Well I deviated from my plan a little bit today to try something slightly different. In hindsight I picked a bad day to try such a stunt since this is an FOMC week & it would be hard to determine whether or not the results are due to that or to the change… I think I’ll just go back to my plan & experiment on the side away from the blog.

FRE did had a great push in the morning then kuputzed after the first hour. I actually closed it out with a slight profit due to my rule about taking windfalls within the first 1.5 hours but it has to go down as a loss here until I codify the rules I use to close such plays out.

KWK was actually a scratch since it hit the stop price before triggering…just caught that, so that improves things a bit…I didn’t play it in my real portfolio today anyway

I’ve got my eye on NABI for a good swing entry but the DT didn’t work today

TPX is another one of those plays that dropped pretty far in the morning as to make me take it off my watch-list once it broke yesterday’s low. So I didn’t play it in real life, but again, I don’t believe I have that rule codified yet so I have to include it as a loss here.

You can bet I’ll be packing tomorrow morning & may do some scalping in the afternoon after the FOMC release. Thus I may or may not have any picks for tomorrow FYI.
