parabol128 Trades: Trades 18/11/14

So while I did trade plenty of stocks today, I did exercise *some* patience (with entries) and traded well today. I'd possibly be able to squeeze more from individual stocks if I had more patience and not jump to the next setup, but I'm still learning, so I like to experiment with as many setups until I find my favourites.
Only got caught out on one trade ($SUNE) used too much size when it was way too bullish to short.

Lessons:

Be patient when going long and have the "big picture" view:

as soon as I bought today I was underwater and about to sell for a loss, had to remind myself the big picture and actually respect my stoploss instead of just bailing.

$CANF was too illiquid to trade even if it was setting up nicely, one big seller could ruin it

Longs:

$SNSS great trade, textbook @investorslive weak open r/g

$CANF I bought where I'd normally s/s - figuring this should squeeze more; worked well; Tried again on ABCD, wasnt really liquid enough, when it failed and broke support I sold rest and shorted; Overall was up on the trade.

$BDR 2.15 risk - nice patience here, buying on dips and not getting spooked when "they" pulled support making it look weak; nice hod sells too

Shorts:

$GERN 3.10 risk; couldnt break 3.10 so I added a few; covered when it made nhods; reshorted when it broke support and it became resistance; just burnt commissions on it, had no real range, but didnt want to miss a big flush

$VGGL had a great avg, but not enough confidence after y'days diabolical trading that I took a quick profit; re-shorted later in the day anticipating further bleed at 2.50s; shorted pops covered flushes

$AEMD with .47 risk IB had only 2k shares

$YHOO puts - great covers as this thing spiked $1 rather quickly off lows; Later in the day it looked weak again (especially compared to SPY) so I am swinging some puts
