Roller coaster ride on $SRNE today. In at $2.36 added at $2.26 but not enough to average down. Then price dropped to $2.06. Almost lost $800. News was good, and vol was high at 8 Mill, so prayed that it goes up. 30 mins later, it went up to $2.35, made $120 and called it quit. Price went up to $2.50, could've made about $400. I'm just glad that it went back up. Will be verifying trade tomorrow through TDAmeritrade, since it won't let me verify today.

Got in NIO on the double-bottom with extra small size due to the choppiness, but got shaken out after seeing huge sellers on the Ask with low buying pressure. Turns out I could have held as it's bouncing a bit, but the bigger lesson is to continue considering speculative dip buys using extra small size; instead of taking them off the table completely. I'm also sadly giving up on ETrade Pro (likely), because ThinkorSwim is just way better when it comes to saving orders; and it's just not feasible to have 5+ potential plays, constantly changing the order entry trying to decide which one is the right one to get into. ETrade Pro's process for accessing/editing/submitting saved orders takes like 3-5 clicks where TOS is 1-2. I'm seriously considering moving all funds from ETrade to TDAmeritrade under a second cash account and using it for T+3 as needed. Sad, because I love ETrade Pro's setup and HATE how cluttered TOS is (not to mention the lack of customization), but I've made it "tight" and made the font smaller in the settings; so TOS feels MUCH easier to navigate. With my now deciding to jump in on smaller panics with smaller size, more potential plays are opening up. Excited =) #PanicsOnly #TilPDT

Sidenote, ThinkorSwim is jumbled as f***. *SIGH* I haven't used it in a week or so and I was like a ninja, closing this and minimizing that during my trade this morning. Heart palpitating "MOVE, WHY ARE YOU SHOWING ME THIS NOW!!!". WAY too many menus and sections to navigate through. ETrade Pro is SOOOO much easier to use. I have it setup so that it's literally ONE SCREEN that shows everything..... meanwhile, TOS has NO CUSTOMIZATION. Terrible. I can't WAIT to get over PDT so that I can dump TDAmeritrade/ThinkorSwim. Smh, but it'll do for now =) #Patience

Hmmmm... Conversations on the way home from the gym: I’m starting to reconsider sizing in. It makes perfect sense once over PDT, but with 3-6 day trades, sizing in with two trades per ticker may not be worth it. I currently have two trades left on ETrade til tomorrow and one at TDAmeritrade til Friday. I’d feel more comfortable with more bullets in the chamber. I think I’ll use $2k til I’m consistently profitable, then raise my positions to $3k til I've doubled my account size; then I’ll increase positions again to $4k til I’m over PDT. This way, I’ll have six bullets in the chamber each week and can still practice great risk-management =) ------ I'll save size-in's for when I'm in a ticker that REALLY spikes and I'm up from way down below. At that point, a size-in would be super profitable. Other than that, I'll stick to singles (technically sizing in would take my position from a single to a double).

Small (-$30) shakeout on FRAN at ideal entry for the Multi-Dip Recurl. Was looking to cut losses EXTRA quickly if it didn't bounce immediately and I'm so pleased that I did =). I'm trying to reestablish my discipline in Multi-Dip Recurls after a few small losses from stupid trades and bad habits (from experimenting with other setups over the past couple of weeks). Decided to just post trades in bulk like I see a lot of traders doing on here. Makes sense. I need to focus more on trading than posting. NOT GONNA LIE!!! I'm seriously contemplating leaving TDAmeritrade and just combining all funds under ETrade for just three day trades. ETrade PRO is SO MUCH better than ThinkorSwim LOL. I don't know, everything is just all on one screen, I don't have to navigate between "Trade" and "Monitor" to manage positions. Three day trades just feels like not enough though. Even though I typically only trade 3-4 times per week, I just like having the ability to trade six times. Although, only having three trades would make me focus on only the best ENTRIES of the best plays...... Hmm..

Everything was so choppy this morning. Top watcher was TYME. I hesitated at the support point of 0.43 and missed the bounce. Profit potential was $1,080 (4k shares from 0.43-0.70). These plays are getting extremely close to execution though. I think I'm going to add $3k to TDAmeritrade, to have $6k in each account.

VTVT double-bottomed just now and is attempting to break above resistance at 1.70; but honestly it's broken too many levels to regain my trust today. I only have one trade left this week under TDAmeritrade, as Interactive Brokers will not be done processing funds until about Tuesday; so I'll save my last trade for a potential play tomorrow morning =)

You know what! ThinkorSwim ain't so bad =).... I'm out of day trades over at ETrade, so I'll be using TDAmeritrade and switching to Interactive Brokers later this week (if I can get them funded in time). I need to get comfortable using all three platforms. Watchers This Morning: SBOT, OTLK. ----- After qualifying both, SBOT isn't REEAALLLY a strong FGD (it's choppy with the up and downs) and it's down off of it's highs. It could breakout again and that's what I was looking for. It IS technically breaking out right now, but there's no news and volume is atrocious, so I'll be scrapping this ticker today. OTLK is looking super promising in premarket.

It actually feels like a really great idea to use all three of my accounts. ETrade and TDAmeritrade for Multi-Dip Recurls (6 Day Trades) and Interactive Brokers for Overnight OTC FGDs (3 Day Trades). This way, I don't have to worry about losing day trades from failed Overnight OTC FGDs in the afternoon because 1) I won't be trading them too many times per week and 2) if I need to exit the position, it won't take away day trades from my primary accounts.

Got my overall equity up to $12,000. Need to sell a few more things to get completely funded at $15,000. Decided to swap Interactive Brokers for TDAmeritrade. I like TD's trader app and I've gotten used to to for managing my real-time alerts. Plus, ThinkorSwim feels easily to navigate than IB's Trader Workstation =) ... Now I've gotta suffer through 7-10 days of transferring funds around to get my TD account replenished *sigh*.... Patience, patience, patience.
