I see you trade both NYSE and NASDAQ stocks. Are breakouts work equally well in both markets? Or are there any differences? Some say that NYSE is more trending, but this could be an effect of the delayed order execution, which means bad fills and a trending chart.

Today the following Nasdaq stocks did well with this strategy:
GOLD, DECK (but you have to be quick), DGIT, SGEN, EXPD, APOL, SWKS, CAVM, INTU (in afternoon), NTAP, PANL, ROST, AMGN, INFY, APKT, INFA, BMRN, CHRW, KLAC, GPOR, ACOM (if you are real quick), TIBX, FSLR

Lots of opportunity this week.

I wouldn't be able to tell. I'm spread betting with IGIndex and all the stocks are quoted on one system, so I don't think they have a distinction between the different exchanges.

Good trading over the last few days

Gonna call it a day. A string of losses in the morning, but get some of it back in the afternoon. Most of it by Garmin ;-).

Daysummary follows (but can take a while to make screenshots).

Difficult morning session, but a good day to trade the afternoon session.

I should have noted that the markets were consolidating in the morning and breakouts are then less likely to workout.

Learned much today!

Going to take a nap .
