Experimenting playing risk/reward like TIm Gritanni does. got choppy so I got out.

I was right on my idea that the stock would panic in the morning given the first red day. I was scared shitless to see it run up in the morning and being unable to execute my order that I chickened out. Overall, I was lucky to have a 10 cent/share loss and didn't risk more than 50% of my portfolio, but I could have made 50 cent/share if I were to hold on to my shorts. Now I know that first red days do lead to morning panics the next day. DAMNIT!

Broke my rules. Didn't pay attention to technical analysis, invested too big, and poked fun at myself. Thank god I cut my losses, but I will never make this mistake again.

The play had a lot of hype going into the market open. Was quite certain that the stock would have a morning spike. It did and the sold the minute I had a 10 cent profit. Was quite worried though given the fact that I was trading in a bad data zone in my school and I was afraid my orders wouldn't get executed and I would have a loss instead of a gain, making me stressed out. Glad I got out with a .13/share profit because the stock and getting weaker and dipped after I sold.

Bought it when it broke out. First gain ever and wanted to take my profits.

This stock was up 100%+ on the day when I bought it. I was anticipating it to break $4.40 and rise to $5 but it dropped to $4.20. Cut my losses quickly by selling it at a 10 cent loss. Failed to look at the overall chart to see if the stock had any failed spikes, at which it did. I was rushing the trade and I wasn't prepared. I traded a stock that doubled, took a risky play and got smacked.
