Daily Update

Traded quite a bit today. Got stopped out on my ETFC position for a gain of $6.14 (+10.59%). Sold AKAM for profit of $47.07 (+48.03%).
I also bought some GLW which was trading near breakout levels. Got stopped out for a loss of only $2 and re entered the trade with a May $22.50 call at .26.

Heres a layout of my current positions

Don't worry, this time I have stop losses step up to lock in these gains :)
Imax is trading just below it's psychological resistance level of $20 watch for breakout or pullback.
INTC has formed a small downward trend on the hourly chart but I suspect it will break above 24.35 in the coming weeks. Blowout earnings like INTC released last week will send this stock higher in the future.
















GLW I entered as it approached its 52 week high. This will be a breakout play and if it bounces off the resistance line again I will close.
















SWC has been knocking its head against $17.10 for a couple days now. Entered this position as a breakout play as well. Only looking to capture a .30 to .50 move.















CNBC is currently showing DWA down .72 or 1.68% in after hours trading. Not sure what the cause of this is but I will look into it later in the night. After beating earnings, in after hours AMZN is down 7.84 or 5.22% and MSFT is down 1.46 or 4.65%. Looks like the bullish sentiment is wearing off and tomorrow (Friday) will probably be a down day.

In other news my trading account is displaying wrong basis prices for my positions for the second time in a month. Calling and complaining does nothing but fix the problem temporarily. I guess there are just somethings you must sacrifice for dirt cheap commissions.
