ROST long play

Tier 2, good buy but the stock came in quickly and I only got 1R on it.. Was 4R up

Tier 2, another great buy and good add, the bars were on the upper side of the bar and took nice profits and good exit

BBBY long play

Tier 2, good 5 min bar, got in when it spiked on that bar and  my limit buy order got executed, it never followed through and took 1R loss within seconds

FDO Play - Counter Trend

This was a counter trend play. If it fell below support 58, then it was a short, else it was a long play above 60. Seeing the way it played, I entered it with one position and then had a tight stop to get 2R

AMZN gap up today

The stock gapped up and was above the full support. I started small and added heavily.. Took profits on the way up and closed position. This is a very strong mover and is very volatile. Can easily move fast so have to be careful and often one can get big big tails and slippage on it.. so have to protect your profits. Follow me on my twitter account - @AGapTrader I call out the trades and put the gap list daily
