TC2000 had “server issues” for solid 40 mins since open. Missed good trades this morning and get me on tilt.
Why I took a trade: Thinking this double tops and starts to fade.
Why exit: Hit stop loss both times. I was looking at 10.75 as area of interest and with 10 cent stop loss on both trades I had very little wiggle room. Oh well…
Hindsight thoughts: Had the right idea but entries were too early. I focused on wrong price level.

Maybe zoom out a bit on your charts? You seem to, sometimes, be looking at the chart to close and seeing small chart patterns (which is great at the open) and missing the big picture. http://screencast.com/t/ASNZl7tyC2m
Maybe that's not true, but you seem to, typically have the right idea from the daily chart but "micro" trade the intraday.
