I will hold LDK as long as the Hourly Chart TLS is not violated at any EoH. Also I will add if it offers another buy point.
I would have already closed this one if this wasn't the only trade I am allowed for several days.
There should be strong support at $30.
Only holding 100 shares so not a big deal...yet.

Zub, glancing first at the chart, I'm thinking LDK should retest the trendline extending back to the June '07 before any meaningful rally can take place. Having said that, solar stocks move in tandem with the oil price. But lately, the former is constantly falling out of synch with the latter. Even with the major averages moving higher, solar stocks are left to rot in the dustbin. Now that we've had 3 days of rally, considering the last-minute thrust we had on Friday as the first rally, a pullback is imminent and these weak stocks tend to bear the most brunt when times get rough.
Good luck!

COMP has broken Hourly Chart pattern support however a distribution phase can not be confirmed until the EoH.

Closed at $29.95. for (-1.1%).
Had plenty of opportunities to close it at a profit but wanted to try and hold it till tomorrow.
Couldn't do that so with that being my last trade I'm allowed I'm unable to trade for several days.

If the COMP closes the session below 2350 the odds are good for a gap down in the morning.

Now that I have been successfully purged out of my position huge buying volume comes in and forms a big Hammer Candlestick.
There is just no way for someone who is restricted to 3 trades in any 5 day period to trade this stock today(LDK). It is way too volatile.
There is no way I would hold that all the way down to $29.67 from my average of $30.29.

Zub, to get around the PDT restriction, I would have bought a put or sold a call for the night and then liquidated my positions tomorrow. That way, you could move in and out without causing undue hardship to ure equity portfolio.
