  • Buy 652 NCP @ 11.96

    It seemed too cheap.

  • Buy 1950 NCP @ 12.80

    Back from holidays and NCP is down again. So like a moth to flame I jump back in.

  • Sell 1940 NCP @ 13.34

    On holidays in Queensland and having a losing open position is stressing me. Sell so I can at least enjoy my holiday. Plus I can return and trade without waiting for my stocks to recover.

  • Trading Diary Corrupted

    Stuff happened (in an earlier version of the website) and this diary was lost. I’ve rebuilt the trading history from my records (and a backup) but have don’t have all the reasoning. Often on the losing trades that follow there was a day or two when the sell target was reached, but I didn’t have…

  • Sell 1460 NCP @ 13.90

    Stop loss set at $1.00. Had to learn that lesson sometime.

  • Buy 1460 NCP @ 14.90

  • Buy 1940 NCP @ 15.26

    My strategy is to buy at 2.5% off the previous peak close which was 15.66 on 7 January. After that trade the market fell to 15.15 and bounced there for a while. I was preparing a top up order at 15.17 when my team leader came by for a chat. By the time the chat…

  • Sell 1940 NCP @ 15.45

    After yesterday’s emotional roller coaster it is time to exit and make a considered re-entry. The market opens at 15.55 but it is down to 15.40 before I can get near an internet connection to sell. I place a sell order at 15.45 and go do some work. During that time the market recovers to…
