Scorpion Moon Thursday

General notes
As I have written earlier I wanted to know more about advanced stop orders (trailing and contingent). Thus, I have jumped into the optionsxpress.com educate resources. Only, had no time to read them through the day.

Watchlist additions and trade candidates filtered
There's not much with watchlist additions obviously.
TTC-A long: AL, BUCY, CAM, ESRX, GRP, ISE, DE, MLM, MRO, PD, VOLV, X
GAPH long: (none)
MACDV long: HAL

Trade session notes
Not so much to speak about as I have had a really hectic day. My MAN Put has been adding to its loosing side, as the trailing stop did not work as expected. That was it for the day, I guess.
