Trades:
ATOS - premarket upticks to .90. Showing potential upside. Recent spike high 9/13 .93 Spike high from
1/31 is .85
Will try to enter position at market open about .95 using .85 as risk. Potential day trade only.. Sell prior to
closing. Target 1.25 to 1.40 range
Execution:
Premature entry as stock moved down in the first 5 mins, then started moving up. If I had followed the trade plan, I would
never have entered this trade. Instead I entered at .8599 and had to cover for a loss at .7721
MSRT - Entry before yesterday close at .5272. This was the trade that I already was feeling uneasy about yesterday.
I should have just exited this trade first thing in AM. Instead, early morning panic drop the stock. It did bounce and I had an opportunity to get out around
4.80, which I missed. Price started to fall again and I exited at 41.62
QNST - Morning spike
and break out of 52-week high and 5 year high on good earnings report. Also
lots of analyst coverage with upgrade ratings and a bunch of tweets on social
media. Stock held its gains from the spike
and crept higher thru out the day, pushing up the 52-week high mark. My entry point was 12.51 which was near the
high back in Oct 2011. Stock traded between 12.50 and 3.00 for most of the
afternoon with late push to a new high of 13.15 and closed at 3.04. I decided to leave this trade O/N because it
held its spike and move gradually higher with a surge in late afternoon with
800K volume in the last hour.
I did have a few trading plans worked out. Pulling the trigger early and not waiting to see if the stock was moving as I had planned
for made for a very difficult day. I could have done better if I took time to review all of the stocks that I had
prepared for and made a better judgement on which trade I really want to enter.
Things to remember and improve on:
Patience, execute
the plan
Cut losses quicker
Note: Technical issues are still preventing me from logging my trades. Hope this gets resolved by tomorrow.
