Lessons:
NO AM SHORTS
NO MORE WASHOUTS UNLESS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT
ONLY GRINDERS AT THE OPEN; FADERS IN THE AFTERNOON. 
GETTING BETTER AT GRINDERS SO RISK A LITTLE BIT MORE
CLEARLY SHOULD I AVOID WASHOUTS AND AM SHORTS I'D BE BETTER OFF...

Trades 27/11/13

WASHOUTS ARE PROVING  DIFFICULT ... GRINDERS I'M GETTING THE HANG OF
BEST AVOID SHORTING AT THE OPEN ...
FOCUS ON GRINDERS AND SHORT FADERS IN THE AFTERNOON


Gappers: 2/5 (down)

$NPWZ down big
$NTEK ok
$IACH ok
$MOBS down
$PAYD down



Grinders: 3/4 (up)

$ELTK looked ABCD - risking 10c to make 40; sold half for 20c, half for b/e -> need to get take bigger sizes and take 20c 
$OXBT 6.03 6 risk 6.40 target out half 6.19 half 6.29 beautiful
$DRYS not a perfect setup but minimal risk in 3.28 risk 3.25 target 3.34 flat
$ATRM 8.85 with 8.60 risk 9+ target 9.40 -> lacked the liquidity, but stuck to my stop (as in was patient enough and was rewarded in a 50c move. YAY!)
$ELTK anticipating a short squeeze in 3.30 risk 3.25 target 3.40 no good small loss

Faders: 4/4 (up)

$DRTX 12.30 with 12.40 risk 12 target - has been up a fair bit, but not the best set up -> perfect! covered 12, 1190 and 1180

$ELTK yet again on afternoon fade 3.20 hoping to cover low 3s - covered 3.08

Shorts: 2/3 (up)

$TLYS again on trend 11.80 with 11.75 risk 12.10 target sold most 12
$BRLI looked trending 30.60, 30.50 risk, 31, 32 target -> stopped out no good
$ECTE on 4 break - went big too as risk was limited (10c) and target was 50c - took quick profits at 4.10, 4.20 -> great trade key here is I took a larger position as the r/r was good

Trades 26/11/13

DONT SHORT ON MORNING STRENGTH. NOT YET AT LEAST.  FOCUS ON LATE DAY FADERS.

DONT SHORT LOW VOL FADERS THEY TEND TO SPIKE OUT OF NOWHERE

FADERS WORK BETTER IN THE AFTERNOON

NO MORE WASHOUT SHORTS - BAD R/R AND THEY TOO TEND TO BE SPIKEY

GOT TO TAKE QUICK PROFITS - WAS UP $100 ON $ELTK, SHOULD HAVE TAKEN IT INSTEAD OF HOLDING FOR MORE

LOOK FOR GRINDERS IN THE FIRST HOUR - TO MAKE NEW HIGHS
FADERS IN THE AFTERNOON

Faders: 2/7 (down)

$BONT started strong, peaked at 17.75 shorted some 17.64 with a move to 17 target; not going in heavy as it's dried out and could spike easily; ... and that's exactly what happened; damage not too bad tried 4 times TOO EARLY AND ILLIQUID
$MBIS so very quickly for 10c; up 100% on the day down 50c from top but still was fading nicely so took the trade

 This is not a fade:

Trades 22/11/13

$TFM spiked on me

Trades 21/11/13

Overall had my best trading day so far - took only one unnecessary trade. Cut my losers short quickly. And was patient at least with some of the profitable trades

Do not do washout shorts the final hour

Gappers: 1/3 (Up)

Trades 20/11/13

NO MORE RANDOM OTC LONGS

Focus on one-two good bouncers a day ($CHLN types)

Gappers: 3/4

$HPTO b/e

$AMRN - with 2 break coming and hod at 2.20 bullsih chart - i screwed up though as it had the weak open i was hoping for ; miserable, silly trade stopped out - should have taken the morning weakness and not paid high 1.90s

$DWCH good
$LITB bad 
$LITB good

$CCIH bad

Overall down on washouts

Trades 18/11/13

Banked on gappers, most ran another 20-50% after I sold, however I ALWAYS SELL GAPPERS AT THE OPEN.
Did well shorting stocks that were up big either previous or same day, but not g/r rather on weakness. 
Washouts didn't quite nail them.

Gappers: 5/7

$LBIO $PGLO $NVIV $SGLB $ABAT worked well
$CSTI missed a bit move
$SOPW moved after I sold

Grinders: 0/1

$SNTA seemed like a reasonable set-up, sold for tiny loss

Shorts: 3/3

$NSYS - well timed - shorted 8.50 crack, covered 8.05
$BSPM - from 2.72 to 2.62

Washouts: 1/5

$REGI tried 3 times both long and short and failed
$FU just red candled me out
$RSOL looked like it was basing 

Trades 15/11/13

Washouts: 4/9


$CREG didnt work - too many eyes on it with Nate tweeting about it.
$PME In too early, it made new lows so I was out. Not really liquid enough either.
$SANW had one green candle so jumped in after with 5 risk, sold half 5.29 got bored and sold rest 
$GSE almost perfect, bought 2.55 with 2.50 risk 2.70 target and sold for 2.70
$TTS should have left it alone - too volatile

Trades 14/11/13

Was only around the first two hours.
$CAAS long was pretty good, chased and with big size but it looked like it would carry the momentum.

Other than that it was all bounces plays - overall 4 out of 9 worked ... $MGAM $MM examples of when the pattern works well.

Washouts: 4/9

Pharma's dont bounce!

$TTI was too volatile.
$EPZM good
$MM traded twice 1/2
$CSCO from pre - best avoid them in pre
$MGAM risked too much the first time around and not enough second time ...
$EGLE fucked up

$FMI nice move

Trades 13/11/13

Lessons:

ALWAYS SELL GAPPERS AT THE OPEN!!!

Gappers: 2/3

All completely demolished after the open - another reminder to not question it and always sell at the open. These gappers usually have been on a tear so downside is massive

Washouts: 8/11

$CLNT in 5.77 out 5.88 6.02 6.11 nice trend
$CWCO looked like it was basing 13.20, risking 20c to make 30c+. Good job I got out at 13 as it quickly dropped to 12
$CDXS bought 1.45 which was a bit much with 1.35 risk. Sold 1.48 as it did retest 1.35s
$YRCW from premarket - nice move
$MTL very nice too, called the bottom beautifully. Shortly after the open.
$OXGN good for 5c
$ALTI caught a quick 25c move, it bounced another 50c from there
$CHGG respected the trend, was good for 10c
$CWCO second time around it worked better with 12.29 entry, 12.20 risk and got out for 12.40s
$PERY b/e

Short Washouts: 1/2

$BAGL 16.10 with 16.20 risk for a break under 16 - didnt pan out
$PERY 15.10 with 15.20 risk for break under 15 - covered for 7c

Worth looking into this strategy

R/G Shorts: 0/3

Not doing this anymore

Trades 12/11/13

Good day of trading, very few unnecessary or big trades

Lessons:

Washout plays - 

• Have sell orders ready in case there's a quick spike 
• Good for a quick bounce, they mostly drift lower
• Entry around 10 is best
• Higher priced ones work better

Gappers: 3/4

Washouts: 8/11

$QUIK was down 15% in pre, took some 2.90s sold for 10c; it closed hod 3.15
$PTX got in 10 min from open 1.80 with 1.70 lod being risk, got out fo 2, it hit 2.30
$BIOL 5 min from open dropped hard out the gate then bounced, 1.55 when it made nlod I got out
$BIOL was basing around 1.50 at 10:30 rode it to 1.60; closed 1.50
$SRPT bought 9:50 15.45 with 15.20 risk 16 target, sold 15.78 and 15.94 with 10 minutes; it closed much lower
$AMED bought 10-10:30 at 14.25 with 14 risk 15 target. Sized in when it was basing around 14.25, sold 14.50, 14.75 within the next 30 minutes; it drifted lower after
$DM 9:50 1.25-9 then out 1.20 when it made new low
$DM 11 1.05 it looked like it was basing, didnt take 1.10 exit, instead got out flat
$LMIA 10:30 in at 12.03 out 12.24 and 12.48 within 15 minutes; it then drifted lower
$HOLX 10 19.36 with 19.30 risk (nlod) got out minutes later at 19.60s it never made a new low
$YRCW shitty setup

R/G Shorts: 0/2

$OESX didn't pull the trigger - would have made up for the next two

$ONE nothing much, shitty range
$OME dodged a bullet there, it closed pretty strong

Trades 11/11/13

A pretty poor day of trading, nothing really worked very well.
Going to concentrate on gappers and g/r shorts the next few sessions again.
With only the best late day fader setups additionally.

Lessons:
With Washouts, only go for liquid stocks and play them small to begin with


Gappers: 2/2

$NVGC $SEFS for peanuts

Washouts: 3/6

$RDNT was too illiquid
$BTN too illiquid
$ZLCS played too big
$CRUS was making higher highs - trade worked well
$EGHT same
$IMUC not perfect setup but worked ok

Faders: 0/1

$VISN just spiked out of nowhere, luckily I covered quickly

AM Parabolic Shorts: 0/1

$NWBO shorted second top on strength again, silly trade

Grinders: 0/2

$YRCW thought it was ABCDing but stopped out
$BORN same

R/G Shorts: 2/3

$ENG good

$CADX good
$MERC fail - spread was too wide

Trades 08/11/13

Gappers: 1/3

This OTC halt had cost me dearly
$GACR $EAPH big losses
$GLSO ok

AM Weak Open: 1/1:

$GERN well executed from the pre's, took profits quickly which proved wise 

AM Parabolic Shorts: 0/1

$NURO fail
Might give up on this one, too risky

Grinders: 0/4

$IO wasn't really ABCD
$GERN had good r/r but it didnt work out
$GERN this was a nice setup but a bid red candle pooped all over it
$ARAY 

Shorts: 1/2

$OCZ tiny on parabolic worked out ok

$OCZ again on a pop - covered for a loss it then went g/r

Trades 07/11/13

Lessons - 

• No more trades out the gate, wait for at least 30/60 unless there's a perfect parabolic short setup
• That means no shorts on g/r out the gate!
• Stocks move fast - take quick profits, half off when you're right, ride rest
• Focus more on faders, seem to be good at those
• With grinders I tend to do better later in the day

Gappers: 

This OTC halt had cost me dearly, will only find out the damage tomorrow. Couldn't make any trades with IB. I guess that's a rare occurrence but still pretty painful.

Faders: 3/4

$GERN traded successfully a few times. Was making lower highs and next to a round number, then again when it was teseting the day's support at 5.50

$OSUR Once it fell under support at 6.30 it made for a decent trade
$ONE Great fader, missed better covers as I wasn't watching it closely
$WSTL Didnt work out, but r/r was there and was only down 5c

Longs from Watchlist: 1/2:

$VELT Just horrible, no excuse knew trade was going against me yet kept adding. Saw a wall of sellers and came up with stories justifying why I'm staying in the trade
$ONVO Actually panned out ok, it then dropped massively 

AM Parabolic Shorts: 0/1

$NURO fail
Might give up on this one, too risky

Grinders: 2/4

$AGEN $NURO Too early in the day
$OME Grinder combined with a new 52s in sight, perfectly executed
$MACK Nicely done with 2.50 magent entry at 2.40 sold 2.49, 2.59

Shorts: 0/3

$BEAT g/r out the gate - loser

$KERX same 

$LPSN Stupidly mistook a chart making higher highs and about to break hod for a double top that demands a short

Trades 06/11/13

Lessons - 

• Keep size small 100 lots, no more!
• Wait for perfect setups, there's a reason why you have a watchlist, dont just buy the idea at the open ($MDCI, $NTR)
• Don't let others influence your decision making (re $NWTR)
• Subbies are good for just one gap
• Know the difference between consolidation and grinding

Gappers: 1/4 -$180

$NWTR stupidly feared it being ETB and sold for a loss out the gate, it then went up 20%
$ACDU disaster, not gapping twice
$TPCS ok, went up further
$ITEN b/e didn't do much

Late Day Shorts: 2/3

$BEAT Done it nicely, it dropped further from there

$SUNE Didn't work out as well, it wasn't really making lower lows
$ECYT was ok

Longs from Watchlist 1/4:

$MDCI $NTR $CYNI - just bought these at the open instead of waiting for the setup to present itself. Better miss the trade than trade poorly
$VELT This one I did chase, but it had a huge gap to fill

AM Parabolic Shorts: 1/1

$SYNC worked 
$GTAT worked 10.50 to 10.06 - it then opened higher
$CYTX under $

Grinders: 0/2

Failed: $GSIG $BORN $ECYT
Successful: $NQ $OXGN

Shorts:3/5

$KERX wasnt a good setup

$GTI was ok

$TA as well

$OXGN read the intraday moves rather well, although it was going much higher

$FU didnt work, but I cut losses quickly

Trades 05/11/13

Lessons - keep size small on the g/r shorts
Start risking more on the better setups ($RBCN, $IPI)
AM parabolic shorts seem to work better than longs, getting out before the open is key. 
Grinders aren't my thing

Gappers: 4/5 $220

$ACDU triple zero for $145, thing doubled, and I re-gapped
$SIAF $12, it didnt do much after
$SEEK $6, went up 25%, closed down 20%
$PHOT $54 sold at hod
$REAC -$12

Shorts: 2/3

$RBCN -Perfect idea on the late day fader - shorted on anticipation that $11 would give with 10.75 first target. Covered sooner. It closed 9.90

$TTMI - another late day fader that worked out well, closed much lower too

$GTI - dumbest trade of the day, went far too big on g/r

$PVA - covered quickly for b/e it quickly dropped after

Longs:

$IPI - idea from watchlist, called it to a T should have risked more

Grinders: 0/2

$CERE, $DLIA

AM Panic Longs: 0/1

$OWW - didnt work, and it opened lower and kept dropping


AM Parabolic Shorts: 3/3

$KERX worked 
$GTAT worked 10.50 to 10.06 - it then opened higher
$CYTX under $

Trades 04/11/13

Gappers: 2/2 $195

$PGLO for a cent ($21), $ECAU for 2c ($61) both ran another 25%
$FLPC I was going to gap for tomorrow but sold at hod instead $72. $HPTG $41.

Shorts: 4/4

$IDIX - Shorted 4.60 g/r covered 4.47 and 4.34 for $100. $IDIX was up $1.50 the day prior.

$ECAU .55 to .51. $AFYG .15 to .12.

$GRPN from IL w/l exactly as played 10.50 to 10.40

Grinders: 0/5

Major failboat, none worked.

Trades 01/11/13

Was trying out a few new strategies today. Managed to keep position sizes small.

Gappers: 3/5
Losers cost me commissions only

$RBCC - Had I waited a bit longer would have made some more 

$SPDL - Wasn't very liquid at the open. Didn't gap. Sold into the first uptick

 $IEVM - No follow thru so sold for commissions 

$NWTR - Again five minutes of patience would have paid off 

 $IALS - Sold out the gate for commissions 

Pre-Gappers Shorts: 5/6
Took really small positions trying this out, it worked 5 out of 6 times.
Need to focus on just 2-3 plays max, and look for the best setups (insanely up yet tight spread, with a clear r/r)

 $ARIA - Gapped up 15c sold 2.32 covered at the open at 2.32. Worth noting it went much higher after

$DRAD - Shorted just under $4 with over $4 being risk - covered at 4.03

$FRO - Another big gap - sold 2.33 bought 2.30 at the open. This one went lower after

$OXBT - Sold 3.17 bought 3.08, went straight up afterwards

$IALS - Sold 5.89 bought 5.81 and it faded from there

$PVA - Sold 8.9 bought 8.86, kept going lower

Grinders/Perkers: 2/4

$IDIX - This was the only perfect setup, and I bailed too soon. Took low 4.40s on the perk, near a .50 mark, risking 4.30 for 4.60s. Sold 4.49 all instead of riding other half. 

$FU - Not a bad setup around 6.5 but perhaps lacked the volume. r/r here wasnt great either

$IRIX - Sold for a small loss

$TXMD - Well had the right idea ... grinding near a r/g had I used 4.10 as risk would have been successful. Also entry at 4.18 wasn't perfect

Shorts:

$NYNY - Blew it big time - the uptick scared me, should have revisited it at least 

$ITMN - Sold 14.5 (as I had on the w/l!!!) bought .41, .36

Promos:

$AFYG - Was going to gap it, had to take profits instead
