SPY

Taking a 2% profit off 60% of the position at 124.55$. Rest will be a 2% trailing stop. Open position

IBM

Pulled the trade here for a VST, bought IBM @ 180$. Stop at 3% trailing. Will post close if that is a profit.

SPY

I got a buy signal VST today morning, bought SPY @ 121.7$ with a trailing 2% stop. Profit taking will be scaled out.

IWM

Sold IWM at 72.12$ short based on swing signal, stop at 74$. Bought SH at 41.5$ with a stop at 3% lower for swing trading.

SPY

Taking the VST buy signal here, buying SPY at 125.84$ with a trailing 2% stop. Will scale out of profits. 50% off the table (of the holding position at that time) on 1% higher.

TNA, SPY

VST market signal is sell short. I sold TNA @ 46 short. However, I am not happy as only 1/3 of my order was filled. TDAmeritrade has this stupid policy of reviewing the sell short order before execution. Sometimes the review completes in less than 10 seconds, sometimes it takes more than a minute. In this case, the latter is what happened. I am not happy on one hand but atleast 1/3 got filled. The other 2/3 of the order is still "working"but I doubt it will be filled. Either way, this sell signal is good. So if I get higher prices, I may opt to sell SPY short. I will make a detailed post this weekend on short selling stocks. Later!

Stop for TNA will be at 46.99$.

TNA

Taking VST sell signal on RUT by shorting TNA at 45$ with a 3% stop. I got VST sell signal on /ES as well, so you can take short sell SPY. Remember the rules, follow discipline, have a concrete plan to stop out before taking the trade, scale out of profits. I will update on closure of the trade. GLTA!

SPY

Closed my VST SPY short during after hours for slightly higher than 1% profit. I only use RSI 14 sparingly, it is not the basis of my signal and that is not where my major profits come from. Today's trade was indeed a clean shot though the market oscillated for an hour at the open. If my system signals a VST sell on /ES on sunday night or before Monday, I will post it.

VST in cash, ST in cash. Have a good weekend!

SPY

Sold short SPY @126.35$. VST trade - stop is 1.5%. Will scale out of profits if success is met. I will post the scaling out at the end of closing, stopped or taking profits either way.
