Today's trades were a testing of time put in and dedication to the learning that means the world to me right now. I made sure to protect my capital with all cost today and felt okay about being overly cautious but also knew that I gave myself plenty of time to realize which directions these trades were taking themselves as well. 

I had several tickers that I was watching and silly me I actually missed one play that had a small gain from dip buy because I was was faithful to the plan of only playing OTC's today with full focus. I have been very quick in the past to side track to Nasdaq's but this round I stuck to my guns and only focused on the plays that I had did my homework on for my homework. Although I may not have made it through today with big gains I had confirmation that they were solid plays just lacking the momentum needed to bounce properly after the pull backs. Very small bounces but then steady sideways action all day. The changing market has slowed things down and created a need to be very selective and if even one factor is off then the plays don't manifest into what they need to. Back to more studies the rest of the week perhaps to make better gains another day ahead.
