Trades 27/01/14

Lessons:

• YOU'RE SHORT AND YOU SEE THE STOCK BOUNCING OFF A WHOLE NUMBER - COVER!!!
• SOLARS $FSLR $TSL AMONG OTHERS HAVE GOOD RANGE - GOOD TO PLAY WHEN OVERALL MARKET MOMENTUM SHIFTS

Really annoying I turned a $50 profit in $CSIQ to $120 loss by not covering on that bounce off 36;
Traded better rest of the day with $TSL;
Always nice to start the day up $1k on gappers - sure helps picking up the better setups.
Was planning to gap a good number of pot stocks, but I was up a fair bit before the close so I sold most of them into the rush. While I'm trading what's currently hot (pot stocks) I shouldn't lose focus of my goal here, which is to practice and learn to trade big board stocks.
