for those in the current TIBX short trade, be advised that i have made a very slight modification to the first target by adding an additional support line just above the original, thus making the first target a small price zone.  also remember that although for tracking purposes i count the tag of each target (unless i post a reason to exit the trade early), my own preference is to set my sell limit and buy-to-cover limit orders just below (for longs) or slightly above (for shorts) those targets as to assure fill.  for those of you who have followed my trades in the past, you will note that a large percentage actually hit their targets to the penny before reversing sharply.  the thing that you must realize when trading is that you rarely ever buy a stock at the low of the day or sell a stock at the highs.  this is because buy orders are filled at the ASK (higher of the two) price while sell orders are filled at the BID (lower of the two) price.  i also like to set my orders just above or below my targets as those are usually key support or resistance areas, where other eyes are watching and in this dirty little game of ours, the market makers and HFT traders prey on screwing the retail investor in order to line their own pockets.  btw- hopefully one day soon, maybe over the weekend, i will find the time to update the february thru may completed trades performance spreadsheet.  here are the TIBX charts in order with the last one showing the revised first target.
