Trades 17/04/14


My strategy so far has been much more short biased in nature, primarily as I am more comfortable shorting than going long, however I do need to improve my long skills, as I am missing out on plenty of opportunities.
Today's main focus was $LIVE - shorted it at 5.25 range, thinking consolidation then dump, and i was wrong - covered quick enough, but my position size was large so I was down $1k. I kept watching it and nailed a far superior entry at 6 o/u which I was patient with and covered some when 5.50 was protected on several attempts, then rest when it was going sideways. I did re-short 5.57 for the eod 5.50 which worked out well, almost back to even on that trade.
Just about broke even today
