UNXLLong Stock
DaveN

Entry comments: Whoops! I'm not familiar yet with IB's TWS, I accidentally did a Buy order instead of a sell order. I meant to enter a sell order at $15.50 to lock in some profits in case it hit that in after hours, or in the morning if I looked away for a sec. Instead, bought another 100 shares at $15.045. Aw well, hopefully it goes well anyway. Now I went ahead & did what I meant to in the first place, which is to enter a GTC sell order at $15.50. Hopefully it does spike up in the morning.

Exit comments: Placed my sell order the night before, and am really glad I did, it hit the spike in a good & lucky way.

Entry comments: Buying Breakout - because Tim is.

Exit comments: Total of 3 trades on Dec 10th. 2 trades to buy 100 shares each of UNXL, and 1 trade to see all 200 shares at $15.50. Profit.ly may have tricked me into double-reporting this.

$16 Profit
CBMXLong Stock
DaveN

Entry comments: Buying the breakout. Of course it stalls as soon as I buy. IB Says short restriction in effect all day on CBMX, so buying the breakout is all I can do with it today... Well except for causing a reversal by buying, that is. Probably a better short, or would have been better to buy 45 minutes earlier.

Exit comments: Exited to avoid loss... And the dang this reverses & starts running up again - the very instant my trade goes through. frustrating.

-$2 Loss
OCZShort Stock
DaveN

Entry comments: ok, so NOW it ought to go down? Right? Nope, going up. I shoulda waited one more minute to see direction. ... Well, I expect it to go down from here, that's why I sold another 100. Baby steps, trying to get the hang of all this.

Exit comments: Still uptrending. Seems to act the opposite of what I bet on. Need to work on figuring out the rules.

AAPLShort Option
DaveN

Currently this is my favorite kind of trade. But I can't just do it everyday. Closing this one to lock in profits, even though I'm sure it would have expired worthless anyway. Also wanted to free up some margin to sell another Put.

AAPLShort Option
DaveN

Entry comments: Sold to open 1 contract AAPL Oct 2012 PUT for $$1,227.

Exit comments: Closed this to protect margin headroom, and hey, it's only 18 cents left. Might as well lock it in. Just in case Mr Market goes crazy around Oct earnings time.
