Patcubed

Stable? Was there a time we were worried about the chat being unstable? Possibly with the threat of a collapse? I didn't realize engineering a chat room required so much structural work.

Or are we talking about the market being stable...

Thank you. Any day you have the time, we appreciate the picks. Good to see you're going to be getting out and enjoying the world. That's one reason I usually quit after the 10:00 turn around. I like to get my trading done early, and then get out to enjoy life.

[skippy]

Take the stocks posted by "Me" good old skippy... from open to close.
CIEN 23.61-24.84=5.20%
OREX 8.62-8.90=3.24%
VVUS 8.70-8.59= - 1.28%
FO 60.84-61.42= .9%
MGA 57.68-58.32= 1.10%
AMD 7.53-7.68= 1.99%
AXL 14.77-15.05= 1.89%

GAINERS 14.32% LOSERS -1.28% TOTAL +13.04%

Is there anyone out there that doesn't like those results? Can I get a cookie now?

Michael

[traderrick]

Chocolate chip or oatmeal?

It sounds like spending time on the lake involves an ice auger and a shack. Brrrrr!

Wow, Is it possible I could have a oatmeal/choc chip cookie? Yum, Yum... Oh, please over bake them just a little.

Thanks

Swy to turn upward at 20.56... lets hope... in orex 8.89 in kr 21.66

[skippy]

orex 2.36% pretty much b/e on the other two right now. Going to stick with them (High Risk) i look for KR, SWY to break out... but they could break me a new one. Got good trades working with MGA, CIEN... OREX has dipped again currently 8.97 watching it for another entry possible on this dip

[coyote7]

I got into vsea the first min at 46.09 . The second min it dropped to 45.45 so I set my stop at 45.72 during that same min it stopped me out at 45.72 than continued down the next min. This seems to happen a lot to me (getting stopped out early) on what could have been a good run. Any suggestions or help?

You could always set a trailing stop once you reach profit. Set it up with a wide margin of movement to allow for gap swings.

Good point Bread. I'll try to do that in the future. It was a relatively long-winded answer so I didn't want to type it all out. We talked about it for about 5 minutes. I'll make an effort in the future to type the answers out.

[skippy]

I will only post one result today... Don't want to bust the bubble...

OREX in 8.52 out 10.00 17.37% Yawns... 29.8% day

It was due to break out... been tracking it as posted above Just got lucky? skill baby skill LOL
