Friday

Wasn’t trading on Friday, with all the merriment, options expiration and exhuastion I actually made it to market open but didn’t see anything I really liked. Top of the watched list were RMBS and BRCD but neither one excited me or presented an irresistable setup so I succumbed to the fatigue and headed to bed. […]

St. Patrick’s Day

Friday (almost Saturday over here) could not have come sooner.. With my current workload the way it is I’ve neglected a few personal things I need to attend to. Some are critical - like converting my driving license to a New Zealand one within the next 3 weeks! I will be making sure I […]

BMRN

Quick day for me here. Got long BMRN on the 4th 15min bar and got stopped out for -1R around 12 or so. SLXA looked interesting as well but all I could see in the news was a Cramer mention so I gave it a miss.

SHLD

SHLD was the top candidate today, as TraderMike mentioned. Aside from SHLD I was also watching PMCS but didn’t like the late morning action so cancelled my order. The market was really choppy most of the session and SHLD didn’t move much most of the afternoon, closed at end of day for slightly over +2R […]

CMVT

This was an odd trade. Couldn’t see any appealing longs on my watchlist and CMVT was HOT. The trade was quite a bad one from a risk/reward perspective as it run massively at the open and the up bar was huge. The final P&L is therefore a small +0.9R, less than 1:1 risk:reward ratio.
HGSI on […]

Cybertrader

I’ve been trialing Cybertrader today and had a few questions that maybe one of the numerous (2?) Cybertrader users out there can help out with..
1. Is it possible to enter One-Cancel-Another order? I typically enter a stop loss order and attach an OCA Market-On-Close order to the same stock.
2. How do I enter a Market […]

TOPT & MDCO

Super busy today, again. Took two trades on the log side. TOPT ended with +2.5R and MDCO with +0.5R for a total of just over 3R profit. Although MDCO wasn’t really a good trade from a risk-reward perspective.
