News of FDA orphan drug status. Hit my scanners with very high rel vol. I briefly looked at chart and took entry immediately. This hit my stop loss. I Should've waited for proper consolidation as per my execution rules. The chart is somewhat illiquid and could have been better. I also should probably avoided this being on the .05 tick rule.

Was looking for a gap fill on news of earnings. Was consolidating and then seemed to get a sudden push on which I jumped on. This stalled out but wasn't collapsing. I left my stop which was hit by a sudden rush of sellers. The relative volume wasn't the highest and the way this stalled and volume dropped off was a bad sign. Need to focus on higher relative volume stocks.

Been watching this approach breakout level. Had PR news this morning and broke out at the open.Got in when it seemed it wasn't pulling back right away, there were also some block buys. Goal was 1.75ish. Seemed to be struggling at 1.50 and had L2 resistance at 1.53 after it topped there. Price fell below 1.50 multiple times and there was a 10k block seller at 1.50 so I got out while I was still in the green. The small gains will add up and the confidence will increase with time.

PR about Google incorporating direct carrier billing which this company provides. Had a mornign spike then pulled back, got in on the second breakout due to big block buyers and support on the L2. Set stop right away due to risky play. Stop was hit. Market as a whole has been ugly. I was probably better off walking away instead of jumping on the first play available. I knew the news wasn't the best but didn't want to hesitate on my entry. Thesis was okay but execution here was perfect.

Chart respects its R/S levels and has a solid level at 2.50 with the next one being 3.20 and the 200DSMA at 3.10. 5min chart showed flat top at 2.40 and has been uptrending all day. Bought the break over 2.40 with a stop at 2.35. Moved up my stop a couple times then changed to a .10 trailing stop that got hit. The stock was up 50% already but my thesis was sound, just not enough buyers came in over 2.50 like I expected. Turns out this got above 2.75 where I would've locked in profits anyway...

OTC: Strictly chart play. Ran up nicely the day before with 2 cup and handle pull backs and closed at highs. Was looking for a dip to $1 which I got so I entered. Stop was hit as pattern failed. Dip buys should be accompanied with a catalyst and I didn't have one here.

News of licensing deal. Was appraoching PM highs and L2 looked good. Placed order just before the break but executed a couple cents higher than expected. Failed and began to crack 5min 20SMA so got out when I saw the first print below .86. Used limit orders with room to breath and even though there were orders available, I got executed close to my limit. Not too worried about the sell order, I rather get out than get stuck but need to be more specific with orders when stock isn't moving fast.

Former runner on patent news. Gapped up in PM and was consolidating under 1.65 resistance. I wanted to get in at 1.65 but had a limit order of 1.70 because it looked like it was going to take off. 50k share seller pushed it under the 5min 10SMA and it was printing at 1.65 which led me to believe it was going to fail the 20SMA as well. Patience pays; I could have gotten in at 1.65 if I was willing to wait 4 fill. Should have taken small profits at 1.90 instead of being so sure this would continue

Got in for the second breakout early, told myself to wait for consolidation but didn't. Basically let FOMO disguise itself as not hesitating. Got out when it failed to maintain support at 1.75. I need to let the stock/chart play out. I base my plan on the daily chart and thus need to stop getting wrapped up in minute changes.

Had news over the past week including PM news today. Seemed to be holding intraday support and L2 bids were strong. Earlier Block sells led me to believe this could squeeze if support continued to hold. Markets were down at the open but seemed to be recovering. Stop loss set to 2.24 just below the support and big bids of 2.25. Stop was hit. The dip buy was low risk per se but the volume for recovery wasn't there. I have poor history targeting short squeezes
