went after WLT on that nice 15 min doji. after i placed it, i realized the stop was way too far away so i closed it swiftly. thinking now, i could have zoomed into the 5 min to give it a chance. comical because i was telling dtf the same thing today

inverted hammers on the 5/10, doji on the 15, thats signals firing on all cyclinders. looking now, i don't see any signals saying to exit.

comparing my chart to aynul's below 

aynul's

i had set this alert after the doji.

i had saw this crack around 1130, didn't believe it, but i drew some alerts to see what would happen. looks like she cracked back down. that was the problem with todays trading. the chart of the q's i thought was saying long, the tickers were green, and then there were charts like MON and RIMM which were pointing down. all this lead me to be very confused today.

sweet entry, missed exit due to nap

this is where i was thinking the market was a long. looking now, i guess its not the prettiest. i tried going after it into the retrace of the 1045 doji. i got stopped out but went after it again. i knew it was a "level" i had to pay attention to but that i may not time it correctly so i would need to get back after it. glad i napped, s.o.b. just chopped back and forth.

another one i had set alerts on.

well, another decent learning day. i am starting to enjoy the process again. the challenge of finding the correct stocks and letting them work. i love knowing that i found some pretty good movers on the day. it just comes down to timing the correctly, surviving the first wave, and letting them to their thing. we'll see if i can get a good nights sleep in and be ready for tomorrow.

soo-ee, i would take that trade any day of the week. that is just the probabilities working them selves out.
