I can see them to be in good area but can't seems to grasp whether to enter on that specific day or not. for example, i can't see TBSI's volume is better than DRYS or EXM if you buy at opening. sorry for the question.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33878430.post-88561558190115503332007-09-14T11:54:00.000-05:002007-09-14T11:54:00.000-05:00UA consolidating nicely, would look for a bounce o...UA consolidating nicely, would look for a bounce on volume.

I decided to go with TBSI (which I bought at the open). <BR/><BR/>I was waiting for a pullback in DRYS, EXM and TBSI, but the volume on DRYS and EXM concerned me. The volume pattern on TBSI was much better, so I went with that one.The Market Speculatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15108816250543774083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33878430.post-65578188506568246722007-09-14T10:06:00.000-05:002007-09-14T10:06:00.000-05:00hi, i've been watching EXM and DRYS, both shipping...hi, i've been watching EXM and DRYS, both shipping, both seems to have reached a support. However the volume in the past few days on pullback was relatively big. And the rise on today was on small volume. Is this how you analyse them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33878430.post-76592985069428942532007-09-14T10:05:00.000-05:002007-09-14T10:05:00.000-05:00Oh, I am not trying to get you or anyone else.

I had an automatic cover set at $183. <BR/><BR/>The reason for using $183 is a lot of short term support in the $180-182 range. The trade played out exactly as I thought it would. Unfortunately LEH did not, which really surprised me. <BR/><BR/>Critic: Price and moving average support is in the $19-19.30 range.

Trading range 183 to 196, and you are out at 183? Well thats a good timing call - what triggered you to sell at 9:31 AM?
