Away for a Couple of Days

Will get back to posting sometime this week. Attended the NY Traders Expo. Mob scene full of snake oil salesman selling every product you can imagine. Some good some bad.

Still these are valuable to attend. Great to talk with traders and get new ideas. Nothing like going to New York, especially walking Central Park.

.
Stock:PNW
Entry Bar: 4
Entry Green Line: 29.32
Stop Red Line: 29.48
Result: .16 to .55
Setup Grade
: B+
Notes: I just missed a huge winner as I was stopped out by a penny after scaling out and bringing my stop to entry. Should have left my stop at entry but left it at 29.25 and walked away. Taken out at .26 then it dumped. Oh Well and the damn thing is still dropping as I post. Has been that type of trading week.
