10/4/2017 12:17:20 PM I am not a contango expert but when the market is up and XIV is down, 'something just ain't rite' as they say at the monster truck pull in my hometown of detroit... |

10/4/2017 5:51:10 PM Thanks PT; neither am I. However, October kinda spooks me.  Sold at $99.60 using EOD; ACB of $93.80...around 6% return in less than 2 weeks ain't bad. Sold INDL using EOD $81.46 for 4% Sold YINN using EOD $32.26 for 14% Sold LBJ using EOD $37.99 for 7% 100% Cash right now. I've been trying to re-create the PPO(10,24) on a weekly chart as per CW to no avail...my PPO don't look nothing like his! ;=( |

10/11/2017 6:38:22 PM $105.08 back in the saddle with XIV using EOD. Not the optimal entry but didn't want to miss the party; definitely not triggered by any filters. |

10/17/2017 7:40:31 PM Sold $109.53 using EOD price. 4% profit in a week. Still smarting from the early exits on the other trades. Definitely exited due to "fear" and "biases". 100% cash. Now the wait. |

10/22/2017 1:08:26 PM Rough few days...not because of losing trades but because I was "afraid" of losing trades...that led me to exit on positions that ended up running more! Caught the "over thinking" and "over trading" symptoms! The arbitrary exits of % profits is obviously making it mentally challenging for me after I see my picks go on a tear after I exit (YINN and INDL to name a few). I am happy with my entries; my exits needs fixing (and so does my battle with my mindset!).  maybe ema(8) is a start  Now, I sit and wait patiently. |

10/25/2017 11:24:09 PM I was just talking about using ema(8) as an exit; this would have been an "exit"...yet, I "entered". What was I thinking? Simply, I saw it dump by almost $10 and it managed to claw itself back up. Made me wonder...so I jumped in. $96 mental stop; weekly RSI is turning down...it already did that the day before. If it breaks $108, I will consider adding. |

10/28/2017 1:05:06 PM Added another tranche as it broke $108. Will use EOD price of $110.66 to track. ACB of $107.51  How will I end up trading this....will add another tranche when it breaks $114 Don't know how to post a stockchart screen shot...this baby seems to like hugging the upper BB on the weekly charts. AMZN and GOOG went nuts on friday. No signs of an October dump....or ??? |
