-$450 Loss
TACILong Stock
sykes_next_millionaire

This was by far my most frustrating trade. I was waiting with my finger on the trigger when it opened at $2.00. However, it's an OTC stock which I've never traded before. On Scottrade OTC's have to be executed as a Limit order. It climbed to 9.75 within 20 minutes. By the time I figured out how to execute a Limit order on a rising stock, I'd turned what should've been a 300%+ gain into a 46% loss. But, my execution would've been great, and now I know for next time.
