Chart Porn 4/20/2012

Wax on - Wax off. The chart on the 18th are trade examples of when things go bad.  The first trade I should have not made and the second trade I screwed up the stop loss order.

This chart today is an example of when things go right. When I am watching the markets - see a possible entry - have the guts to believe I am right - place the order and the trade works as expected. The only short fall of this trade is I used a trailing stop that was a bit too close and not really my rules when using one. I either use a fix 30 point profit target or I will trail after a 15 gain using a moving average on a 89 tick chart. I could have net about 15 more ticks out of this trade. Why did I not completely follow my getting out rules - again my head was not clear from the mess of the 18th.
-
The two previous buy points on the charts I did not take because I was not watching at the time. Also in hindsight - the other indicators had not turned to buy yet.
-
There you have it - two screw ups by me followed two days later by a near perfect trade by me - Wax on/wax off.
