Was fighting R/G for awhile and ended up failing.

Failed channel break

Such a bad trade.

dip buy that didn't go my way

My first large gain! This recent spiker started to run up once again after its consolidation period. started to gain vol mid-day and it looked like a good opportunity. It also had some news right before and acted as a good catalyst. I knew that it was going to have a hard time passing 4 and should have taken most of my profits there. Overall, this was a great trade.

Was a mid day double top breakout with increased vol with good r/r. It didn't follow my plan so I cut it early.

I can do a much better job of listening to the long-term chart. I was "hoping" not "reacting" that it would go past its long-term resistance. It did not and I bought in too high once the market opened. I need to play it safer and listen to the indicators more.

My first trade, my emotions took the best of me and i lost quite a bit on this one. Trading with real money is much different. I know the feeling now and I have learned from my mistake.
