Technical Analysis - Practice trades

[mindgames]

Bullish marubozu on good volumes @ Nov-14 / Dec-14 support levels. Placed an order but there was a sudden surge in price and the limit order never got executed.

Gap open. Until the last hour, it was going to be a shooting star with a long shadow - in fact though it might close lower at one point. Planned an entry but @ 3.20 stock made a surge to reduce shadow length. Not sure of this one...turning bullish from 50-50?!

Bearish engulf today. Short @ 401.1.

Piercing pattern after y'day's Marubozu. Luck saved me y'day. 240Put @ 5.8

Not very sure if this qualifies as a valid engulf as I don't think the stock has a prior uptrend - appears sideways over the last week. Seems risky.

 

[mindgames]

Opened higher than y'day's close but struggled @ 419 and closed @ 415. Still questionable. No entry yet.

A piercing pattern. Short @ 410.55.

Or should I have waited for a close below the big green candle? - will have to wait and see.

 

[mindgames]

Higher close than yday. A small spinning top. Does not inspire confidence. No entry yet...

Was looking good for the first hour or so. Long upper shadow as all gains wiped off to close in the red. Not tracking this further unless there's something exciting.

Bearish engulf today. Short @ 401.1.

Squared off @ 396 with trailing SL.

Stop loss hit @ 418.2 by a sudden surge in 2nd half of the day. Bad call. Looking back, maybe I jumped too early into the trade - there doesn't seem to be a convincing uptrend before the piercing pattern (past 2 weeks were more of a sideways trend).

Closed the trade at 3.4 as it wasn't looking good and anyway did not want to carry the position over the weekend.
