Trades Recap 09/05/14

Finished up $800 - cut my losers quickly hence none are featured below (as they dont make an interesting story)

Trade Highlights:


$PLUG +$400 - sold a few more puts
$PGFY +$150 - short, although long r/g was the much better play here ...
$MEIL +$120 - Shorted at a good spot, covered 1/3 for $50 but forgot for a moment how I need to be nimble and content with 20c gain, and it spiked on me, from being up $50 realised ($150 unrealised) I had to take it off at nhods for -$200;

 

Reshorted a few minutes later and made it back with change. That should have been the only trade I made, I keep learning the hard way to wait for it to "top out" first, or at least make a top and retrace so I have a better set r/r

 

so much easier later in the day - 

$RDNT +$30 - Traded it a couple of times, mainly short, one trade I'd elaborate on - finally made a decent nasdaq long trade:
bought on a dip at 6.44
added to a winner on 6.50 cross, sold half at 6.59, rest at 6.53
finally not only focused on the short side of the trade

$DRL +$30 - A few trades here too, at least i didnt lose money on it ...
The one decent trade was a short on 3.50 o/u after it made a lower high and covered 3.30s 3.20s
$ZU +$250 - took some puts for the unlock next week, sold most and kept some in case it acts like TWTR (difference is ZU is already at lows, however with unlock could/should go lower ...)
