Batted .500 Today: 2 for 4

August 22nd, 2007

Let’s see, the market gapped up and closed near its highs, 3 of my 4 trades were long, and I was stopped out of two of them.  Go figure.  This was my best day ever in terms of dollars in profit.

I traded BCSI (like everyone else, I’m sure) for 4.5R, AAPL (-1R), BYI (-1R), and TWB (short for 2.3R).  All trades were in before 10:45AM which is a good thing.  August was looking pretty ugly before today.

   well done dave!
   i’ve noticed that you are taking more 10 min setups. Are you getting confortable with faster timeframes?

   Thanks, oonr7. It was a great day.

   @thiago: Yes, I have been taking more 10 min setups. There is a theory behind it which I will share in a future post.

   Thanks for the comments!
