Dummy Trade of the Day - NVIDIA Corporation (Public, NASDAQ:NVDA)


Today's market gap up was a screaming fade as the NASDAQ and Q's hit a wall of resistance on the open. The first pullback felt like it might rally but just ended up chopping around. Lunch time became the prime opportunity to look for a low risk entry on a weak stock. There were several candidates but I finally went with NVDA because it consolidated the first leg down in a tight narrow range as it waited for the downsloping 10 period MA to catch up to price.

Hi Russ, and welcome to the blog.

My plan calls for taking money out of the markets 4 out 5 days a week. I don't always trade on options expiration Friday's because of the narrow trading ranges. Fed statement days are also increasingly difficult to trade. Tues., Wed., and Thurs. are usually the best days.
