HI SURESH! Interesting shorting candidates. I see you like test of top situations. Sebl was a good candidate,Cien i don't know... Always seems you trade in anticipation. I do that too but don't allow for wide enough stops and therefore get stopped out too often on this. I know for me it's better to wait for proven weakness(bottom of candle taken out e.g.)but then again i get impatient...Thanks for the stops. Looks like you use intraday swing highs and then 2-3 points for these high fliers... Do you take sometimes early profits=second guessing your stops (like in CIEN)? stefan
