Couldn&#8217;t believe the market cracked so hard and the shorts were so difficult in the stocks I was in. I came home and ITMN opened after being halted. I opened my platform, didn&#8217;t even bother to open charts and just got cracking.  20 Minutes later I was net positive. Like Bella says the day is not over until 4:00pm&#8230;well apparently it is not until 7:30pm these days. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>On a separate note, my dog got sick last night after she ate the TVs remote control so I spent some time at the emergency room last night. Talk about a rip! Today I stuck around to keep an eye on her and traded ITMN on the open from home off the levels gathered from yesterday afterhours and no charts. You really can make money off the tape and those levels if you stick to that game plan only! Trying to understand the ticks in between those levels was nonsensical.<\/p>\n<p>As I write this, the sucker is stuck between 10.50 and 10.80. If this holds above 11 I will be getting massively long for a move to 12-13. Currently long a small core out below 45c.<\/p>\n<p>In light of Cinco de Mayo here is my fave margarita recipe. That will be my after hours trading gameplan. Chop!<\/p>\n<p>Ingredients:<br \/>\n1 1\/2 oz tequila<br \/>\n1\/2 oz triple sec<br \/>\n1 oz lime or lemon juice<\/p>\n<p>Directions:<br \/>\nRub glass rim with citrus juice and then dip in fine granulated sugar. Place all ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake 30 seconds and pour into glass. Repeat as appropriate without blacking out. If you start to slur your words that is a pretty good sign you have had enough. Do not  pull the I am trader nonsense at a bar to hit on young ladies. Use the secondary game plan. But will talk about that one on another occasion. 60c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I went home mad about my trading.
