Dummy Trade of the Day - Research In Motion Limited (USA) (NASDAQ: RIMM)

Shorted RIMM in the same area as yesterday's long (blue line). After breaching the blue line, RIMM recovered it, but not for long. A red hanging man foreshadowed further weakness and I waited for confirmation before shorting just in time for the late day swoon.

NVDA was a pivot point trade off of an inside bar. It got off to a great start but retraced sharply before making its way back up and eventually tagging the PP. The daily chart below shows where I get the PPs from. The target was derived from January's early swing low.

3 x RIMM = great!

It's great when you can score with the same stock over and over again!

nice trades. I was a little late in catching NVDA but it also looked good on the 5 min chart as well.

00NR7,

Agree - Better entry possible on 5 min. - break of 3/5 following 2 inside.
