There's often a pullback after a big surge like the one on Monday. The pullback would have offered me plenty of chance to get back in. I'll have to keep that in mind for the next trade. @Richard: Yeah, I was thinking about that too – after I had sold! There’s often a pullback after a big surge like the one on Monday.

But, here's a case where you could have gotten out after 45 minutes for the same gain you eventually made several days later. It seems like, when I wait for a clear, confirmed reversal, or use a trailing stop, it eats up so much in gains that I'm just as well off selling into the first big surge. So, most of the time that's what I do. I know there have been cases where the stock went on to run without me, but I also know there have been lots of cases where I won instead of lost due to this strategy. So, it's not clear to me which method is better. On the post itself: There were weird <font> tags in the headings, which I stripped out. And, try not to put the chart image inside the first heading, as it causes the formatting to go wonky. This is something I see all the time, and I’m not sure what’s the right conclusion to make.
