LQR was in jeopardy of being delisted. They did a RS trying to hold $1. It trended lower to 1. I entered @ 1.11, expecting them to put out some PR for it to spike. They had some weak PR, a few days later it fell below $1, and I exited at 0.97 with low confidence that they would promote it. If I had been a little more patient, it ran well above $2 closer to day 10. Pros: I cut my losses as planned. Cons: I should have waited for an entry closer to 1, given myself a better risk level, & patience.

Was using 0.75 as risk/support level after trending down. Super small size, just testing the waters on a different strategy. In at 0.765 with 20 shares. It dipped slightly below the support to .71 (wick, closed 1m candle at .739), popped back up to 0.78 (wick) and I sold. Nice small profit, super small size. Just testing waters and working on my knowledge bank.

XGPT play. I've experimented with several XGPT recommendations. I bought the service thinking it was going to be SO GREAT, as advertised, but just super disappointed with all of the marketing tactics now. Probably won't be using XGPT. Anyways, the AI emailed around 2:15PM CST it ran to 1.06 about 20 minutes later. I got in at .96 when it dipped down, but just kept going down at that point. Never hit 1.06 again. Probably my last XGPT play.

XGPT play. Not really sure what happened here, was expecting to see this breakout over the XGPT suggested entry of 2.85, but didn't breakout. Bought at 2.79 and decided to hold it throughout the day and just see what happens. I held until it broke down to 2.60 - after hours. The spread was a little wide, so I was able to exit at 2.65 for a loss. Interestingly, it started to move up some just before after hours ended. Probably could've got out at a little better price, but will continue to watch.

XGPT play. Entered at 2.72 with 2500 shares waiting for a breakout. A big seller popped up at 2.75, so I decided to sell at 2.74 because I wasn't sure if he'd get taken out. A few minutes later it ran up to 2.85 (XGPT suggested entry price) and a big seller reappeared. Since it's testing 2.85 now, I'll probably re-enter. Not good enough yet with tape to see if he actually got taken out or just moved his ask price up.

Watching L2, T&S, and a 1 min chart from about 11AM to 12:15. It felt really choppy, but I was just trying to get a feel for what order sizes look like and how they affect the movement and chart of the stock. About an hour into it watching it, I wanted to see if I could make a good judgement on when to enter and exit based on the data. All things considered, the stock was WAY up and could have crashed at any moment, but I definitely would have exited somewhere between 2.66 and 2.68 if so.

Absolutely disgusting example of bag holding. This was a $5,000+ loss after paying commissions and fees, etc. This could have EASILY been a nice profit if I had ignored the hype and just reacted to movement of the stock. I got in at 0.0184 with 200,000 shares, and I had plenty of opportunity to exit with a profit, even though the stock was crashing down. I had the opportunity to take several thousand dollars even if I had sold the following day around 0.029...sickening. DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE.

I decided to have another look at CDIO a few days later, not because I'm expecting it to take off or anything, but because I wanted to practice reading Level 2. In the heat of the moment, Level 2 is moving WAYYY too fast for me to keep up, simply because I haven't had enough practice with it. Since CDIO was still up a bit, and had a smaller amount of volume (considering my goal of learning L2 better), I got into it with 10 shares at 1.01, and ONLY watched L2 while I was in. Exited at 1.06

I decided to take a look at CDIO, as it was on the watchlist that @TimothySykes sent out to Challenge students. It happened to be spiking when I looked at it (I was early to the party, though), and I got in with 10 shares at 0.80. It ran up to 0.94 and I got scared it might start falling because it slowed down for a quick minute, so I got out with 1.30 profit at 0.93. Ten minutes later it really took off, but I traded scared (which is safe) and still made a nice profit.

I bought BTSC as a sympathy play when bitcoin was getting super hot, but I got in at the wrong time - near the top. I had a few chances to exit at breakeven or for a small loss. I took a bigger loss because I decided to bag hold, thinking it would spike again when bitcoin heated back up. It didn't, and I've held it long enough. Sold for a loss.
