Bob, I have to do my "scouting" now and so I will write on the spike and ledge (I looked it up again) and such tomorrow okay? But you know what is troubling me or at least giving me some questions? The stocks from Friday with small to bigger gaps that were left in the techs. I am a short term trader Bob. I look to what I think may happen longer--for me that is through December....:) but I am really looking to trade for "Monday"....."Tuesday"...... I have a new rule I will not break for right now and that is no overnight trades. You see I came just "this close" to getting into OXHP as an overnight trade cause I thought I might choke within the first 30 minutes which is when many trades "should" be made to get the move for a one day (actually less than day) trade (another is later on with short covering and such and you can usually count on DELL for a one point sometime later).....I had been choking lately and thought.....just put the trade on at the close and use a bit larger stop if you believe in the trade Autumn......I would have A) had to have a 4l point stop loss.....:) and B) I would have basically put myself out of business on that one trade...... With the market as "touchy" as it is lately and upgrades and downgrades and limit downs and limit ups being almost common I added that rule so I may miss alot but then outside of a "trading halt" I cannot be put out of business when I wake up on any given day. What I am saying I guess in a round about way that I hadn't even noticed and have adapted to the "new market conditions"....is that I have somewhat abandoned trading like I was doing and just looking for l+ point moves I can get in and out of as a day trade..... You see those OXHP "near death" experiences change a person......:) Autumn
