I did it! I finally grabbed my cajones and pressed buy! And the best part is... Im still alive! It didnt kill me :D

My first trade was $HLX. I sent my order at 5.59 and got executed. It was nearly 30 cents from its HOD and I was looking to sell at that level.

I only lost 12 dollars on this trade because I had a certain support level in mind ($5.55) and I wanted to sell if it couldn't keep that level. 

for a while it kept support at 5.60 but failed.

I was hoping to hold it overnight so that I didn't have to waste a precious day trade but it didn't hold the way I wanted and I just got out as I planned.

I'm glad I stuck to this plan but I should have set my mental stop loss a little lower cause I still think it could do a decent morning spike. Nonetheless I got my feet wet and I'm ready to move forward and make big wins and keep losses small.

 

thanks,
