week ends and i went up 1600 profit, and i had a nasty 1300 loss on DRIO which is why i wont trade anymore first 15 minutes of the market opening now to prevent those losses, would be nice to be up 2900 if DRIO wasn't included.. also missed out on 3-5 500-1000 gains from thinking they can go higher and just simply not exciting when they break critical levels. need to follow my rules better
$CLVS been a bit but locked in 300 profit. this stock is my absolute favorite. my win percentage on this strong is probably nice and high and a good chunk of losers were from taking small losses to prevent taking abig hit and the winners are all nice beautiful % and $ amounts. Thanks CLVS ill Trade you as much as i can
over call since oct 24th when i started my new account i am down 286 but i have been trading a bit differently now, only playing two patterns which are basically the same thing, and im letting my profits run until they prove the top could be in. i had some nasty losses that im surprised i made up for, one was a 700 loss on $ADXS thanks to computer issues and i couldn't get back up to sell out the shares which actually went up 15% in the green before i sold, then another taking a 1k+ loss on a stock that skyrocketed from 1.5 to 3.2 in 15 minutes then crashed back down and i bought the dip. that stock went r/g before i sold it. the pattern that i am trading is working so well for me that i am actually able to offset all the stupid moron mistakes ive made, and ive made a lot of mistakes that cost me 20%, usually buying premarket on the first initial spike thinking eh easy money. this rarely works. I literally draw my pattern each day before i trade so i dont trade anything else because i know if i am loyal to my pattern, i will leave the week with $$ and thats the only reason im here, no?
Restarting new trading account, will be using stop loss orders, watching motivational videos to get me in the right mindset( was doing at start of previous account and was working well) and also personally writing out each trade for buy levels, targets, exits, float, short %, reason why, resistance, support, and video taping each and every trade. 3k starting
started the week off with a great trade, being up quite a bit, held a terrible trade that through me off my game because i didnt understand why it wouldnt bounce(buy earnings before release, not after unless they prove to hold like $CLVS did) and today im back on my game near record profits around 1k. I see I have great potential to become an incredible trader but clearly I still need a lot of work. Big set backs like the one i had this week will postpone my progress and has potential to hurt me more when i get my account size bigger.
