-$215 Loss
ARGSLong Stock

Looked like possible breakout above 4. Quickly plummeted. I tried to get out and cut losses, but due to a stupid fat finger move, I hit buy instead of sell for another 500 shares at 3.7. It was then falling so fast, I wasn't able to sell until 3.52. Absolutely terrible. Bad lessons: 1) Overtrading 2) Did not set stop loss 3) Position too large 4) Inattention to detail (buy vs sell) 5) Not lead sell prices enough to execute. I know I can recover, but only if I trade smarter ...
