Tried to buy a pullback on this low-priced multi-day runner. It was essentially a chase and I got out quickly for a small loss as it didn't bounce how I wanted.

I entered on what I thought was the start of an uptrend after the pre-market ramp failed to break into new highs. It had some higher lows before my entry but did not continue to make them, I averaged down on a dip and got out with a scalp as this wasn't doing anything fast. Lucky I was scared, minutes after I exited at 1:24 it had a big red candle and faded the rest of the day.

Bought the dip here, on the stock up big on investor news. helped cover up my earlier chase entry. Gotta stop the chase and let the entry point reveal itself.

Bought this in the afternoon as it wasn't dying, it appeared to form a double bottom at $2.50 and I got in at 3:25 risking 2.50. I sold out at 3:35 as it had a weak spike due to fear and impatience. I should have taken half profit and respected my risk level as this just briefly dipped through and held after that.

MINMLong Stock

Bought this as it had a small dip but made a higher low than the previous, now starting an uptrend. It was also holding above VWAP and up big on the day. It dipped big but didn't go through my risk level so I was holding on. I set a limit order for $6.71 thinking that would be where it topped if it failed to continue an uptrend. I misjudged the resistance level around 6.75 instead of 7.00. Not the worst outcome as it faded the rest of the day, but good lesson for watching resistance levels.

Was too chicken to buy the morning dip before the breakout, I tried to play the dip buy or pull backs but the initial breakout wasn't strong, and I hadn't waited for consolidation. I got a small bounce, but I didn't sell my last third until it failed to continue up. It eventually consolidated and had a big dip to the morning LOD but bounced strongly off that support. I should have played this more patiently.

Bought this as it looked like it was perking in the afternoon, walked out of the room to attend to something, and came back to the loss. Shame.

Bought the dip on this one, and cut it too early on the bounce, but playing it safer as I'm just starting to take larger positions.

Tried to size up with this trade. I thought I was getting in at a good level, but it was so choppy I took my exit for a small loss just before it bounced up near HOD. Had a 30% up move in 3 minutes, which I didn't expect.

Was swing trading this, and sold as it looked like it was going to curl down. Should have heeded the overall market on the longer time frame, ended up giving back 300$ profits as I held for 2 extra days.
