    I am still in, I overdid it with the bounce this morning so I have to get out of some

    Reply: If you overdid as you say then why not sell some into the early move?  At least on XLY which moved higher. SMH was a gap and fade..no entry intraday.

    I put the order in pre market for SMH for limit price above yesterdays high and I put the stop limit at about 5 cents higher, it filled as soon as the market opened and started to drop. I did not expect that. I do not usually put orders in premarket. I should have sold XLY when it went up. I did not expect that either, and i forgot about the 9 ema target and was happy it was going up. you dont have to answer right away. 

    Answer: Well, the market gapped up this morning so you shouldn't have been surprised. Again, stick to your plan at the time of entry and adhere to your stops as it relates to your plan. 

    Second Reply: Please note one additional thing..the SMH is not the SOX (they are different). 

    Nothing more to say as

    Nothing more to say as we have addressed your questions thoroughly below..trade your plan.  Also, it's best to send specific questions via a private message versus posting on the blog going forward.  This helps to keep the blog clear for market information which best serves everyone.
