UMPQ – Short – Swing

• I shorted UMPQ on Tuesday during the opening hour
• My Stop was conservatively set to the High of Friday
• My Target of $11.00 (round dollar) was reach today, and I exited my entire position

IWM – Stopped Out

• The Stop was pushed up.  See bottom red line for original Stop

XLB – Stopped Out

• Was that not a total Bearish Engulfing bar painted on the 3rd bar from the right?
• I’ll soon find out if my adjusted Stop saved me some money

MDY – Stopped Out

• I entered Long on MDY back in early February
• I set out not to turn this winning trade into a losing trade
• However, I was just too greedy
• The Hammer Bearish Reversal on Friday should have set off a sell signal
• Looking back now, I should have set my Stop more aggressively at high $175.xx
• But hindsight is always perfect, isn’t it?

MOO – Stopped Out

• MOO was a purchase made back in January
• As you can see, my ‘adjusted’ Stop was triggered, and
• It appears that my original Stop was set nicely at the Support Level of round number $53.00

RL – Stopped Out

• While I tried to be romantic by buying some Ralph Laurens on Valentine’s Day… in turns out that just like almost everything that you buy on Valentine’s Day… they are COSTLY!
• The red line was my Stop

YSI – Stopped Out

• I made an Entry on Friday to go Long on YSI
• Thursdays Inside Hammer was what drew my attention
• My original Stop was at $9.80-ish
• My Entry wasn’t rock solid, so I moved my Stop up to $9.9x, and it was trigger

MMM – Stopped-out

I’ve been moving up my Stops to…

1. Limit my losses
2. Increase my position in cash

… until things stabilize.  Below are a few positions that hit my Stop in the past 2 trading sessions.

Tuesday’s

MMM

• I’ve lost the entire 1R when I tried to chase an entry on MMM
• It turns out that my Stop at $92.00 was a well placed security
• I expect prices to $89.50 before getting Support

• In hindsight, it was a great opportunity for a day-trade with an entry-point located at the break of the Bear Flag, or Opening Low
• There are still some decent profits if you place your Stop at the High of the 2nd bar

MMM – Swing – A Chase

• Pulling the Fibonacci from March 09’ low to October 10’ high shows that the prices have just moved past the Resistance 2 weeks ago

• I’m attempting a chase here…
• My Entry will be the top of the Hammer, just above the round-number of $93
• My Stop will just the underneath of round-number $92
• My Target will be the 138% Fib of $110
• If my Target is reach, this trade would yield some good profit 

IRM – Swing - Long

• Inside Hammer with Support from 5ema
• Stop is aggressively set at the bottom of the Hammer
• Target is the mid-April high of $28

PPDI – Swing - Long

• A Reversal, followed by a Confirmation bar
• My Entry is the white line
• My Stop is the red line
• My Target is the blue line

WYNN – Weekly – Monitoring for Potential Pull-back Entry

• I expect $130 to be the round number pivot point. 
• Prices should retrace back to the 5ema, and I’m guessing they will meet at around $124 level
• I will be watching this for a Swing entry
