$DFFN out 3.74 (250 shares) (o/n)
Faded all p/m and I held through all of it lol.... Opened at 4.40 and got slammed to 4.00 bounced to 4.35 and got slammed to 3.87 to hold 3.90. I was risking off 3.90 obviously got way too emotional and stubborn and once that broke I sold into panic as 3.72 was the dead bottom. Great lesson to not trade with emotions..
$CERU long .92 (1100 shares)
$CERU out 1.03 (1100 shares)
Spiked yesterday a/hs from .75 to 1.10 after an investor announced 20.7% stake. The stock opened at .90 dipped to .76 and had a huge spike to .99. I didn't chase it but this big spike told me a big pull-back and a follow-up is most likely, which is exactly wat we got. It was holding the .95 range for a while and it pulled backed even lower to .91 (key level) and once that held I executed. After about 5 minutes it started spiking and my initial goal was to sell at 1.03-1.04 (key level). Turns out i sold too early as it got up to 1.08 within seconds of my sell. This overall was a great trade but my next trade was even worse.
$CERU long 1.05 (1000 shares)
$CERU out .95 (1000 shares)
This was by far the stupidest trade. I chased it after my solid win once 1.04 (key level) was holding. I should've cut losses immediately once 1.02 got taken out but I got stubborn and rode it all the way down. Again, just trading with emotions. Great lesson all around...
$NYMX long 4.04 (800 shares)
$NYMX out 3.87 (800 shares)
Went out with a bang. The stock spiked from 3.20 to 4.10 on an approval for one of their drugs and an investor buying 50k at 3.59. I chased it like a complete rookie once I saw HUGE buyers holding the breakout at 4.00. Was forced to cut losses.
Tradings been hell of a ride for me. The ups, the downs, I learned so much from the ride. The 4 biggest lessons learned were not to trade emotionally, not to force trades, not to use big leverage, and to only trade the setups im 99% confident in. This is my 2nd time basically blowing up.. and I must say it's really, no extremely frustrating that I let my emotions take the better of me yet again. However I am confident that I will prevail in my inevitable success and I also know how much potential as a trader I have.. Although it's quite depressing how this played out, im going to take this time review review review, save up money, and maybe even start paper-trading again. I may have lost the battles but I don't plan on losing the war. Bummer.
keep grinding
