To start the day I checked my my over night trades, LBIX was down one cent a share. Feeling fine with that I looked over to BTSC, it was up by $.003 , feeling happier about that I looked at my most promising stock SDRL, It was up one cent a share. with 700 shares in I was feeling good about this I would be up if I sell at opening. So Lets start with LBIX. Opening with LBIX didn't got the way I had planned. it started to tank.. With it history of falling fast I decided to sell. I executed the sell at market and at $1.52 a share. I accidentally sold only 30 of my 300 shares by the time I had realized this it was going back up. I was thinking that it was people covering there shorts and I should sell the rest of my 270 shares. so that is what I did. 170 sold at 1.59 a share and the other 100 sold at 1.58 a share. having gone in at 1.715 a share that gave me a loss of $40.50. Then there was my winner. BTSC I had bought 1000 share the night before at .0977 a share and it was going up it seamed to be plateauing at .010 a share so I went to sell.  the sall executed at .099 a share giving me a $1.30 profit. and with no commission fees I took that as a learning experience. Then there was SDRL... My false winner. You may be asking why I am calling it that, well just pay attention and you will see. I bought 700 shares at .4114 a share last night over night SDRL spiked to .605 a share. hoping it would continue or at least hold it didn't. However it open at .468 a share which is still a profit. it was still going up so I decided to let it go up more, I was hoping it would at least hit .50 a dshare. it seamed to be plateauing at around .49 a share so I got out at .499 a share, Or so I thought. I did the math and was feeling really happy. I was up $15 for the day.with only one day trade left for the week I logged off and went about my day. around 3 pm I decided to get back on and see what I could do for overnights. then I noticed something odd. my account balance was lower than when I left that morning. thinking that was strange I decided to look and see if I had any positions I had missed. That is when I realized rather than selling 700 shares of SDRL I had Purchased 700 shares..... and to top it off it was down to .36 a share. with one day trade left I had a tough decision to make. Do I ride it out till the morning then cut my loss or sell now and not risk it dropping and more. The decision was not an easy one to make, but I chose to cut my loss early and use my last day trade. Selling all 1400 shares at .36647 a share... giving me my biggest loss so far at $116.20. Beating myself up over such a stupid mistake all I can do is keep telling myself that it was a learning experience. Every loss can teach us something and what I learned today is that I need to be more patient when Executing trades and verify I have the right position size and my order is what I want.
