Dummy Trade of the Day - Endo Pharmaceuticals (Public, NASDAQ:ENDP)

SNDK was the first stock on my Web trader to turn green after this morning's bearish open. It sort of set the tone for my trading today. I didn't want to chase the shorts, so I concentrated on gutter stocks. My first long was SNDK on a pullback to the rising 10 period EMA. I waited to see some sort of continuation and entered long just above the doji stick's close.

ENDP was another gutter stock that made a nice move in the morning. I was able to catch the second wave after price consolidated sideways until the rising 10 period EMA came back into play, enabling a low risk dummy entry. The second wave was an orderly momo move on accelerating volume. I was able to move my stop to the low of the previous bar every 15 minutes. I exited my position into the close.

LOL! - "gutter stock"

Seems like when the winners get hit with some profit taking, the losers start start crawling, or as in the case of ENDP, soaring out of the gutter.
