1st trade since '09-'10. Tried a minimal risk, buyout news play in pre-market. Terrible trade, but lots of lessons learned + escaped with tiny losses. 1. Decision based on pre-market news 1hr old and misinterpreted (CAD vs USD) 2. 1st time using ThinkOrSwim, but it had a *major bug* with data I didn't notice at the time 3. Waited longer than I should have to get out upon realizing my trading mistake Mostly my fault, but w/o the ToS issue, I'd never had entered the trade Lesson learned!

Never attempt to copy or mirror the trades discussed on this website or in alerts. Attempting to do so may result in substantial financial losses. Alerts are not provided in real-time. For that reason, it is highly unlikely you will be able to buy the stocks at the same entry price, or sell the stocks at the same exit price, to achieve the same or similar profits obtained.
