Reverse Livermore attempt


If you've read Reminisces of a stock Operator you'll remember one of his favourite long plays was to enter a stock that was breaking "par" or even $100 lots and profit from the added momentum of breaking this psychological barrier.
I have found the same true when shorting the $100 mark. While NFLX was profitable , it didn't drop too much and I also gave up a bunch on the first short, long sequence by holding it instead.

Good fun any way you slice it tho.

Short the pops


TNA was trending down slowly during the day so an excellent time to short it is right after it pops. Notice declining volume, shorter candles.
