NXPI Trade on Sep 3, 2013 12:27 from bethomas47_BOWS: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

Got in at $37.93 after looking like bounce off 20 dma - didn't hold and I didn't want to lose any profit from SFUN trade.

I'm wondering what got you to go long at that point as price was making lower highs and lower lows.

Chased the entry just a tiny bit, if you were attempting a quick scalp. Otherwise, it looked like a better short opportunity. Good try though! I've made the same mistake.

I was looking at the daily and the 15 minute looking for a bounce off the 20dma. I didn't look at the 5 min and it didn't occur to look at it until just now. It did bounce off the 50 dma but it fell back through.

When I was paper trading (for the one week so far that I've done it) I just got too excited to get in the trade and get things going, I didn't get my multiple charts up and viewed. Also, I hadn't yet 'linked' my TOS charts to display 2 minute, 5 minute, and daily charts at the same time. Would have been nice to have the set up before I started!
