Feb 03 2009

Started out rather slow, then the day picked up with a few nice wins, exceeding usual scalping profits. Long on STT, couple long trades on AMZN and short on FAS made the day.

[09:18] {Threei}  if market gains strength, techs perform well, and it breaks 8-8.40 zone, it's poised for 9 and above
[09:19] {Threei}  will also depend on whether their deal with retailers goes through
[09:19] {Threei}  with Best Buy particularly

[12:39] {Threei}  .70 held on FAS bounce
[12:39] {Threei}  now the question is can it make new lows
[12:40] {Threei}  if losing .55, most likely will dive under .50
[12:40] {Threei}  if breaks .70, means double bottom is confirmed, and our trailing stop for last part is located just perfectly
[12:42] {Threei}  mananshah... your e-mini plays are scalps, longer holds?
[12:43] {Threei}  if scalps, NQ looks good for a 2-3 points with 1997 break
[12:43] {Threei}  1197
[12:45] {Threei}  watch if FAS holding above .60 from now on
