Hey you guys who lost on aapl, if it make you feel any better I gave a lot of my profits on it back to the market on other trades/stocks in the evening session
Yes, afternoon session was very choppy, with just a few runs just before close.
I was still in 1 stock with dvdh counting down the seconds before close for me
Tomorrow is another day - oh, that's today now......
Note to self: Don't post after late night drinking

Chopped around
The evening session didn't really do anything, and I think a lot of the trades just didn't set themselves up, i.e. I forced a few also and gave back some of the profits from the morning. Must remember that for days like this we just sit on our hands and preserve our capital or don't give back our winnings.
We think that because we are traders, "we HAVE to trade" to make a living. But being patient for the right set ups is half the battle. Just remember, a few winning trades can make your week.
Gadgetman, when do you sleep :cheesy:

I found yesterday quite tough as well, but I broke even with a post market trade on ARBA - took a dollar.
Just taken a dollar out of imcl. A few posts ago I (in jest) mentioned that I might give up trading the market sessions. I'm beginning to think 'many a true word'. Particularily for the pre-market session the time difference gives us a edge to think about the news and plan a trade. I shorted imcl as soon as selling momentum kicked in.
Also, nice to buy on the bid and sell on the ask. Must be like the type of trading that people descibe from the 80s and 90s.
Good luck to all. I really should pull the plug now, but I doubt I'll be able to resist the chance to give the market some back !

Will be interesting to see how things play out today. The US markets haven't really decided which way to go after the heavy selling. I'm still of a generally looking to short, but that could change quite easily.
IMCL and SYMC should be well worth watching today. IMCL is back up to it's pre-market high, I guess as traders weigh up missed earnings against sales prospects. I suspect my first trade of the US session might be a breakout of the IMCL pre-market range, with a quick stop to breakeven !

I'll be watching IMCL too. IDCC has had some ok pre-market volume too although fairly flat after initial gap.laytonm said:
My NYSE stock of the day (well morning, anyway) is JNJ.
There was a decent gap on PIXR too, following noises that the deal with Disney is closer.
AAPL, SNDK and GILD have all over $1 change since close yesterday.
