Aug 08 2011

As far as warnings go, the one from Friday was quite a timely one. We did great today, especially for an emotional day like this - 9 trades, 8 wins, 1 stop sized at 6 cents.


The trade below is based on following to continuing trend. Despite being up about 10 points at the moment, TZA still goes with trend (remember, TZA is inverse to the market so going long on it you effectively short the market). 14:23 long at 61:05 gave us fast and big move.
