Trade review 5-8-12

I got some of these picks right on this day...

Hits:

GV

A gap up and go rose gently most of the way, closing strongly and up 10% at least today. A winning long.

RIGL

A gap down a cent above the lod mostly advanced, the pull back holding the open, and it zoomed up again this time for good. Closed up almost 6% today. A winning long.

EGT

A great short off a gap up and crap from the hod that triggered after an hour and had a huge tank near lunch. It closed off of the lows but still red by over 13.5% today.

Misses:

INSM

A possible loss on a whip saw for early longs just after the noise candle, when this traded above the trigger for buys briefly. It reversed soon after and ended red by over 15% today. Shorts banked if patient initially.

Push:

FONR

Again, no trigger. It fell after the noise candle with rebounds an sideways price action never yielding a move over our target price. It closed south by almost 1.5% today. A no play push for potential longs.

LGF

A no trigger was this gap down fell out of the gate, rebounded, then moved sideways under the flat line, en route to a red end by close to 2% today. A no play push for potential longs.

SYNC

This won for shorts, but the very big gap forbade entries under my usual rules, so it's a no play push. Closed under the open by over 15% today. A shame that a play we waited for so long was impractical!
