LAZY DOG Picks

I’m having stop problems this morning.
Firstly I got shook out on EW; Traded as per plan but took more of a loss that I calculated. ½ hour later it ran up past my original stop calculation.
Loss of 1.7% or 0.5% of capital.

Secondly I faithfully set my stop for ODFL at the calculated price of 29.68 but being a little brain dead this morning I neglected to hit the transmit button. That cost me an extra 0.13% of my capital.
Loss of 2.3% or 0.53% of capital.

It’s expensive being an idiot.

A couple more pullback plays;

GSM:
Buy @ 15.74
Stop @ 15.14 Target = 17.23
Capital 2 risk = 0.30%

RES:
Buy @ 12.75
Stop @ 12.48 Target = 14.65
Capital at risk = 0.25%

Keeping an eye on TJX, looking for it to trade above yesterdays high.

RES: Tried to go up but couldn’t
Stopped out @ 12.48
Loss of 2.1% or 0.25% of capital

TJX came within 1 cent of triggering then did a swan dive back to where my stop would have been. It’s almost like having a winning trade.

TC:

I have to admit that you are the only person who can strike the fear of God into me and leave me sleepless. You know I am talking about AMRN. Yours truly, your fellow Canadian (dual citizen) from Waterloo, Ontario.

HAIN:
Buy @ 63.46
Stop = 63.46 Target = 69
Capital at risk = 0.0%

A no risk trade because I screwed up an entry.
I was setting up an entry with a bracket order to buy at a higher price. (Looking for a break of yesterdays high) Somehow I triggered the entry at market so I moved the stop to breakeven.

RB thats where the 69 came from.
