I could have entered this trade at market open which was 5.28. It technically opened up red on the day because the last close was 5.32. However the stock released earnings at 10am and so it spiked from 5.28 to 5.91 and then back down to 5.50 and held until earnings released and there was no reaction to it. I should have trusted my gut with seeing that it was a day runner already, with expected news and should have dip bought it between 5.28-5.30 and then should have exited.

An attempt at shorting. Wasn't really a good play and I wasn't able to cut my losses fast enough either.

I didn't trade on 4/5 & 4/8. So today I guess would be considered my 5th day of trading, but I loss big time. I broke one of my rules and paid the consequences. Oh well moving on.

Entry comments: up pre market on merger, potential double bottom around 5.00, goal at 5.45

Exit comments: got stuck consolidating between 5.05 and 5.20. and literally as im writing this it had broken out and looks to be up-trending. with so many losses in a row i didnt want to add another. should have been more patient
