Breaking trading rules

Today I decided not to trade because. the market promised to be dead. OPG: Ritsy did not sell because the market was trading in positive territory. Just watched them, surprisingly they went down from the opening. I did everything in the afternoon 1 deal. Sold GIS about 46.50, but below the stock almost did not go through and turned around. Flat closed and waited for MOS. The market was dead and there was nothing to catch. MOS: The futures were flat, imbelances came out weak. I have a rule not to trade weak MOS, but 2 days of the previous day they were size and why wouldn't they be good today. I loaded myself into finance a lot and sold while it fell until the close, this time the orders were finally triggered and I covered positions at the closing price. But they closed very badly, that I lost as much as I earned for 2 previous days. It's been a long time since I lost so much. Results: You can't break your trading rules, it is very expensive. Считай 3 of the day I traded in flat. It's unpleasant of course, but I will not repeat this mistake again. “Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.” Trade date : 19 Martha 2009

Foms day

I did not foresee the main movements for today, before announcement to change or not % rate, as expected, it was left unchanged and the market skyrocketed =) My yesterday's overnight was never covered by the arch, tried to get out, but did not take. Futures traded in the red before the opening and it was necessary to quickly get out of the stock. Sent a sell order to OPG and some more on top. SLG opened at 50C below my purchase, well since I have left with mos a lot, then I got a good minus =( OPG: I decided to sell Ritsa because yesterday they closed in high, and today futures were trading in the red, there was a high probability that they will go lower. I sold a small basket from 8 shares and almost recaptured losses on SLG. NIGHT: Sold on the move, but did not go lower. KFT: Selling after breaking through, almost nothing went. It was to be expected, the action had no potential. Stupid trade. GR: Selling catching up with a share, overlooked the beginning of the movement, count sold to the bottom. Later bought a little higher 36 and closed about 36.45. AIG: Again he climbed into her very ears when she flew away. Several days already buying. I'm still waiting for it to be chilled and opened a dollar higher. Did 20% стоимости акции МОС: После фомса …

Dear emotions ...

Today promised to be rotten, tomorrow the MHIF, which means you should not expect good movements. MT: Selling on the break of today's low, on the daily chart, he had a place to fall and the beginning of the trend loomed. Everything would be fine, but here 16.50 the action did not pass, at this moment a large green candle appeared on the futures and I did a stupid thing not to cover myself because most of the stock is about 10:00 across the US either turn around or move on, I chose the optimistic option, but he didn't pass. HUM: Sold on breaking yesterday's low, this time I decided to take my 50C, came out on a pre-set limit order , although stupid because it could go lower. HCP: I bought it on the break of today's high, but in vain. It was not necessary to enter after such candles up, the likelihood of a rollback was enormous. It was necessary to wait a little while to gain a foothold at this level.. HES: Sold it by 60.98 with risk in 4 cent, hoped for a rollback in 50C , but the market flew further and my share went with it. Ordinary I don't do this kind of thing, but the risk was minimal. OXY: Promotion of the day, lost on it ¾ earned in a day, in the beginning I bought it about 55 and I got knocked out, and then sold in the same place. Это самый дебильный трейд который у меня был за долгое …

It's time to switch to the bullish side ;)

Market under the rule of the Bulls , stocks fly up without shorting, I think in the near future my trading results will fall to a flat or small profit, whole year 95% my trades were short and I forgot how to buy stocks , it takes a little time, to remember how to incubate longs. AIG: The action flew away to 40% from the opening and I bought it, the hope was that it would be drowned out and opened by 2-3$ because I did not know the news of the rapid rise, I decided not to miss the opportunity to earn money and bought more, risks were minimal, but my hopes did not come true. Came out covering only the commission. MET: Unsuccessfully bought on the shadows and walked out in the footsteps, constipation normal trade, I had to re-enter the action. It's hard while being adaptable to Longs. MRK: Selling on the break of today's low, but the action did not go unfortunately. WALL: In the beginning I bought it after breaking through the high, gave 30C, but the action did not go further, after waiting a bit, I made a short cut, thinking that she will not go higher, but also bad luck, again gave 30C , but did not go lower. TEG: I bought it on breaking through the high, put a stop and went to lunch. When I returned I saw that they gave me 25C, but I went out on foot. ZMH: Nice entrance, went great, but I'm gone …

Growing up again

OPG decided not to trade, nafig them anyway, I don't know how to do them normally, more risk, less use. So for the first hour I sat and watched the market. TJX: I bought it after breaking through yesterday's high, with a small foot. The stock tried to rise, passing 20 cents began to short her and I followed the footsteps. TO: I bought it after breaking through today's high. The promotion went a little longer 20 cents in my direction, but the ridiculous squeeze touched my stop, offensive. There was good potential for growth, about 1.5$ up to resistance. I would do 1$ , but it didn't work out. It was dangerous to re-enter. DB: Bought to break through today's howy. Very fast promotion and a little unpredictable, so I didn't buy more. The most interesting thing was to put a stop just below 32.50 and as you can see in the chart I should have been knocked out on the foot, BUT the stop was on the NYSE and the low of the candle was 32.53, and on the arch 32.44 like. And I miraculously did not fly out of position., then it took off as expected.. Hi green candle where I was covered was 33.27, and I went out on 33.20 =) With this trade I beat off yesterday's minus that remained with me and still earned on top, I didn't trade again that day. There was no desire for some reason ... SOS: …
