The 200-day EMA (exponential moving average) is near $58. The 200-day SMA (simple moving average) is close to $57.5. So, I think it's the difference in types of moving averages that's being used.

Well, dang! I thought I had set a stop limit to short M (Macy's) this morning. Turns out I bought it instead! Dumb mistake. At first, I couldn't figure out why I was losing money on my "short" while the stock was dropping. 

UAL looking a bit extended

UAL looking a bit extended here. Could drop a bit if airlines pull back.

ETP looking ripe for a breakout.

My solution was to automate my day trades using MultiCharts. Today I have 19 setups , 7 of which have triggered. Kind of necessary since I have to work during the day. Speaking of which, I need to go prepare for a webinar. Love the pee-in-a-bottle idea, except that I might accidentally reach for the wrong bottle when I need a drink. So I probably won't be doing that. Good luck all!

Thanks for the great trade

Thanks for the great trade ideas lately, guys (esp. Steve & Matt)! ROKU, TECD, and MCK (which I almost didn't trade) worked really well today.

Here's a good COT chart which updates on Tuesdays (as of the previous Friday). You can see the little commercial long jot on the last date. http://snalaska.com/cot/current/charts/SI.png

BA  Daily

@ EdZ - BA was indeed a great trade. Managed to get in just after the open and sold it at the close.

Thanks, Steve! To confirm, you mean the stock price x 0.005 (or less), correct? 

Hey Matt, Steve, or anyone

Posted by McFly1985 on 26th of Jul 2018 at 07:09 pm

Hey Matt, Steve, or anyone who wants to answer. Can anyone suggest a rule or some guidelines for buying using a stop-limit to buy breakouts? I find that my stop limits often get skipped over, especially for breakouts in the first few minutes of the day. For a $40 stock, I might have a stop-limit spread of 0.04. For a $100 stock, it might be 0.06 or 0.07. Do these seem too tight, or do I just need to get used to having them being skipped over sometimes? My broker is IB, btw. Thanks!
