Not the greatest day, not the worst either. Just terrible volume in the market overall, not the greatest trading market anyway imo. I will go over my first trade because even though it was only 100 shares in a $3.50 stock, I had made a mistake...FSAM
FSAM - I got short on this on the pop at $3.52, within the next few seconds I realized I read 'something' implying of a 'buyout' OR something about buying up to $6+ stock purchase....doesn't matter. I had read something that I didn't like suggesting to me to stay away from this stock....in case any kind of buyout. All that matters is I should have remembered the news. The good thing as soon as I realized my error, I took the loss, coverded @ $3.65 - .13 loss on 100 shares, not a big deal, but I realized my error and cut it off. It DID fall to almost $3, but then went into the $4's so I was glad I did the right thing either way.
I'll give my average totals on the rest of trades...
CENX - SS 400 shares avg. @ $6.10, coverd 400 @ $5.99. CENX - Later on long 500 shares @ $6.08...I didn't trust it as it was looking like it wanted to break down. Sold @ $6.11
MORE - SS 100 shares @ $9.36, covered $9.21.
WTW - Bought on pullback to support, 100 shares @ $14.58, sold @ $14.73.
Tough day emotionally. Even though my first trade was a VERY small loss, I felt like I wanted to be up for the day. I wanted to "make" a trade....Not good. I was well aware of my behavior and so I traded small and safe. Good progress.
Squeeked out $29 after commish and fees.
