Bought CSX @ 28.70 , got in this one on a spike down to consolidation area , it already broke through to all-time highs but failed, I expect to see it at 30.00 next week.

Sold CSX @ 28.36 , -0.34 , -1.2% - it's knocking on the door of the cup-n-handle handle.

SBUX [email protected] - looking for a short run back to the 200MA , it is very oversold, again I put in a low-ball bid that got filled..

Back to school and lack of focussed time, bear market, makes it harder to find good trades.

It's been hard to keep up with the journal so I'm just doing a summary here. This is just for stock swing trading, but I also trade HongKong, FX, and day trade stocks.
