This OTC play was getting so hot that it just went in full parabolic mode up to $40. I took the short at the first sign of weakness at the top and had a bit of trouble covering into the panic because I wasn't getting filled with crazy wide spreads. But overall great trade. I could've profited more if I shorted the crack after the initial panic but I wasn't too confident with that idea.

It had been a while since my last trade. My favorite pattern was back. I thought I missed the initial panic, but it was better to miss it since there was a second wash out and I nailed the bottom. This dip was a bit late in the afternoon but I managed to sell all before the close.

I re-bought this pump after realizing my mistake and wanted to hold it for longer. I sold some each day on the way up and got down to half size before it started collapsing. It was pretty illiquid however and I could hardly get any fills. I tried to dip buy it and even though it technically bounced, there wasn't much trade volume and the spread was so wide that it wasn't possible to profit from it. The bounce eventually failed and I had to take a loss with my remaining shares.

This was a re-pump of a former promo stock almost a year ago. I tried to hold it for longer but got shaken out of the midday weakness.

I tried a 3rd time with a smaller position. But no dice, it flushed shortly after and I had to take the loss. Given that it was steady fade as opposed to an outright panic, it might just not bounce.

I tried again at a lower price hoping that this would be it. But it still couldn't bounce. It took it off once it broke new lows.

I tried to dip buy the mid day crash of this pump, and had to use a different broker because IB disallowed trading it. This was the second crash however so there was the risk that it was not going to come back. It failed to bounce so I cut it.

I hesitated and missed the execution on first bounce of this pump. But it offered a second panic late day and I bought into that to hold overnight. I sold some into the gap up next morning and tried to hold the rest for the 2nd leg of the pump. But a mid day panic caught me and I took the rest off into the bottom. I wish I had more patience but I just didn't have faith in this given that it was a pump after the first crash.

I was trying out a new pattern, hence the small size. I was looking to short a pre-market spiker that went above 50% and down trended mostly. I didn't have a good entry because it did not have any pops for me to short into. It was weak for the most part and I covered into the washouts after the open. I covered the last bit when Sykes went long midday because I didn't want to deal with the sudden buying pressure.

This is a re-pump of a recent promo. I bought some in the morning as it was steadily going up. It then had a low volume mid-day crash. I had doubts about this dip because it is a re-pump, so I took the loss there.
