Attempted to play a 09.45 D&R. Entered just before the PM HOD with the rationale it may spike quickly. At one point I was $5 up so could have taken a small win but based on volume I thought I could make at least $15. Started to fade and my plan was to stop at $1.30 but the candles suggested it may crash IMO. Dropped to $1.25 at one point, although it did rise to $1.58. Yes, this is a loss, but its also a lesson. I stuck to my plan!

Played a dip and rip, set my levels but it just wouldn't break. Gave the trade room to breath but I got chopped around. Once the price dropped below VWAP, I was out. Stuck to my plan and remained calm throughout. Might have been a red trade but its not a loss, its a lesson.

After no live trading for while, I saw HUSA attempting a multi day break out. Took a small position with risk on 5.70. Looked liked it was stalling so I took a single, only to see the ticker kick on to 6.50. Win is a win!

Having not traded cash for a while I wanted to test my IBK account, small size, and AGRI seemed the perfect candidate. Looked like it was about to break $3 so took a small position. Bounced off 3 and started to breakdown so cut losses quickly.

Bought a fake out again!! FFS! Using stop limit orders in IB is pretty crap!! I had to manually stop again - AAAGGHHH!! Getting it wrong I can handle, not using tools properly is p155ing me off! TBH I rushed my entry too.

Pre emptied the break out but should have held a bit longer. Lunch time HOD break!

Closing strong on Friday so I anticipated it would continue into this week. Wrong again, stop loss triggered - AGAIN!!!

Played a dip and rip and was briefly in profit by about $9. I need to start taking singles! I'm also realising having a hard stop may not be working for me.

Bought what looked like a break out around 09.30. Tested a hard stop on IB but it was too tight. Another lesson!!!!

I held XELA overnight, not realising my stop got cancelled at the close. My theory was XELA would continue to rise if it broke 0.70, but my work schedule meant I couldn't monitor the trade, and didn't know how to re add my stop. I cut took a loss to be safe only to return and find out my stop wouldn't have been breached, instead bounced almost where I cut and cruise through 0.7, and is currently at 0.87. Theory was correct, execution was poor.
