A little experiment for me. Was a morning spiker with an earnings catalyst. Premarket was going sideways indicating that buyers and sellers were both in control, meaning this could have gone either way. There was support at 4.10 but it broke through so I sold. Not a big profit but this is helping me to be better at decision making, cutting losses, and taking profits. I must be rigid in my rules and flexible in my expectations.

My first successful dip buy. Earnings winner and I had a feeling this would continue to go up for a little bit. Had my stop loss at 3.50 and my losses would have been minimal. Very important to be rigid with my rules and flexible with my expectations. Cut my losses quickly if I have to.

Entry comments: This stock has a market cap of over 1B. Earnings winner so I'm holding this as a swing trading position. Going to see how it fairs in the next couple of weeks.

Exit comments: BAGHOLDING!

Earnings winner and I tried to do a dip buy. Not much of a dip and if I bagheld I would've made a profit. But I am trying to become more disciplined. Profits don't matter. Being rigid with my rules and flexible with my expectations are more important.

Followed Tim's alert without having a proper plan and without having a day trade left. Mistakes were made. Lot's to read and study over the weekend.

I'm an idiot/ I keep buying at the top and selling at the bottom!

Terrible market condition. I'm getting too greedy for a win. I need to be more patient. This was ramping up in pre-market and I had a feeling this would continue to go up, at least for a little bit for me to take some profits. It went the other way. Lessons learned: no need to force trades, study, be patient, and cut losses quickly. I'm getting better at cutting my losses and not giving a shit. This is a high skill cap game and I need to continue learning.

Followed someone in the chatroom. This wasn't the first time. Each time I take someone else's advice, I get hurt. I have to do more due diligence. Lesson learned: don't follow stock tips, do research, and cut losses quickly. I was able to cut my losses quickly so I'm pretty happy about that.

Entry comments: Technical breakout with earnings winner catalyst. This stock should have some gains. My support line is at 9.

Exit comments: Not much profits but this one held better than the other stocks on my watchlist due to having a technical break out and earnings winner.

Earnings winner and I thought this would continue to go up throughout the day. Not sure if Trump's tariff talk affected the outcome. Glad I caught the news early and I need to get in the habit of doing so. This trade was not really planned and my entry and exits were not thought of. I need to get better at planning my trades.
