Entry: Chased opening momentum. No plan, stop, or validated edge. Exit: Quick gain. Rewarded FOMO instead of disciplined execution. Lesson learned here, because I exited way too early. My exit is determined before I enter--not after my emotions take over.

Entry: Chased opening momentum. No setup, catalyst, or trade plan. Exit: Small gain. Lucky outcome from poor process and FOMO. For the first 10–15 minutes after the 1:00 AM PST open, I am not allowed to place a trade unless I have already identified the catalyst, reviewed the daily chart, defined my stop, defined my target, and can explain the setup out loud before clicking Buy.

Entry: Impulse buy at open. No catalyst research or trade plan. Exit: Quick profit, bad process. Never chase opening emotion. The mistake wasn't losing or winning, it was clicking Buy before I had a plan.

Entry: Dividend catalyst. Bought continuation beneath resistance with rising volume. Exit: Stop honored. Thesis was early, not necessarily wrong. Lesson was wait for confirmation through prior resistance.

Entry: Contract award catalyst. Planned weekend swing with defined stop. Exit: Exited Monday green. First resistance at $1.38 was the better target, as the stock only got up to $1.31 at the high.

Entry: Bought premarket momentum on instinct. Oversized; no news or higher-timeframe analysis. Exit: Sold for a small gain before the open after hours of chop. No clear profit-taking plan.

Entry Comments: I am looking to get a bounce above $153. Exit comments: Stock bounced above $154 sevwral times, and I should have just exited as it broke down from there. This trade was intended to test the waters with Space X

Entry comments: I am thinking I can get a bounce up ro $157. Exit comments: The bounce go to above $154 and should have exited there, as it broke down from there.

Entry Comments: I saw INHD take off and hit $66.69 after hours. I was looking for a support level to enter, and took a small position at $39.08 for 50 shares. Exit Comments: I exited at $43.99 for a decent profit of $245.50.

Entry Comment: Saw CCTG moving towards a breakout level with volume confirmation above a previous high and entered, was looking for a 10% gain. Exit comments: exited for a 7.26% gain, but sold way too soon as the stock went all the way up to $6.26, and should have known to hold closer to the previous premarket high of $4.03. I'll account for that next time.
