While I'm waiting to do my pm scans, yes I'm a tragic as I didn't take the day off. (Neither did Boggo, btw)

I looked at this chart which should be famiilar to all following this thread. It's the API chart.

If you think I sold too soon, then IMO those thoughts don't help you become a better trader. I'm happy with my reasons for selling when I did. I sold to reduce the portfolio heat for the benefit of the longer term performance of the portfolio.

Since then the API price has continued to go higher. Again IMO, the trading mistake is not re-entering this trend. We didn't re-buy API after the minor dip. The PM (portfolio manager) didn't consider the opportunity closely enough, but neither did anyone else (ie. no posts about it) especially after the day of the pin bar (hammer) clearly shows evidence of buyers (closing near top of bar on high volume).
