Screwed up by buying double the shares I wanted. Auto-fill on the order got me. That can screw a decent trade up! Idea for me right now is to keep positions small, to avoid draw down on account.
This trade was a winner and I failed to take the +$100 I could have which would have been a good single. I considered keeping o/n, being that my risk was not too close, but made the good decision to not chance it. It was a small loss, and my $nvos trade helped the account out for the day so no big deal.
This wasn't an ideal trade anyway, after the slow, slow price action.
The spreadsheet I use to track my trades gives me 4 to 1 R/R and a stop loss, as well as ideal exit price.
So far, that is perfect for me, giving me a documented price where I am an idiot if I don't respect it.
I have only made a few trades so far since I began trading pennystocks again, and somehow it all feels so different this time. In a good way.
Happy to finally be a part of the Challenge, and look forward to getting to know some folks in the community.
As a record for myself, with the small account I started with this time ($2335), $100 is a good win either way, next time I'll just take that, for a while.
CUT LOSSES QUICKLY!!!
