by almost $10 and it managed to claw itself back up. Made me wonder...so I jumped in. $96 mental stop; weekly RSI is turning down...it already did that the day before. If it breaks $108, I will consider adding. |

10/28/2017 1:05:06 PM Added another tranche as it broke $108. Will use EOD price of $110.66 to track. ACB of $107.51  How will I end up trading this....will add another tranche when it breaks $114 Don't know how to post a stockchart screen shot...this baby seems to like hugging the upper BB on the weekly charts. AMZN and GOOG went nuts on friday. No signs of an October dump....or ??? |

10/28/2017 3:34:13 PM it's hard to believe but the major institutional call volume is on QQQ, FB, AMZN etc. sure seems like we are going even higher. |

10/28/2017 8:59:47 PM thanks for dropping by PT! yeah...guess this October taught me that not all Octobers will be the same. I just have to trade the signals and maybe scale in on dips given that it appears that there doesn't seem to be a real fundamental trigger that could roil this run (ala financial crisis). Testing things out...bought CWEB at $47.69 using EOD prices.  |

11/13/2017 9:36:36 AM SMH...trying not to catch the overtrading disease, I sat when I could have sold $7 higher and re-loaded around here. Now, I wait patiently to add more.... Selling CWEB $52. |

11/21/2017 2:37:34 PM ACB of $106.25. To add or not to add. Looks like a triple top breakout. Greed says...add the last 1/5 tranche. |
