A runner at the end of last month, AI has been gaping up slowly, but steadily. As I don't seem to take the singles when I should, always looking for more, AI was a test. I determined the 5% gap and didn't hesitate to sell at that point.

Entry comments: Good news this morning, AI, good volume. Slow, but steady climb over the last month. Hoping the news gives me 10%.

Exit comments: I got lucky as I was called away today and was not able to trade until this evening. I thought for sure I would lose out and I did miss out on a few percentage points if I could have traded earlier, but I came out a little ahead. Not the proper way to trade, but I'll gratefully take the single.

Just a small stake in a chat pump stock with so-so news. Low float. Took 10% and ran.

I tried to buy at $5.50 but my timing was off. I told myself not to chase it, but I did and bought at $6.50. At the first halt, I created a sell order of $7.00, but it went up instead, never hitting $7.00 or below. At the second halt, I decided I had a good profit and set the sell order for $8.50. It hit $9.50 after the halt was released, but I got out at $8.60 and didn't look back.

Entry comments: Spent the last week studying hard (man, I needed that), so let's try a real trade. After gaping up on Tuesday with Apple Watch news, it consolidated yesterday and gaped up again in premarket after news at 6 this morning. Dipped this morning and looking for a rip. Premarket high was $2.21, so looking for something at that level.

Exit comments: A nice gap up, but I didn't take the 10% as I was looking for. After dropping to my entry price, I watched it hold, but drop again. Time to get out. Note to self: TAKE THE SINGLES!

A previous runner which also gaped up in pre-market. It also had news of a sizeable purchase by a known asset management firm. I bought the dip and watched for 10%-15%. I set a stop loss at 5% (3 to 1 risk/reward) and it hit it.

Entry comments: Studying is great, but It's time for a real trade. UFAB has been beaten down since its high on May 10th. There was news this morning that pushed the stock up and it stayed there through pre-market. The climb continued at market open, so I grabbed a piece, hoping for 10%.

Exit comments: Work got in the way and I missed a 10% gain. As it never hit my stop loss, I kept it, but set a sell order for about .275. Regrettably, it has continued up, but I'll take the single and watch for a good setup this afternoon.

Positive earnings news, though reported after yesterday's close. A small gap up pre-market, but took off shortly after market open. Hopped on a quick ride up for 10+%.

Entry comments: Big jump in premarket on news of FDA clearance. It didn't gap back down to the previous day's close at market open, but it did dip a bit. I bought the dip and put a sell order in just as it halted.. The order did not go through after resumption and the stock dropped like a rock. I've hung with it as it remains above my stop.

Exit comments: Finally a nice gap up.

30+% premarket gap up and news. It started to gap up quickly at market open and I only expected a quick 5%, but it kept going. As I'm still holding PHIO because I didn't sell before the big drop, I decided to grab 20% (the meat of the move) and call it good instead of hoping for more.
