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
NCP opened at 15.00 so I placed the order. I am worried that if it hits 14.90 it will keep falling as a key support will be breached. But I’m testing a system and I’ll be in meetings most of the day. Here goes.

NCP Market Commentary
NCP opens at 14.90 but I didn’t have an order in! It climbs spending most of the day below 15.00 before closing at 15.05. I placed an order at 14.90 in case it dropped.

NCP Market Commentary 2002-01-14
Ouch! NCP opens low at 15.14 and trades lower spending most of the day below 15.00. The strategy calls for buying more stock if it drops another 2.5% to 14.90 which it nearly did. NCP closes at 15.04.

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 […]

Buy 1940 NCP @ 15.35
Decided to try a day trade after the NCP market opened aggressively down to 15.27 then moved up smartly to 15.38. Placed a buy order in for 1700 at 15.33 and amended it up for price and quantity. An hour later it’s down to 15.31 and looked bad. But it picked up and spent most […]

Sell 1700 NCP @ 15.48
What a day! I went for a late lunch at 2:00pm happy that NCP was happily above 15.70. I came back at 3:30pm to discover it at 15.48 (choke!). Nearly 2% off high is a clear sell to me. I am beating myself up for not taking 3% at 15.74. But that’s why I’m keeping […]
