Fat finger mistakes are expensive mistakes! You can have the right strategy, the right stocks to watch, but if you can't execute your trades properly then don't expect to bank! I was watching TROX from watchlist for today on the break out. I got a thousand share order ready on think or swim. When it stopped spiking for several minutes at 4.22 I held back, and started watching CNIT on the break out over 2.00. It spiked came back and held support above two and I pressed the buy button for 1k shares on TROX thinking I was buying CNIT. Obviously I freaked out and sold my position in TROX of 1000 shares immediately at 4.28. If you have seen this chart today you can bet I'm regretting this now! After selling out of this position I got back into CNIT at 2.07. Here's the kicker, I wanted 1k shares of CNIT and accidentally bought 100 shares of this stock. So I bought into amazing patterns today that are very low price, and just about broke even for a scratch on my executions. I must get better!!!!! It has been a slow process but I can feel the progress and growth taking place. Be careful and know what you are executing every time and how many shares you are buying
yea i see what you mean stuff happens !
I usually take too long..lol Dustin practice makes perfect. One day you'll be a stone cold trader and look back and wonder how you got so flustered. Before you send the trade verify it so if your going to enter at 9 get it in at 8.5 and verifyand you know this dont chase.
Stuff like this does happen to the best of us. Stay strong buddy.
Thanks guys!
