as i close out each chapter,
it's important to go and review each trade at a later date.

i admit im burnt out right now.. but i think i followed my entire trading plan perfectly. this plan is not a mere buy n' sell exits.. but this plan was an "ever-ending changing plan"..

not only must you have a plan, but you must keep on "changing the plan" to accomodate any changes in the mkt conditions. one example is the setting of a mental stop.. Before the msft rally, i planned to use the 9 day ema as my exit mental trigger. However, as msft took off at a great upside angle, you can't use the 9 day ema to exit.. Instead I CHANGED YOUR PLAN to use the 5 day ema.

Look at the numbers:

MICROSOFT closed at: 117.375

The close is currently Above its 5 period exponential moving average (115.9029).

The close is currently Above its 9 period exponential moving average (113.6155).

2 1/2 pt. difference between the moving averages. from a close of 117, you can see that it's a lot of PROFITS lost if you wait for the 9 day ema.

1) Be Flexible
2) Know the Risks of the mkt. Is it LESS/MORE risky?

just some thoughts.
