Today was a bad day for me, I lost ~85$ for some of you such amount isn't that bad and I agree, let's take an entire year of personal money transactions, within that time frame ~85$ is really nothing.
My goal is to double my account size, I don't care how long it will take but if this is my goal the only possible way of achieving this is avoid dumb trades, $CNIT was a dumb trade most of you will agree if you read it on my trades wall.
The title of this blog post promises a detailed analysis of $SPWH. I had a weekend position on $SPWH 4.4173x370 position which gave me two days to really re-search that stock.
On Saturday I decided my position was to risky and I lost confidence of it spiking. I know I know.. even after this watch list of mine (and what I thought of doing pre-market) I had confidence it will spike after Tim said on his alert he is expecting a spike
here is why I believed it won't spike, here is a 3Y/1D chart:
It was an earnings winner, yet 10/12 of those times the day after stock performance sucked, I will zoom in into the red boxes:
On the left of the white box - reaction to earnings
on the right of the white box - day after
As you can see, statistically this stock sucks to hold over night because even if there are any gains, they aren't that high.
+ Markets at multi days low AND there is a lot of resistance in 4.55ish, in fact this is why I took profits on my previous $SPWH trade at that level, I took profits at 4.54 because I believed 4.60ish won't break (it got as high as 4.80).
For previous detailed analysis on $SPWH check this blog post of mine
Pre-market action looked weak before open
Now pre-market action wasn't available for me on Saturday (obviously lol), today pre-market I was greedy, I saw that I was unrealized 30$ gains and I really wanted another 110$ win :/ so I ignored it and put my confidence in Tim's trade, but when I saw he averaged down and the stock was below my risk level of 4.40 I just took the lose..
As Tim says in his video lessons, it's important to look at past performance to get a feeling of what a stock does, here's a great example $SKLN
What sucks about being greedy and putting your confidence in a guru is that if you win - you practice VERY BAD habits, if you lose - you look to recover that lose on a different stock
and oh god what a bad trade I had on $CNIT I don't want to write about it any more than I already did on my posted trade. Sheesh so angry, bad day for me.
Luckily, tomorrow and in 2 days I will be able to trade because of work schedule, after that it's only until next Monday, so tonight after I analyze my 8 trades so far I will form a plan for tomorrow, and I will try to utilize what I know this time to the max (sheesh markets are red, why was I even bullish? just cuz of greed and hateful word "hope")
and follow the plan I will make.
Heck if anyone read my watch list from yesterday I wrote after I sell my $SPWH position I will be looking at $MRNS, I didn't even bother to look at it after I took a lose.
I have to be more emotionally stable if I want to achieve my goal of doubling my account.
Thank you for reading, please post your thoughts and replies I'm interested in what you have to say. :D




I'm being very careful with my trades, if I see no perfect pattern its a no trade for me.
Thanks, I mean I had the same thing last week with $DRYS where I took the lost above my risk and then it flew 40 cents later on, emotionally I wanted to make profits else where because it really sucked, same thing today, SPWH lost I just wanted to be green on the day which only leads to impulsive acts.. I know I'm trying this "no pattern no trade" mentality also it's just that I have a problem when I lose I don't accept it :/ I have to get my shit together because 4/8 of my trades were fueled b
4/8 of my trades were fueled by this problem of mine
I lost $380 today on SPWH waiting for a late spike which turned to a dip. Lesson learned the hard way
