Wasn't focused on the right information, and blindly followed a breakout without a catalyst. Set my goals too high considering no catalyst (expected $0.05 increase). Could have still come out a few cents ahead/share once I saw it fail to keep going up, and lowered my goal to $0.02-$0.03/share gain; but got greedy and kept raising my sell price until it flipped on me. Cut losses ASAP once it began tanking but still felt the burn.

Bought in a post morning spike dip above morning open and at multi-day support thinking it would bounce... Too bad I wasn't looking for big fish and was chasing a few cents gain. Didn't cut loses quick enough but it could have been worse. Held onto my positions longer than I had planned. Shame on me for not sticking to plan.

Entry: Entered once it b/o hod... but then it tanked. Saw an every other day pattern in 5-day chart & assumed it'd continue thru today so I held on (after failed to get my .725 limit to work). Finally discovered it was a double top reversal (too late of course) but managed to get out without losing it all. Exit: Been doing pretty good at grabbing the high of what's left to grab even though I've been exiting way too late. This trade helped teach me to cut my losses and abandon all hope!

Gullible buy but hopefully learning at the same time. This time I did cut my losses quickly (as quickly as I could bare). still cost me a sizable chunk.

BIG rookie mistake by letting myself get lost in morning collapse alerts. Hopefully I've finally learned to watch and learn, but follow my own path... Tough love is expensive.

Tried to run across the road without knowing what the traffic patterns looked like... I see more education in my near future.

Bought in at the wrong time... During a phone interview no less! Ugh! Lucky to make it out with a profit for the day thanks to earlier trade.

My first trade as a Tim disciple!
