I had been tracking this one. It was coiling around vwap. I entered when I saw the volume traded doubled compared to the volume trading 11Am to 1:30PM, green candle above vwap held, next candle did not have enough selling pressure, so I stayed. Then it got halted on the second and third candle after so I got scared and exited when it resumed trading.

I did not do my homework on this one. Retrospectively, float is 847M (gigantic boat) therefore volume of 4M right after opening was not going to move this stock enough give selling pressure from PM holders. Like Sykes says "cut your losses quickly" so I did.

The price action was good but the volume was not enough to make it move faster and I was impatient, so I exited.

I was tracking this in the afternoon. It was trailing above vwap with ABCD pattern. However running with low volume relative to its float. I was happy to get an ABCD pattern.

Still Paper Trading. My initial plan: Framework step 2, Looking for break out above HOD 5.75 todays and historical M/r, good risk at 5.606 support line intraday chart. Need to see convincing volume. In hindsight this would have been a better trade than RUBI, I caught late, got some of the move and exited before the distribution phase and cliff.

Paper Trading. I had planned, given the negative PR/catalyst and premarket downtrend, for a long on a support bounce or a squeeze. It ended up bouncing on 0.60 support but I wanted price action, vol confirmation and vwap reclaim before entering so I entered late. Then exited at the $1 rejection, premarket resistance line. In hind sight could have stay longer but was at worked and was scared of overstaying.

Based on Premarket gains of 400%+ and negative PR overhang, and bounce after the cliff, I thought it could be a potential short squeeze. I broke my rule and entered into the trade prior 9:45 confirming price and volume hold, saw vol of 500K and 2.9M so decided to get in, volume died on me. I like using technical indicators but the lagged and my wifi was bad. I should have exit immediately after volume and price action did not hold.

I ran my scan for VWAP hold in the p.m. caught SPCE, which I've been wanting to trade. It was not trading enough volume for a 98M float but saw an uptick with a 300K plus volume, followed by a bear hammer candle pushed by buyers so thought I could enter on the next candle with vol and price action. however, it was not enough, and it was moving slow and I was at work (wrong time of the day per SSS) so decided to cut losses quickly and exit my position.

New to the challenge. Currently trading with small account but for now Paper Trading to get used to Platform. I grounded myself after making mistakes with the platform and taking some trades when I should have not.
