Read over and review. Commissions are the killer of small accounts. Cost on average 8-12 a trade on commissions. componded onto loses it adds up fast. On small accounts you must not over trade and be very selective when entering a trade. Good luck

Don't give up. I'm looking at both trades. UQM need volume to push it back up but it's hard with a medium float stock on low volume. To answer if NAKD was a chase, it was if you bought around 10AM. You need to buy at key breakout levels. The better buys would be at the breakout of 1.70, 1.80 or 1.90 if you missed it. Look at my charts from today for entry points.

I just read your last paragraph. You're still young, so don't give up and just keep studying. You've only made 33 trades! Just come back when you've got some money saved up. And by then you'll have more knowledge, just keep studying if it's your passion

@Chongette32 I bought at 9.40am USA eastern time. I'm not giving up, thanks for advice, I have 1/3left, was just saying to another trader It could be much worse, I can top up my money and paper trade and continue studying. Thanks for the motivating comments.
