Blah.

Flat.

Learning lessons.

Not too much happening here.

Patiently waited for my entry price and held for a couple of days because I saw the price of Bitcoin had affected this stock's price in the past so once I saw the price of Bitcoin spike again I jumped in. The stock had a nice gap up the next day so I moved my target price up from 4.00 to 4.80, placed the order and waited for it to hit my price. I actually got lucky though because my friend Justin warned me that this looked just like a stepper pattern that can fall quickly which is why I sold.

Got caught overtrading here. Took a quick glance at the daily chart and threw in an order. Luckily, I knew it was a forced trade and the level 2 price action was weak so I bailed quickly. It went down for the rest of the day.

Had an initial mental stop of 2.40 and let it go past it, hoping for a bounce that never came. Should have had a more concrete plan and studied the chart more carefully to know that I was buying at a strong resistance point. Now I know to be more careful with stocks that have a recurring pattern of not holding spikes and to be more careful with double-tops. This one clearly was filling a gap from previous days of selling and peaked right where the chart showed it would. Learned a lot here.

Good trade but waited too long to enter. Actually should have entered on the long side at around 1.89 Went to lunch and when I came back it went past my entry point. At this point, it would have been better to move on or start researching setups for the next day.

Had a lot of fear on this trade and should have followed my own rule of getting out immediately when I have last second doubts or accidentally let the trade execute without really being committed to it. Also, need to have a better plan on these kinds of trades so that I don't get spooked out so easily. This went much higher after I stopped out too early. Good lesson. Writing it down in the rules section of my trading journal.

Tried trading someone else's plan. Next time have my own plan with a target price and better stop loss point. Making a physical note to ensure I follow this rule.
