today – close aqa

Aquila Resources close

Aquila Resources close

AQA: Closed my position in Aquila Resources today at 6.71 for a 12.8% profit.

What can I say about this trade?  I’m happy with it. I pyramided in 3 times – however if I had it over again the fourth entry (3rd pyramid) was a bit too eager and should have been held off.

The only shame is the price collapse at the end of the day taking my 20% profit to ~13% in a day – too bad – followed the plan though.

On top of this I closed a few positions today in my non documented trades – for the record I followed the plans correctly.  Did a scan of the market, and not seeing any strong entry signals in the last day – in general things didn’t go well on the ASX today.

Apparently the market doesn’t give a sh!t about me – I read it at Chart Shark.  He seems to write very clearly a number of things I keep repeating to myself, and post about here.  From the entry:

  • What Can You Control?
  • The only thing you can control is yourself. You can not control the market, but more importantly, the market can not control you. Only you control when you enter and exit the market.

I recommend you go read his article and absorb it.  I will leave with this closing comment from Chart Shark – “The market will do what the market will do, with or without you.”

      A pleasure! You have brought out a deficiency in my site – comments don’t show up. I might have to change my template. More investigations to do. Keep up the good writing!
