Trade Highlights - 7/14/2011

Another decent day with about $292 in total gains for the day. Nothing really ran the way I wanted them to, but I got a few decent scalp trades. Here are the highlights of the day.

Long MCHP $32.66 w/a stop @ $32.45 Hit a high of $32.93 (.26/share) Wasn't great, but enough to scalp some small profits.

Long MAR $34.11 w/a stop @ $32.94 Hit a high of $34.93 (.82/share) never hit my stop under LOD. I got out with a 1 penny gain and re-entered for a second time for a little profit, but it moved very nicely after my call and never hit the stop. Took a while to get going, but once it did, it made a very nice move.

Long RTI $32.15 w/a stop @ $31.98 Hit a high of $32.78 (.63/share) never hit my stop. It held $32 very nicely for the entire half of the day. Like everything else it took a while to make it's move, but made a decent move by the end of the day.

I was able to find the bottom on two of these trades today, not too bad for a slow day. If you want real-time trade alerts, be sure to follow me on twitter!
