$PULM out 3.60 (350 shares)  (o/n)

Got out p/m due to the markets being down huge today... Turns out it dipped to 3.44 and spiked to top out at 3.75. 

$GRMX long .65 (1500 shares)

$GRMX out .60 (1500 shares)

This was my first fat finger mistake. I tried to add 1500 shares at .60 but it turns out I pressed sell.. IDIOT. but it happens UGH.

$GRMX re-long .65 (1500 shares) 

$GRMX out .703 (1500 shares)

This was just such a frustrating stock for me. This pump had a panic from .98 to .55 bounced to .70 dipped to .56 bounced to .70 dipped to .61 and I knew this was pure bottoming action. I got the breakout above the double-top at .70 like I wanted and I had my order at .77 the stock was hitting .78 but CRAPTRADER couldn't friken execute me.. I changed my order to .75 (big buyer) AND OF COURSE craptrader yet again didn't execute me.... I just put my limit at .70 and got executed................ It dipped to .68 and buyers are holding .70 this probably goes so much higher (.80-.85) but i can sense im mentally unfit after the stupid stupid fat finger mistake and tiltTrader. Ugh roughly breakeven on the day but very frustrating so I give myself a timeout. 

$HTGM long 9.91 (200 shares)

$HTGM out 9.91 (200 shares)

$HTGM long 10.02 (200 shares)

$HTGM out 9.70 (200 shares)

Stock opened at 12.23 tanked to bottom at 9.27 bounced to 11 and dipped to hold 9.80/9.90 (key levels). I executed once I saw support holding looking to sell into a 50c bounce. It didn't even get above 10.10 and I saw many chances to exit but I got stubborn. The first trade was a good execution after seeing 9.80 holding and now 9.90 I executed. I quickly cut it after seeing it was bouncing the way I wanted and I was right to exit. But I saw it hold 9.90 AGAIN and I just chased and got burned. I gotta trust the reason why I exited in the first place because I saw toppy action not even being able to bounce to 10.20 on it's first initial holds of 9.80/9.90, price-action was telling me it wasn't bouncing. Yet I forced the trade and got burned hard. Great lesson.

$GEVO long 1.24 (1300 shares)

$GEVO out 1.28 (1300 shares)

$GEVO long 1.28 

$GEVO out 1.27

Gapped up from 1.13 to 1.20 dipped to hold 1.12 spiked to 1.22 dipped to 1.16 and spiked again to 1.28 dipped to 1.20 bounced to 1.27 and once it started dipping here I entered using 1.22 as my risk (exact low). It eventually broke the HOD only to go to 1.30 and I exited seeing this double-top. Im really proud how fast I was with this exit as it dipped to 1.24 then and there. I recognized the breakout was weak and didn't hesitate. I re-entered stupidly after thinking I got faked out (seeing 1.27/1.28 hold) but I was wrong.

$SCON long 1.60 (800 shares)

$SCON out 1.54 (800 shares)

$SCON long 1.58 

$SCON out 1.53

$SCON long 1.58

$SCON out 1.54

These were all spread out today but I see a common theme here. I chased, get burned. Be far more meticulous like u can be with your entries so that it won't affect your trade/exits and don't revenge trade.

$GEVO long 1.27 (1200 shares)  (o/n) 

The stock was consolidating/uptrending in the ranges from 1.23-1.28. Into the market close I bought it overnight due to $SCON. Like $SCON yesterday (spiked from 1.20 to 1.32 and closed at 1.27 with earnings in 2 days) $GEVO spiked from 1.12 to 1.30 and closed at 1.28. $SCON today gapped-up p/m from 1.25 to 1.42 p/m and had a huge dip at the open. Since this is a higher float stock I don't expect a solid gap-up like that but I do however expect a morning spike/gap-up with earnings being released on Wednesday. Goal is to sell near 1.40.

 

Overall today's common theme was again over-trading, forcing trades, and getting emotional with trades when forced to cut losses (revenge trading). I've been having these common problems for a while now and since I can't seem to mentally overcome them naturally I will enforce a rule upon myself. Starting tomorrow I will only be executing 2 trades (1 more possibly overnight) basically enforcing a less strict version of the PDT rule. I'll start myself with 2 trades daily for the next 5 trading days and move forward from there. 2 TRADES ONLY NO EXCEPTIONS.
