Was holding stable at 4.92, then dropped rapidly to 4.70 within 2 1-minute candles. Blew through stop limit and unable to cut losses until 4.72. Due to European time zone, I was asleep and unable to catch move to 5.14 post market. Never got back there in pre-market or during the first 5 minutes of trading.
Had stop limit at 22.82. Although the chart showed no price on the day (including the candle wick) below 23.03, when I called E Trade, the rep said that right at the open there was a split second that the price dropped to 22.82 and my stop limit was triggered. I still think that is BS and it was a foul-up on their part. Nevertheless, my position was exited for a small loss.
$CHK was up big pre-market. Bought on the dip, but it wasn't the bottom. Goal was day high of 4.95 and stop limit was 4.70, so 5 cent loss for 20 cent potential gain. Stuck to plan and took acceptable loss.
Stock was an earnings winner, but dipped at the open before coming back to 3.85 which was the hod. Bought there thinking it would break through as part of a short squeeze. The stock went up and down a bit but ultimately I was stopped out at the risk level I set of $0.40/share. Best quarter ever for $OCC, so it was worth a shot with a reasonable position size and acceptable risk level; it just didn't work out.
