Well TOS was lagging again. But with yesterday's lesson, I figured I would place the trade and just proceed with the understanding that the trade was made. My assumption was that this still wanted to climb, at least a little. I waited for the first pullback and bought at 7.22. Pulled back some more, added at 6.83. Then put my target at 7.20 and waited. Only took a couple minutes and it jumped and sold. Good thing because soon after that, only spiking to 7.35, it began to dump down to 6.22. I would be watching this to short, but I have had a really hard time getting shares with TOS lately.

Thanks. When I reach my goal for the day (which is currently just $200. I am in punishment mode because of a very bad day two weeks ago), I import my trades to here, close everything and walk away. I have turned too many green days into red days by not walking away.
PilotTerry, did you mean Active Trader Pro (from Fidelity)? I just took a look at it, yeh it doesn't look that great. Then again, TOS (Think Or Swim, from TD Ameritrade) has been laggy for the first 30 minutes of the day for the last 3 days. Not normal. Must be something going on. Kind of odd. The charts are not lagging, but the trading ladder is behind. So once I figured that out, I was fine.

Yes, Active Trader Pro - Fidelity. Since only being on it a month, I've had a learning curve, but I've configured it to properly monitor Level II, and 6 hot buttons. The hot keys are limited but ok for now till I can do Lightspeed with at least 12 hot keys. The order execution is really fast in ATP similar to what I've seen when comparing it to TOS and Lightspeed. I've used TOS charts etc in a limited way before. Here's an example of quick in / out today. https://imgur.com/gyXQ3Ub

Nice work, I initially was in/out with green a dollar per share, with very small share size, then fumbled my next executions. Using Advanced Trader Pro - Laggy...
