Emotions:
This was very difficult as HAS has been in an uptrend for a few weeks..with no retests on the daily chart and very few retests on the hourly chart. No news. This is in essence a short term trading not necessarily a day trade but very short term. Also these are closer to being at the money rather than very deeper in the money.
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.
