ACAD Trade on Jul 15, 2015 09:58 from swinging_long: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

Stalking for the parabolic pullback is a great play but execution is key. The daily chart was ripe for a pullback so I came in to the day with a short bias on ACAD. The problem is that I tried to play the frontside of the move trying to anticipate where the top might be. As always, my plays need to have a set R/R which is impossible when I don't know where the top is. If I am playing without a set top, I need to have the discipline to stop out once my max loss per trade is hit.
