Just watching and working on the mental side. NT is acting funny by not loading up the past days action. So, the EMA doesn't come out right, but what can i do.


ROVI: showed up on the runner screen. she kept going



ACOR

DV: I would have gotten caught trying to short this a couple times.


KCI: long pause before explosion



MAKO: another one that paused and exploded



MUR: i was thinking an entry somewhere around the 1:30 hammerish doji candle.




PGN: another one i can see myself getting stop in a few times.

Unfortunately, I only had enough time today to see the trades I missed, lol. What occurred to me today is how this is the greatest job in the world. You are working for yourself. No customers, no bosses, no partners, no teammates. Just you and the market. It is the same reason why golf intrigues me. I do not play the game but the idea of being a pro golfer is interesting. It is just you VS. the course. No teammates. No coach. You are calling the shots. I love that.

I was also thinking today, that when you own a store, you are bored waiting around for customers. It is the same thing with trading. I am scrolling through charts all day waiting for the right customer. That is it in a nutshell. If you want more eloquent writing, visit bankrobber, dtf, or tarigal, lol.


SRX: Below the moving average. I don't know if I would have pulled the trigger, but it certainly is pretty. I first noticed it after that beautiful top.




ARMH: This one was interesting. It did not show up on lightspeed's riser faller list. But, it did show up on DTF's new low screener. It is then that I realized that DTF's screen will pick up gap ups that make new lows, where lightspeed's screen only calculates from the prior close it misses a beauty like ARMH.



CPX: beauty






updated screen shot. the charts on the left in gray are actually on a monitor mounted above the middle monitor. so they are located above the main middle screen that shows the charts of the q's,spy,trade alert tickers, etc..

i fired up the old beast of a computer today. from around noon until 1:30 east coast, i checked the charts. i saw nothing i liked. hopefully, i am not becoming to picky.that may be the problem with the 1 trick pony. not everyday will fit my style. some decent charts but nothing ideal.
