YOUR BOOK (the paper account: your decisions trade it; started with $10,000)
cash $8966.89 · equity $9901.53 (-0.98%) · today +0.01% · 2 stocks, 0 options positions
- BUG: 10 shares at 47.15, now 47.18 (0.06%), stop 45.85, target 50.5, intraday horizon, opened 9:54 AM ET. Thesis: BUG shows the cleanest technical breakout: price 47.385 closed above OR high 46.74 on 8.1× median volume. Daily trend is constructive (SMA50 > SMA20, price above SMA200), RSI 48.1 is neutral, and ATR 1.99 allows a tight stop. No negative news; the move is volume-driven. Intraday horizon with stop at 45.85 (-3.2%) and target at 50.50 (+7.1%) gives >2:1 R:R. Invalidation: Price closes below VWAP 47.01 or breaks below 46.00 (OR low).
- SNX: 2 shares at 230.18, now 231.635 (0.54%), stop 222, target 245, intraday horizon, opened 9:54 AM ET. Thesis: SNX broke its 15-min OR high 228.91 on massive 15.2× volume, signaling strong institutional interest. Price 229.49 is above VWAP 228.71. However, daily trend is weak (below SMA20/50, RSI 35.1), making this a reversal play. Stop at 222.00 (-3.2%) and target at 245.00 (+6.7%) offer >2:1 R:R. High volume suggests follow-through, but weak daily trend limits conviction. Invalidation: Price closes below 225.12 (OR low) or VWAP 228.71.
