Trades for 23rd October,2012

Trade  1



















 Short WDC                 From our watch list.

                                     WDC gaped down on earnings news .
                                    
                                    It gaped down to a critical area.So waited for WDC to  retrace
                                    to a point where we could initiate a short sale.We  shorted WDC at the bottom
                                    of first red candle on a 5 min chart meeting our parameters.

                                    Entry           32.99
                                    Stop            33.22
                                   
                                   WDC moved in our direction  only to reverse course and move higher.

                                   We  were stopped out   for a loss of  -.23
                                
                                    Good news: We knew the max .lose of the trade BEFORE we entered the trade.

                                    Lesson:   Despite all preparation ,ANY THING CAN HAPPEN.
                                                   You have to be prepared to be stopped out.

                                    MNST hit 40.06 and bounced back  .So we covered  more for +1.90
                                    Finally stopped out  for another       +1.40

                                   risk/Return  was huge here   .10/ 1.90         = 1900%

                                  It is always good to keep an eye on something that has made money
                                  for you already. They can come in doubles.
