[ESrat]

exit long @ 1379.75 :clap:

 

[wackypete2]

what happened to your target?

Peter

 

[wackypete2]

So 7 hours after your target is hit you decide you exited at better than 2 points higher, which is only 3 ticks from the high of the day?

If you were the one watching someone else do this what credibility would you give them?

I place a stop order but not a sell order at my target. My targets are just a rough level that I'd like to get. Exited this morning when price blew right threw ..

Does that clear things up for you?

Just bought 1381 Stop set 1376.50 target ~1387

 

[ESrat]

Target revised to 1384.50

APPL is going green from here, imo. A rising tide raises all ship.

[ESrat]

the sellof in AAPL has crapped out

 

[ESrat]

definitely holding this over weekend..

no stop in place, don't think i'll need one

 

[ESrat]

Huh. Now I need to decide to do one of 3 things

1) exit here, take my loss
2) hold, exit higher
3) avg down, buy another contract try to get out even or +

Have to mull this one over a bit.

I've decided to avg down buying another contract for a total of two. haven't bought it yet must decide the best price to achieve my goals here.Hopeful to buy just as prices are rising :innocent:

Lots of resistance above however a break above 1363 might be bullish. I may wait for 1363 or 1364 before adding a contract on a dip. Nice gap to close all way up to the 70's from there. Sounds like a plan? :|

 

[ESrat]

Adding another contract 1354.50. Stop 1353 Target 1358

Decided on a 4th alternative, I'll trade around the other contract.

New stop 1354.50. Must play it tight to vest from here on.

Stopped out break even on that one contract but reentered 1356. Stop 1353
