Re: HPQ ... >>> Proposed entry $34.45 Stop order $33.53 1st profit target $37.50, 2nd at $41. Am I missing anything? <<<

The entry target was great, it kept you out of a bad trade. If the trade had triggered, your stop was fine. I don't know about your price target though, especially the second one.

In looking at the weekly chart, the 7 week consolidation following the wide range break out bar, had a $2.70 trading range. Add that to your entry target and your first profit should be at $37.00. So, you're in the ball park there. I don't know how you got your second profit target at $41 though, although there's nothing wrong with it. Resistance is actually up around $43 if you go back to 2000.
