Why look for the perfect set up...80% of stocks follow the market. Why should I make it so hard!?

Your entry was solid but looking at the chart I did see some warning signs that the trade would not run quickly. After your entry, price quickly dropped and bounced off of S2. That is a warning sign for me and I would've flipped to a :05 chart to get some more detail. If you look at the :05, you'll see a lot of consolidation after your entry (another sign things might not go well). Then there's the definitive 'up' candle at 11am (:05). I would have revised my stop to .02 above this candle and sold either 1/2 or 3/4 of my position considering the trade was not going my way and support was nearby. I'm trying to get out of losing trades and stay in winning ones. If you were only sticking to the :10, I would've revised my stop to a break of the 11am high. As for PBCT... I don't see the setup you're talking about. The 10:30 bar high on the :10 and :15 chart was never broken. If you did manage to get in it seems like you would've been stopped out before 3pm. Let me know if I'm looking at it incorrectly.<br /><br />tyler: I actually sold 1/2 my shares, or remaining shares, each time. I usually sell only 1/4, but I was down on the day and wanted to lock in profit and wipe out the loss.OONR7https://www.blogger.com/profile/17622886234639917711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325562478910773152.post-27203306536360440022009-05-11T20:07:00.000-04:002009-05-11T20:07:00.000-04:0000NR7,

It then proceeded to fall a buck from my entry. I am thinking I should only stop out if a 10 min bar closes above or below my stop. What do you think? I also went long PBCT on the 10:30 bar as it looked like the ma gonna give it a nice push. Stopped out of that one at 3pm on the support break. I would appreciate your opinion on these trades. Keep up the good work.<br /><br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325562478910773152.post-11547726744197955452009-05-11T17:35:00.000-04:002009-05-11T17:35:00.000-04:00ta: I was fortunate with DISH and my main purpose ...ta: I was fortunate with DISH and my main purpose for entering was to make my money back. It turned out well. I had a very small watchlist as a lot of stocks seemed to want to fade their gap.
