I felt some kind of way about missing that first run off the flag B/O, so instead of chasing I decided to wait patiently for another entry that never showed. It was like being stood up on a date. No dice.
I thought I saw this breaking out on the 5 minute chart and jumped in on a chase. WHY?!?!?
No dice.
CSIQ fed the needy today. Jumped on on a flag breakout added more shares after it based again But then, for no apparent reason, I closed my position. It's not a good feeling watching big gains turn against me, so I prematurely ejected.
Now here is where I need your experienced advice. When in a winning position how do you determine that it will continue to run? Looking at it now, I don't see any large candles meaning that it was not over-stretched during this run. But what else should I be looking for while I'm in????
Saw this one flagging after a nice run up and jumped in. I got out before I could see it through, but I had to go to work. Great way to end the day!
Tried to catch a move on CSIQ since this one moves quick. My entry was late, but it in anticipation of a break above the previous high on a pullback. I set my stop directly below that breakout area and it did its job.
First trade of the day. I saw it opened strong and entered on first base off the 2 min chart. Although, the 5min chart does look like I chased it and it that case the 38.50 level would have been a more ideal entry. I sold out as it ran up but I ran into some problems with Prodigio and had to restart it.
I thought and was hoping I saw a bear flag but it had to hit resistance before it would go.
I thought I could catch one last move. No dice.
After a quick pullback it broke above the 9EMA and I was thinking that it would give the play some validity. I didn't want to enter too soon because it may have been a reversal.
How to you recognize the difference between a pullback and a reversal? I've tried monitoring the volume, but that doesn't quite tell the truth of the move.
I made a few trades with this one. I tried to anticipate the first pullback but ended up getting in too early so I closed my position, but I kept watching. I noticed it resting at the 36.50 (round number) level and that's where I re-entered. I sold half of my position into the first spike and saw the move continuing so I added more shares. Scaled out some more into a comfortable position size and just let it run.
I realize that I had no reasons to sell but the daily gave no indications of a significant run. I closed my position completely due to the resistance at the $40 level.
