This was a terrifying trade. ICLD was spiking like crazy - I jumped in. The stock had pretty much just broken 3 and was still going, so I placed a high limit (3.20) because of how fast it was spiking. My order placed completed, but ETrade didn't send me a notification or tell me what price I got it at! (Usually it sends me a text notification to my phone immediately) - I was immediately looking for an exit because I was terrified. Got out as it started to tank. Really lucky.

I bought at the breakout, and it went up a LITTLE BIT before taking a nosedive to my exit point. As SOON as I sold, it skyrocketed back up. If I had held for 20 more seconds, I would've made over $100 instead of losing $60. Disappointing, but at least I know buying breakouts works. I was on the right track - just sold too early. Next time I need to wait and see if it goes below support instead of pretty much hitting it and rebounding. I'm learning.

Losing more than I'm making - really starting to lose confidence in myself. This was the first time I followed Tim on his alert - should have followed the volume (or lack there of) and stayed away. Learned my lesson. Not following Tim's alerts again (told myself I wouldn't follow from the beginning...can't believe I did). Just going to learn from them as to WHY he makes his trades.
Never attempt to copy or mirror the trades discussed on this website or in alerts. Attempting to do so may result in substantial financial losses. Alerts are not provided in real-time. For that reason, it is highly unlikely you will be able to buy the stocks at the same entry price, or sell the stocks at the same exit price, to achieve the same or similar profits obtained.
