Today’s List:
Pretty small list of the usual suspects today.
Plan:
I have other things to do this afternoon, plus I’m not fond of trading Friday afternoons, especially when it is supposed to be 80 degrees and sunny. My focus will be managing my overnight short in $ACHN and possibly making one other trade. But going to really fight to keep it low key, that way I can go into a full week next week ready to rock.

Finally back with another watch list after a Mule Deer hunting trip to Colorado.
Plan:
Obviously all the wearable camera companies are in play, I’ll be watching for fading action. I seem to say it a lot but going to work on really be patient today, especially at the open, after being away for a week my main goal is to get back in touch with the markets. I will not trade the first half hour no matter what. I’ll watch and build a workable watch list from pre market and the open.

Looking to short into fading hype.
This looks to be a “real” deal with JD.com, so I will probably just watch.
Another security cam play, same comments as $ISNS
Made a decent profit shorting this last week but really missed the meat of the move, will be trying to use this bounce as another short entry.
Bummed I missed this a few times over the last couple weeks, getting awful choppy.
More Ferguson hype, will short into pops.
Biotech, so its scary, but looks way overextended. I’ll short pops but won’t hold overnight.

Will look to short under $12.
Doing my best to avoid this widowmaker, I keep following waiting for the Ferguson wearable camera hype to fade. I am short biased for sure, but very conservative on this one.
Pretty strong uptrend, I am short biased but thinking I may be falling for the perennial short trap of “its up so much it has to come back.”
Shorted this yesterday afternoon, looked like it was finally going to crack 3:15, but then it bounced, tight leash for sure, its very near the top and could push.
Same as $DGLY, Ferguson camera/surveillance hype, thought about shorting in pre, but one of my rules is to avoid shorting in pre market, stuck to that, plus I don’t like the idea of having two volatile stocks at the open. Hoping this runs to $5 then I’ll get short mid morning/afternoon.
Been wanting to trade this all week, but $IBKR has had borrows come and go, and as typical, when it is near a crack level the shares dry up. Oh well same as $DGLY, I’ll wait.
Made good money on this yesterday and played it well. Much like $ISNS, I thought about shorting PM, but I’ll wait. I drew a line at $5.10, thats my area of interest.
Looks to be another big up day into the open. I told myself to be patient yesterday and wasn’t. Should have been around to trade $JRJC late day, but got so frustrated I mailed it in mid day. Struggling mentally in this annoying grind up market.
At least we are having fun outside of market hours so this trip is still a success: TRAVELING PART TIME TRADER – DAY 8 SUMMARY
Pretty crappy connectivity today so I’m not going to post charts. Decent set of stocks though market looks to gap up big, I’m going to really try to sit on my hands at this point and into the open. My goal for this week is to trade less, and try and take bigger moves when I do trade. Way to much scalping last week.
Sectors: Gold and mining. Lots of low volume tickers, scan for the high volume junky ones.
Trying to come up with a better way to keep track of watches over time. Plus keep a reference to go back to. I like the way the blog keeps everything serialized, but trying to reference back to a post with a bunch of charts is inefficient for me. So for now I’m going to experiment with the google sheets method. I used to do this years ago and just kind of got out of the habit.
I also want for my own use a quick way to check the news, see the price and pull up a chart. This crude version supports those three feature requests. As a reader let me know if you find this more or less useful than a post with a basket of charts.
