6:45 Practiced some meditation last night. I’ve done it many
times before, but haven’t really hit the “resonance” point like I did last
night. Really nice feeling. I’m hoping it pays off.
6:46 Just hit that AAPL trade at the absolutely wrong time…stalling
out the red. So that’s good. I’m looking for an eventual gap fill, or partial
retracement of yesterday’s break up.
6:49 this could run against me hard…fuck. Good to get my
thoughts down on ‘paper’…
6:51 I’m still in the red. But thinking of taking profit
when I can. Watching TICKs; hit -550ish. I was hoping AAPL’s early weaknes
would’ve extended more.
6:52 On a side note. The gap on the SPY did close. I should’ve
gotten some green there. Oh well…
6:53 yeah I got in at almost the worst point possible this
morning. Damn. It’s coming back, but I’m not sure how far. Looks like some
negative sentiment in SPY. Hmm.
6:56 watching to see if any buying is coming in. Looks small
if any. Might drop below my entry, especially with the SPY crapping out here…
6:57 Damnit. Huge down in the SPY but not in AAPL. Hmm. I am
glad to not see huge amounts of buying. But I don’t like this strength. To be
expected in AAPL?
6:59 Might just be the consumer confidence number? Hmm.
Should be released. Now?
7:00 Come on AAPL. Don’t you want to follow? Definitely not
strong. But not terribly weak either…
7:01 Reminds me. ANTICIPATE. Always anticipate. Makes for
better trading than reacting. VIX shot up. Good sign for us shorts, albeit AAPL
is acting strong than the index.
7:06 I don’t know if it’s a fake or not on the SPY. Huge
volume in. Doji candle. But not looking good? Oh, there it kinda goes…hmm.
7:08 It’s really hard to separate when you have a position
like this on. Holding it…
7:11 Guess I need to give the market some time to form.
Still not looking terribly good on the SPY, but could be gathering strength.
7:13 will SPY get knocked down or strengthen up? That’s the
question…
7:14 SLB is moving up toward its previous close. Gap close?
My stats said a decent chance. I need to get some stats on drawdowns and
continuation moves…would’ve given me more confidence. Plus I need strategies to
get out. Otherwise I will definitely get frustrated by a single loss even if it
works overall.
7:17 New study? Intraday retracements on AAPL? I want to
find even more edge in this stock. I like its size and feel (despite my current
red). I want to get better!!!
7:18 Hoping the SPY sputters here…
7:22 Was just thinking, it’d also be good if the SPY went up
and AAPL didn’t move or went down. Hah.
7:24 GOOG gap is filling from the Samsung trial. Wish I took
that instead of AAPL. Goddamnit. Of course, it could happen for AAPL too..i’m
thinking AAPL faired a tad better. Still, not in too much red/pain.
7:29 SLB closed and then backed off.
7:33 Intermediate top in SPY? In poker I always have to
watch it when I overthink my hand. Anyway, glad AAPL didn’t follow the market.
Might get some pullbacbk in here…
7:36 got my limit buys in. Of course, that might just be optimistic
(delusional?) thinking. I still think th strategy is okay. I want to go for a
jog around the block…get these juices moving again. Might just do that. And grab
some tea…
7:39 Ugh SPY. I need a walk.
7:56 Short walk. Some coffee. Looks like AAPL is about
breakeven. Given SPY’s advance and its fall/stall, I’m holding it for at least
a little more. I know when it’s positive I’m going to have trouble holding off.
But let’s see how this plays out. Turning on some faster music to keep my mind
from being understimulated (Music theory from yesterday).
8:00 Took the profit. Nice though J This will likely continue.
And as I figured. I would be slightly frustrated with my early profit. But take
it! Decent readcs on the market. Bleh exsecutions. You have five hours left.
Take a breather. Look around. Enjoy the coffee.
continued in next post...
