did same thing but lost more than you. definitely a lesson learned i pray not to repeat. rule #52 don't trade at work. rule #53 stick to mental stop loss and/or protect w/ hard stop loss if can't be in front of computer all day. I'm paper trading while i build up my account again...
-$328 Loss
CONXLong Stock

This was a huge dumb mistake of a trade. Never again! I didnt stick to my mental stop loss because I was juggling a few other responsibilities that I could have put off, but didnt. I had the opportunity to sell with only a 100. loss the next morning, but got stupidly greedy. Should have read further into the co being bought out for .27-way too hasty on my part. Now I have to replenish trading accounts in 3 weeks with back up funds. Important lesson here for me :P Embarrassing.
