$PULM long 4.67 (400 shares)
$PULM out 4.82 (400 shares)
Opened at 3.60 and spiked to 4.40. It came down to 4.15 and continued spiking to 4.69. It came down to 4.42 and briefly broke it to 4.38. The moment it reclaimed 4.40 I would've bought as this is my favorite pattern but I was too late and didnt get executed. The moment it reclaimed 4.40 again it spiked to 4.76 and came down. The moment it held 4.70ish I executed as my initial target was 4.80. Overall this was a great trade as I read it perfectly. Turns out I played way too safe as the spike went to 6.12.
$PTCO long 1.42 (1000 shares)
$PTCO out 1.52 (1000 shares)
Bought this pump after it broke 1.43 which was yesterday's high (huge seller). In hindsight I should've bought it right at the open once it broke 1.30 which was a triple-top from yesterday afternoon. Goal was to sell near 1.65 as I think that will be the absolute top it's moving on extremely low volume (-100k) and couldn't break 1.53. I gave it more then enough time and even held through a dip back down to 1.40. I 2k buyer came in at 1.52, perhaps the promoter, but no prints were going through 1.53 which told me it's better to play it safe. If the stock had been liquid enough I would've gave it more time but the low volume forces my hand. Overall good trade but I definitely could've gotten a better execution near the market open once it claimed 1.30 and even green on the day. Great great lesson.
$BNTC long 3.93 (500 shares)
$BNTC out 4.27 (500 shares)
Opened at 1.60 and topped out around 3.70 many times before the first hard pullback to 3.00. It double-bottomed at 2.90 and reclaimed 3.00 (which is where I should've/would've bought had I been watching). It quickly spiked right back to 4 within minutes of the bottoming (a squeeze). I wanted to sell near 4.40 (next key level) but I saw a huge seller at 4.34 and it was already looking toppy. The moment that seller appeared the stock dropped fast which forced me to take profits. I play safe as I continue to learn so many lessons each day! Safety safety safety safety safety safety safety great lesson.
$TENX long .76 (2500 shares)
$TENX out .82 (25000 shares)
Bought this breakout above the morning high of 75. It already hit .77 and came back down to hold .75 which gave me the confidence to pull the trigger. The problem is this wasn't my pattern but I saw the slow gradual uptrend towards the day high which told me this was going to be a solid breakout. This isn't my pattern because they recently announced a toxic drug trial which halted the stock from 1.92 to .52 cents, bad sushi! However this solid price-action forced my hands and due to this negative catalyst in play I decided to play EXTRA safer and take profits. It hit a high of .94 and topped out at .88 moments after I sold. Although I may have sold wayy too early I recognize that safety safety safety is a priority to survive in this market. Overall great trade.
$AMD long 12.43 (350 shares)
$AMD out 12.37 (350 shares)
Bought this earnings winner on the multi-month breakout at 12.42. It had the chart/slow uptrend which gave me the confidence to execute. This will probably be a semi-swing trade until my target near 12.80-13 is met. Given that this stock has had multiple green days in the past shows me it should be a good swing due to earnings. Stock double-topped mid-day at 12.66 and I wanted to sell since I was looking at the toppy price-action for a whole hour. I told myself to be stubborn and patient on this trade but was forced to cut losses once the multi-month breakout failed to hold. It dropped to a low of 12.15 and closed at 12.28. ERR idk what to take from this besides DONT TRUST ANY STOCK NO MATTER HOW CLEAN!
$NAKD long 2.27 (700 shares)
$NAKD out 2.47 (700 shares)
It broke the HOD at 2.25 spiking to 2.38 and I caught it off a dip after it double-bottomed. It came down to 2.27 bounced 2.34 came down to 2.25 bounced to 2.32 and broke 2.25 only to go to 2.24. Buyers held 2.25 again which gave me the confidence to execute. I gotta understand that bottoming is choppy stuff and that this kind of scenario is very possible. I got a great execution and was aiming to sell right under the 2.50 resistance. Worked out perfectly and within seconds after I sold it broke 2.50 spiking to 2.59 and eventually fading to 2.37. Although I sold early this is a perfect example why I play safe ESPECIALLY on speculative plays like this which is up from 1.20 today after announcing a new product launch.
$NAKD long 2.16 (700 shares)
$NAKD out 2.19 (700 shares)
Bought it as it was holding the 2.14 key level all day. Off it's high of 2.60 shows me a bounce to at least 2.50 is predictable. Sold due to the lack of price-action/volume. Turns out I was dead on as this stock spiked to 2.50 without me and after consolidating ran to a high of 2.97 during PH. Great lesson for me to be patient.
$NAKD 2.31 (750 shares)
$NAKD out 2.51 (750 shares)
Bought this off a dip from 2.50 (within minutes of my 2.19 sell). I wanted to buy around 2.25 but 2.30 was holding which forced my hand. Got the breakout I wanted but it wasn't convincing around 2.50 and it kept getting slammed down below 2.50 with heavy sellers which showed me either this is going to tank or its going to squeeze hard because shorts were getting extremely aggressive around this level. After I sold it hit 2.54 and dipped/held 2.45 which spike it to 2.80. Turns out the it was the ladder and it squeezed to a high of 2.97. I don't regret selling because at that point I didn't know if it can keep going and when in doubt get out. I however did not make the mistake of ignoring it and saw many opportunities to buy which some, I did execute. Great great lesson and I like the fact that im getting in the habit of taking profits when unsure.
$NAKD long 2.66 (700 shares)
$NAKD added 2.59 (600 shares)
$NAKD out 2.83 (650 shares)
$NAKD out 2.94 (650 shares)
Bang bang bang! It was dipping after spiking to 2.80 and I wanted 2.60 which was the morning high. It was holding 2.65 and I knew how many shorts were trapped here. I sold half my position just in case it was a double-top at 2.80ish and held my other half to see if it would hit my initial goal of selling around 2.90-2.95. Executed perfectly as turns out 2.97 was the dead top great great trade. I like the fact that I didn't panic once 2.65 broke and rather than selling added to my position after seeing it break 2.60 only to 2.57 with lots of dip-buyers. I would've probably cut losses had it dropped below 2.57 but my risk was kept safe due to the countless times I practiced/traded this pattern (my favorite pattern).
$NAKD long 2.83 (650 shares)
$NAKD out 2.76 (650 shares)
Tried dip-buying after 2.80 started holding with my favorite pattern. It dipped to 2.82 twice broke it only to go to 2.80 and started bouncing. However once 2.80 broke convincingly I had to cut losses. I wanted to highlight this even if its just a scratch because it shows me that even my fav pattern will fail and I can't be stubborn enough to hold if price-action is going against me. Great great lesson here.
$NAKD long 2.63 (700 shares) (o/n)
After a gradual faded once 2.80 couldn't hold people started panicing which opened the perfect opportunity. It dipped to 2.63 bounced to 2.70 and came down to hold 2.60. This gave me the confidence to execute as I got a extremely good entry. Im holding overnight because $NAKD is going to be on The Home Shopping Network (HSN) tonight which might spike the stock tomorrow if word spreads about the ticker, considering tomorrow is a friday, shorts are trapped, etc. Chicago777 brought the whole chatroom to attention that $NAKD would be on HSN so I think that's what created the huge spike. A/h it hit a high of 3.06 and came back down to 2.70. I would've definitely sold near the high 2.90s once it started failing had I been there. Excited to see if this stock will spike tomorrow and even more excited to learn what this kind of catalyst can do to a stock.
$XGTI
Although I didn't trade this there's a great lesson to learn. Yesterday the stock spiked from 1.80 to 2.25 late afternoon. It continued the momentum today and spiked to a high of 2.75 before a quick drop and slow fade all day closing at the bottom of it's range at 2.15. It wasn't breaking 2.08 and even forming a triple-bottoming there bouncing right at the close to 2.15. After the market close they announced a public offering! The stock is currently tanking to the 1.80s. Although $XGTI didnt break the LOD (2.08) and bounced a little.. it was still closing near the LOD which is a bad sign. Learn from this as I have held a stock exactly like thinking it was the bottom. However I must say $XGTI has a history of failure and is arguably one of the sketchiest companies out there.
