Dorine: I had changed my order to sell at $45 1/8. One of my little rules of thumb is that you always get two shots at your original intention to buy or sell. Having tried $45 1/8 before I said I should have tried $44 1/2. Got my second chance but blew it! But according to your experience I might not have got it anyway!

One of the nice things about trading a stock with strong upward momentum is that if you miss selling before the dip you can always profit by buying before the next pip. Dip, pip - I'm a poet and don't know it.

Dorine: I don't see that CPQ traded at 44-1/2 so if you had a limit order in (even though a limit order is supposed to be at your price or better) it probably didn't get triggered. The 44-3/4 may have been a small single trade.
