9:44am EST bought 400 LVS at 7.39 here on 2dh b/o

keeping an eye on DXO OIL DRYS ZLC MGM for possible new buys if they take out new highs

TCK and TER b/os on open today but pulling back now at 9:46am

9:50 added 200 more LVS, likely it will immediately start selling off now lol

9:51 I want to get back into ZLC, but since the COMPQ is selling off it's not a smart time to be buying, w/exception of high volume+ moves like LVS

my WB shares got converted into WFC on the buyout, which I dont want, so I sold for a small $13 loss

9:54 bought 200 more DXO on 2dh b/o; bought 300 ZLC on 2d high test b/o at 4.36 area

9:56 my LVS up to 7.78 right now, nice breakout! wahoo - I expect it to stall out near 8, may sell some back if it does, eg shooting star

9:58am MGM+ may buy some soon; the volume isn't as good as LVS's (compare MGM vs LVS prior day/current day volumes, high volume in LVS);
I want to see it break 15.7+ on volume; I like that we're at 10am here and COMPQ looks to be potentially pivoting to upside

10:01EST MNI+ here, I'm in 200 from 1.32 from earlier swing, will look to add if it clears 1.55+ on volume and COMPQ+ and tape strong

10:03 sold 500 LVS for sm profit ($74), since shooting star on 5-min and it's near 8 whl num res; will re-buy if it clears the 8+ on volume

10:05 TRMP spike on volume to .55, then back to to .34, ah missed it, would've been an easy 1k+; I'm in 5k shares from .25 from earlier. Hmm I think I'll hold it, will sell 1k shares at a time if it gets back over .55, though looks like it'll drop here. hmm.

10:10 considering to add to ZLC if clears 4.6 - 4.7 area, looks strong today, though volume declining is red flag a bit
10:11 added 300 ZLC, total position size in intraday acct now 800 shares at 4.36

10:11 tempted to sell 4k of TRMP here at the .40; I may sell if it gets back down to .37, not sure yet. usually "take the profit fast and early" is the rule for this market, but TRMP has a lot of potential upside if I'm more patient. I'll hold for now.

10:17 ok sold out all 5k shares TRMP for profit of $516 here + $128 (sold 4k, then 1k). Still in 3k shares in longer-term accts.

10:19: P&L - Up +$626 for the day, not a bad way to start off the week, esp. given an intrarange COMPQ.

Now shopping for other stocks to get into....

10:24 bought back 1k shares TRMP at .40

10:27 bought 200 MGM

10:29: bought back 1k more shares TRMP at .41

energy stocks BTU CNX strong

10:34 bought 300 LVS 7.94

10:38 bought 200 more LVS on this b/o over 8 whl num res

considering more mgm

10:40 bought 200 MGM here on the b/o over 16, at 16.09

10:41 bought 200 more ZLC here at 4.71

10:47 sold 900 ZLC here at 4.82 for a win; will re-buy if/when it clears the 5.1 or so; looking for a potential top/pullback here near 5 whl number resistance

10:55 bought 100 LVS 8.29
10:57 sold 600 LVS at 8.22
10:58 bought back 300 LVS; net position in intraday acct now 500 @ 8.14... 8.2 now the battleground in tape betw buys/sells, likely I'll sell
11:01 sold 400 LVS at 8.19, I think it may drop here

11:06am EST I'm up +$1,210 so far on the day. Good start. LVS is driving me nuts. looks toppy, but I've seen strong b/os run multiple points, especially when on high volume, and I don't want to miss a new run. Thankfully I'm in LVS in my fidelity/long term accts too, to capitalize on long term upside

11:07 sld remaining 100 LVS here at the 8.12 area, looks like a potential head and shoulders breakdown. may get back in small shares if it clears 8.55 on volume later in session; or, preferably, if it drops back down to the 7 area, then I'll rebuy if it's bouncing.

Here's the scorecard so far, in my IB intraday account.
