AKAM hurt me today badly (2 times).

If anyone has suggestions if I could see that the breakout wouldn't work, then I'm all ears!





Timing of AMLN entry was almost perfect


Note that these trades were on a realtime simulator and only with market orders. Just learning the ropes here.

Very difficult Friday afternoon.

Did some scalping on GMCR + 0.89 ct / share in the last hour of the week, but this wasn't a range breakout.

Have a nice weekend!
