OESXLong Stock

Bought on the dip after the breakout at $1.20 on news of a $45.5 mln contract. Bought a few minutes before Tim Sykes. He got in a $0.02 better than me. Decided on my position based on the catalyst, increased volume, 2/3 pullback level and overnight possibilities. Risking just below the breakout level if wrong and looking for a breakout above todays high of $1.38 if right. $0.20 is the goal. Didn’t get out fast enough on the failed morning spike. I knew there was major resistance. Loan expensive

Entered based on soley the price action. Felt as though it was looking toppy with the gap down, failure to hold green and then break back out. In reality this was a really stupid trade. I entered quickly but there were a number of PRs issued this morning. Many of them were positive and about the core of the business. Also the stock has no price range so no point watching a stock thats going to barely move at all. Got out before the SL because of these points.

INSYLong Stock

Bought on the dip from the premarket highs. Looking for it to go to the whole number $17. Getting out if it makes a NLOD. After the buy it looked more like a short due to the large red candle preceded by small low volume candles The stock made a NLOD and I got out within the minute as it was a little choppy. The flag I bought was a bear flag. I saw this after my buy but decided to wait to see. The high volume breakdown of the flag and the NLOD confirmed that I was wrong.

Entered on the afternoon pullback to the breakout level. Stock appeared to be hold the $1.34 breakout level. Only entered a half position since there is a clear down trend on the charts. Looking for a quick pop within the first 1-5 minutes of the morning. Considered getting out o/n but it held up. Maybe I should have added to my position. Stock bad a built up bid side in the first 5 minutes of the open but couldn't spike. SS is that this stock is a chat room pump.

Entered on the breakout of the flag after the morning spike. The stock keeps taking out the sellers leading me to believe that its a better long than short despite the markets dropping. Watched for a little while as it continued sideways. Realized that it was not a breakout from the flag pattern as the volume wasn’t there. Also forgot to note the time as 5 minutes to 10am, a no trade zone. Stock made a quick panic past my stop loss. I could have waited a bit longer to cover but got out just bel

LBIXLong Stock

Entered a trade after consolidation of the breakout. I mainly entered because Tim had already entered a while back and my entry was only $0.05 above his. The stock held it’s gains into the close but is not really moving much after hours. Looking for an AM spike to sell into for at least my goal. I need to pay attention to the market and if it’s gapping down get out ASAP. No gap up but market were green though barley.

SYNCLong Stock

Entry comments: Entered a trade after a long thought process. Tim had entered about 30 or so minutes ago on the breakout above multiday resistance. I waited for the pull back and got an entry a few cents above his. I wasn’t going to enter the trade initially because the afternoon volume was weak despite the strong AM. Decided to go for the overnight hold since it’s a recent contract winner. Also the stock was holding an up trend all day so figured it was worth the risk.

Exit comments: The stock gapped up a little in premarket. The overall market was looking strong so rather than sell for half my goal premarket decided to wait to so the open. The stock tanked immediately at the open. I watch my profits disappear to a loss. Basically got out at the bottom of the panic. Could have gotten out for a profit had I been ready at the open or for breakeven had I waited for the bounce. I wasn’t sure that the panic would stop so I just got out.

GEVOLong Stock

Entry comments: Entered a trade quickly as the stock broke out to a new high in the first couple minutes of the day. Watched it stall out at $0.60 and come back. Had the opportunity to get out for a small profits but decided to wait to see.

Exit comments: Ended up sell my shares at double my stop loss. This ended up being a good exit as the stock continued down further. I slept in today and as a result hadn’t done proper research. Had I done proper research I would have seen the resistance at $.57 on the stock probably not gotten in. I reality this is a live and learn situation. I tried a strategy that I want to get good at but that is also very risky. It’s difficult to pick the right stock for the morning spike especially when the market has had

EBIOLong Stock

Entry Comments: EBIO had been on my watchlist for a while without any trades. Took it off as volume had dropped off completely after the breakout from the wedge pattern. Thought it might make a better short but didn't want to short it after a breakout. Saw it on the IB scan for BG’s 400k and decided to have a look. Right away I saw the strength and the possibility of the breakout to a NHOD. Made TONS of mistakes on this trade. Chased a bit to $1.545 when I should have waited for the pullback.

Entered a Forex position to convert my CAD into USD so I could trade without incurring interest charges from IB. Realized the loss on my money since the USD.CAD keeps dropping. Probably sold at the bottom, way to go.
