Autonomy Corp – the pain of trading

aarrgghhhh….b*ll#x

Autonomy Corp, rose 7.1% today to close at 1376. I blogged on 15th April (after my 1300 stop had been hit), that I was going to monitor this stock and ‘see what happens‘.
(See graph left – my analysis from 22nd April, looking at 68% Fib retracement)
Well now it’s bloody clear what’s happened! The pro’s forced the [...]

Trading Update – Autonomy continues to tank

Today saw my 1300 stop on Autonomy hit. It wasn’t a great surprise, but left me feeling a little disappointed given it was up at 1400 a couple of days ago.

Autonomy Corp Plc
Entry: 1237 (17th March 2009)
Exit: 1300 (15th April 2009)
Attic Fund profit: 1.9%

I will continue to look for buying opportunities on this stock [...]

Trading Update – Hurry up and wait…

AtticFund Update;
Centamin Egypt +12.9%
Autonomy Corp +6.7%
AtticFund +3.8%

After Mondays rise in Gold ($884 to $894), I felt that Centamin Egypt (CEY.L) could well benefit from this rise and from the open things looked good, with Centamin rising from 57.3 on open to a high of 60.8p in only 2 hrs.
As I’m using a leveraged product this [...]

Trading Update – Rough ride for the AtticMan

It’s been a rough couple of days for the fledgling AtticFund. With both stocks falling dramatically in the last couple of days.
Centamin is down 14.7% from a high of 62.2 on 1st April to 54.2 today and Autonomy is down7.3% from a high of 1421 yesterday to 1324 today.
It’s never nice when the portfolio takes [...]

Trading Update – The AtticFund (5.5% for month)

Centamin Egypt CEY.L (+19.8%)

Keep an eye on the weekly candles, potential bearish formation.

Potential Resistance @ 65
Potential Support @ 60

Stop @ 51.58 (Trade is now risk free)
Target @ 70

Autonomy Corp AUTN.L (+9.11%)
Daily and weekly candles are bullish

Potential Resistance @ 1360
Potential Support @ 1250

Trading Update – The AtticFund

The AtticFund currently has 2 long and 0 short positions:

Centamin Egypt (CEY.L)
Bought@50.57. Current Price 54.75 (up 8.3%)

Autonomy Corp (AUTN.L)
Bought@1237.78 Current Price 1312 (up 5.9%)

The Fund is up 2.9% since 24th February 2009

Both stocks now look extended from value and with a pretty decent return it’s tempting to take something from the table. I’d like to [...]

Autonomy Corp PLC – In long

My Buy Limit on Autonomy Corp was filled today. So the AtticFund is slowly (veeerryy slowly) taking shape. I don’t think it was the best entry I’ve ever made as I think there may be a further drop in the price (assuming the current dip is a pullback), but my stop gives this trade a [...]

Autonomy Corp – Trading Update

My focus over the next couple of weeks is in building the AtticFund (ok that’s been the stated intention for sometime now, but things have been getting in the way….). I think I may also be suffering from ‘Traders Block’ or put another way failing to pull the trigger. This is something I’m aware I’ve [...]

The AtticFund – Trading Update

Getting fully invested is taking longer than expected – not least because I’ve been somewhat sidetracked by twitter! – I’ve posted a couple of blogs about this crazy little tool – It really is pretty cool. I’m up to 169 followers – mostly trading dudes and the odd celeb! Follow me if you want to [...]
