Just a random trade, no reason for it. Tried to ss a beat chart in the lull of the day on no volume. I think I just wanted to buy my broker dinner. haha

I put my first order to short this at 16.25, got a hard to borrow notification, for some reason that was enough to make me hesitate. Decided to wait until it broke $16. Got executed at .9401. Chased some more at .4567. New average .6984. Got out at .76 after it bounced off of and held 15.50. My first thought was the correct one here. 16.25. SS a confident position and hold. This will probably crash in the next day or two, but I'm a frickin pansy. I'm not gonna hold it overnight.

Trying to buy a b/o of the day's highs, picked the top. My mistake was betting on a b/o of a stock that was already up 125%. Could it have broken out and gone higher? Yes, but it was already up a ton so the odds weren't in my favor.

Same thing as the first trade a few minutes earlier. I tried to get back in, was afraid that I would miss the move, "hoping" the stock was going to crash right then for an immediate $2-$5 move . Chose almost the exact bottom and once again the price spiked almost the second I placed the order. For future reference this ticker closed at 5.23 two days ago and reached a high of 18.60 today before going g/r. Low float of ~4.2m, traded over 10 times that yesterday, so that's what everyone is playing.

Man, I have a gift for finding the bottom almost every time. Now I just need to bet against myself and I'll start making some bank. Tried to chase this trade, stock had already broken g/r a while back and I traded out of fear of missing the move. Got scared out with a little consolidation, should have set my pain level a little higher. It was also a mistake to trade this in the first couple of hours of the day. If this thing cracks today, it'll probably be in the afternoon. Plus it's Friday....

This is one of the worst trades I've made yet. 1. Shorting on the first day of a huge up move, which even at the time I knew was wrong. 2. No clear breakdown point or target price, I was just kind of eyeballing it. 3. Using Etrade's web software to trade. It's clunky as hell, and doesn't help at all with emotionless trading. I'm gonna pony up for E-Trade Pro right now.

Even though I was spot on about the morning spike, I was upset at myself for taking such a small position and also about chickening out ~50 cents earlier than my target price, so I ignored my own setup and tried to force another trade. Luckily that was almost the exact top and I got burned immediately for 37 cents - I say luckily because if the stock had kept going it would only have reinforced a bad tendency. This was a great lesson - and it only cost me about $100.

I bought at the market open based on a pre-market news article about them having an agreement with Alibaba (http://goo.gl/axWM75). This is the most confident position I've taken yet, aiming for around $1 share upside with around 20 cents downside. I pansied out and sold before my price target however, scared out by a minute or 2 of consolidation and took a profit.

Stock was up around $3 premarket based on an article about one of their drugs. It had closed at 3.91 the previous day and reached almost $7 premarket before heading back down to 5.57 @ market open. Stock was hovering around 5.80, I bought hoping for a breakout of $6 but got denied.

Stock looked to be holding higher lows, I bet it would continue for the rest of the day, but when it dipped I got out quick.
