Trades for 17th October,2012

Trade   1



















 Long HPQ               we tried to go long HPQ
                          
                                 Entry    14.49
                                 Stop     14.45
                                 Then we raised the stop to .49 to b/e when  HPQ started stalling.
                                 We are stoped out to b/e.

Trade 2
























Short ASML             This again was a pick from our watch list.

                                  Entry   51.88
                                  Stop     52.01

                                 Target  1                51.45                   1/2 +.50
                                 Target  2                51.00                   1/4 +.80
                                 We dropped our stop to   51.50         1/4 +.38 stopped out.
                                 Target  3               50.50

                                 Great trade and a very fast trade.
                                But see what it did  after that. It moved up to  52 and then collapsed
                                all the way to 48.73!

                                And if we did,this would've been the only trade we would've taken today.
                                It would've been a record haul!

Trade 3



















Short  CREE        CREE had an amazing run up today .Again was on the long watch list .
                           
                             We couldn't get in because we were in ASML at the time.
                             Pattern was over extended so we shorted CREE .

                              Entry   29.45
                              Stop    29.51

                               Target 1    29.25         we got   1/3  +.23
                               Target 2    29.00         We lowered stop to  29.45 and stopped out to b/e.

                               CREE moved higher and then collapsed to our Target 2. 
                               But we stuck to our strategy and moved on.

                              
Trade 4



















Short   FB               Again form our daily watch list.  We found FB wobbly at the top
                               and  looking for a pull back.

                               Entry   20.15
                               Stop    20.31        

                               Target  1         20.00                 1/2  +.15
                               Target  2         19.75                 1/4  +.40
                               Target  3         19.40                Never hit.
                                We lowered stop to   19.90   and was stopped  1/4 +.25

                              We did very well on FB.


SO  to recap  did we do all the trades right today?  NO. We gave up too much from our biggest
trade   of the day ASML. We would've watched both  CREE and ASML for reentries. Those two along would've done enough  for us. But NO... .no regrets. River will be there when we come back
tomorrow.  

           Overall we had a big day!

  See how we have effectively use  2 ,5 and 15 min charts!.
