Thinking of going short in CROX again if it break below yesterdays low. Just curious if you were still watching this?

got the open. watched it plummit and went to get a bowl of cereal and came back to a minor loss. Not a biggie I think this will be a 2-3 day hold unless I get momentum type gains today... ie <3pts.

Set up a few piggy back intra day. that's been working really well lately. once the position is proffitable to keep adding on .. and if the position is looking like a looser tighten up the stop which for me is already tight after a day or two to intra day ...All the piggy backs make it worth it and mroe than cover the losses on the loosers
so far i'm up to three before exiting with all proffitable on the last. Prior one the last lot ws a looser of the three. I'm goign to try to go for 4 on CROX (with in 3% of my capital at risk)

Scott, I'm bearish too on crox but I never play it right at the open. I'm waiting for a decent pop and then I'll buy the march 35 puts, the febs are too close to expiration. Same situation on the spy, being patient for a pop. Good luck!  Mikepass

I was dong over $200 in the am... ALMOST took it... the thing is I need to submit my order and not manage them intra day. I saw something I didn't like so I tried to make an exit but I couldn't type fast enough with a baby in one hand and trying to move my limit up ... took a small loss. changed the diaper and found price right back in my proffit zone  .
I'm resolved.. I'm reentering if the previous low is breeched or if the gap fills 1/2 way i'll take a 1/3 position.. ... if price falls fromteh previous intra day high i'll move up my limit order and geti right back in .. then i'm shutting down and playing smoochie monster. I did well on another trade earlier so it's hard to imagine turning the day into a loss...I know it can hapen I've seen it.. but reguardless CROX is trapped and i'm not micromanageing it this time.. last time I left 2/3 of the run on the table from micro managing.
Actually I'm trying to get away from the "day trading" as I don't really have time for it now. I was super proffitable with EOD data only before.. and submitting orders based on that .... I'm trying to get back to that place.
