Accidentally bought put contracts, was watching AAPL and wasn'tgong to actually trade it. Was a decent position with risk level and position size appropriate. Very nervous because the entry was accidental but very easily calmed myself down by breathing. Position going in the right direction, but noticed market rising and AAPL catching itself and buyer coming in. Decided that it was gonna rip and better to not be in a position I accidentally entered.

Buying call contracts, market seemed strong at the end of market, looking for a Friday squeeze. I even drew lines on the chart that mapped out my risk to show when the chart was broken but my decision making and execution time was slow. Need to be careful in options if I am going to trade them. Trade them small first, then size up. Avoiding avoiding pain does not mean trade poorly.

Buying call contracts at VWAP intraday looking for a bounce. No bounce appeared but hesitated to get out of my position. Did not freak out and have to use a marketorder like last time, even though position was blowing against me. I need to do a better job getting out of positions when they are not working. I can always re-enter later. Figuring out options better, just stick to higher volatile plays.

Buying call contracts at an intraday support line. Wanted to try out options and get used to putting in orders. Went way too big of size for a tester. I couldn't get out of my position when it got to my risk level and it blew threw it, I put in my limit orders but they wouldn't get executed. Put in a market order to get out. Need to use less size right now so I don't lose this much in one trade, Im not ready. Start with smaller size, profits do not matter right now. Also focus on gimme set ups.

Front side short on a second green day, going into heavy resistance. Tried to short at 8.50 but moved too fast and I froze. Need to become more confident in just pulling the trigger. I have my risk points set up that way so I can just trade the ticker. Hard crack off the highs so the following huge bounce, I took a position and risked the high of the day. Very, VERY choppy at first but just held through it and it eventually cracked. Need to follow USO or the commodity any stock moves off of.

Shorted 300 shares on a chart that looked weak. Big spike in pre-market, followed by a hard crack, consolidation, and a spike back into VWAP. Shorted after a little consolidation at 2.03 around 2:11pm, risking around $50 at 2.15. Majority of spikes have not ended near highs so had conviction to short. Did not fall apart at market close, so took profits at 1.92, as I am afraid to short overnight currently. Felt in control of trade, no crazy emotions. Not very volatile of a trade, better plays.

TT2 Frontside shorting , pattern of this stock was to spike in the morning and fade off, spike again around 11am-12pm, then fade off for the rest of the day. Should have waited for a lower high but got impatient. Risk level was 4.20 from a previous day high. Went against me at first, respected my risk level, was in the green but held at VWAP (3.86) twice. Maybe take profits earlier, but dont want to scalp. Built back up and hit my lowered risk at 4.14. Overall, emotions were in check, good loss.

TT2 Shorting into Major daily Resistance. Perks up into where the resistance is and is shot down hard. Took a position when it perks back up, lots of sellers on the Level 2. My risk was at 2, I put my limit order too low when trying to get out and did not know how to cancel my order. Went into a panic mode, clicking the cover button while my losses kept adding up. Reversed back to 2 when I figured out how to cancel and re cover. Was gonna wait, but decided to cover instead. Lose to Learn.

TT2 Frontside shorting on a speculative wheat play, very overextending going into yearly resistance. Risk was 12.75 but would have allowed 13 because of my average $45 risk I want to have. Waited for a hard crack from 12.75 to 12.12, climbed back up and took my entry when it looked weak again. Cracked, consolidated at 12.47, then finally cracked. Watched it fall to 12, cool watching stop losses be taken out for a harder fall. Maybe an early cover but wanted to lock in profits. 69, nice;)

Overextended gap down, dipped then entered when rose up again, nervous but was able to calm myself down, reminding myself that this was money I could lose. Very impatient sell but good patience when trade was going against me respecting my risk level. Risk level was at 8.30 (last close), should look at a more volatile drop/be more patient, just didnt want to lose trade. Next time look for more volatility, how the stock usually drops on red days, and be more patient when trade is going my way.
