Emotions:
After watching a webcast with Price Headley, he said that he likes to get in ONLY on %R retests and mostly those that occur outside of the accel bands. In this case, the stock closed inside the bands, but only barely...and it rebounded nicely the day I got in.
This so far is working out realy well as it bounced right away. The stock is in a very strong group and has solid fundamentals...the uptrend has been in place and is also strong.

This is my personal trading log that I have made public, none of these trades are recommendations for your own trading. You are responsible for your own trading decisions and actions. Not me. This blog is my way of journaling because I am lazy and I don't know a better way of staying motivated to do it. I post daily and 4hr charts with Acceleration bands (20 prd), %R (30 Prd), and other indicators. I use Price Headley's methods and my favorite setups are %R retests outside the Accel bands.
