LAZY DOG Picks

[Deaddog]

Just barely keeping my head above water. For the 2nd quarter I’m slightly in the red: down 0.31%. For the year I’m up just under 1%.

TC which is more of a fundamental play is dragging me down a bit

Maybe I’ll get lucky in the last ½ of the year.

Gain= 2.82% on price and 0.34% of capital.

Starting to look like a lesson on how to get shook out of good trades.

Just experiment with a new format that I can cut and paste from my trading plan.

TTC is a breakout play.

Symbol	Entry	Stop	Exit	
				
TTC	$38.90	$37.00	$44.60	
				
Risk/ Reward	3.00 	Capital at Risk		0.48%

V:
Stopped out @ 120.95
Loss of 2.63% Loss of Capital = 0.41%

TC: My fundamental play picked up another chunk of TC @ 3.02 this morning.

Today I have other things to attend to so I have hard stops on all positions.

TTC: got away on me this morning so I have a stop below the low of the day and will watch for the next hour and possibly place a trailing stop.

FSLR stop = 13.23
LF: stop = 9.95
BMY Stop= 34.35

Starting to look like a lesson on how to get shook out of good trades.

TTC is a great example. Not only did I miss my stop but then I got cute and put in a trailing stop in an attempt to salvage a little bit of my loss. Trailing stop got hit at 36.36; then took off and didn't look back for the rest of the day. OUCH!!!

The result was a loss of 6.53% or 0.64% of my capital.
