Hi. I will be posting here my trades and a few charts.

All of my orders are placed before market opening. I don't follow the market intraday.

I will try to post 20-30 minutes before market opening. Cheers
See you tomorrow.
 
new trades:
NCR long: buy stop 19.16, stop loss 18.93
AKAM short: sell limit 37.77, stop loss 38.48

LONG NCR:

underperforming lately, but
it's a just a consolidation after
the big january and february
high volume moves.

it's trying to break out from
a tight resitence area,
buying above yesterdays high.


SHORT AKAM

shorting limit on a pullback,
expecting techs to open up today.

relative weakness for AKAM,
unable to close at the high of the day
after the gap down,
lots of downside space in stochastics

medium term relative weakness
vs other semiconductors

average and long term support.
it bounced back a little lately and it's
on a key level.
shorting below yesterdays low.


SHORT LDK

a tight range for the last few days
gives us a good risk-reward
entry point.
upside channel broken, stochastic is bearish
heading to 10.50$ major support

moving average)

shorting market, STOP above

new trades:
AG long: buy market, 75 cents trailing stop
PCLN long: buy market, 15 dollars trailling stop
TDC long: buy stop 51.44, stop loss 50.84

AG LONG

doji (and inside day) on the 20
day moving average aftera an ABC
correction, AG is ready to resume
the uptrend, it's probably
gapping up, buying with trailing stop

despite the red volume, AG
showed again relative strenght
vs t he other silver stocks in the last
3 days

hold well support on the intraday chart,
which means strenght is not over

LONG PCLN

chinese internet stocks are flying
PCLN is not chinese..., but it's
still a leading internet stock, with
a nice tight consolidaton that
just broke out yesterday

LONG TDC

a tight bollinger squeeze after
a long consolidation, which
gives us a lot of potential upside,
buying on a new 52 weeks high

interesting calls, why would AG today be a market buy order when the majority are buy stops?
