Testing whats working for me.
I never had a successful long, so Im planning to focus only on the short side. I will paper trade for around 2 more months before adding more money into my account.
Watched T. Grittani's dvd 4-5 times already (the shorting part) and im gaining confidence.
Yesterday I missed all trades of MGT but was too scared to touch it, today covered way too early, but I saw 0.40 profit per share and decided to lock all. My plan was to cover 3/4 or 2/4 of my size and hold the rest. Its already 2.40, but its still very high from where it began, so I may have one more short later.
$KOOL is trading around 40k daily, and today hit 200k volume, looked over extended to me and shorted just 200 shares, didnt had the best cover but its still holding 2.80s so im happy to be out. Volume is rising and may reshort later.
$TNXP very poor cover, although I started with the plan to cover the larger part and hold the rest for better price, I did cover on the first spike, its fading down to 3.10s already
$PRGN looks too scary for me to hold. Was thinking it will fail to hold the 1.40, but looks like it is holding very strong and covered my second short very fast.
Need to add time stamps of open and cover so I can see it in the future.

after 3months of paper trading with some awsome results i moved to real money and for the 1st month i sucked just because i was too scared! try to control ur fear! trade with an amount that u would mind loosing! it is only money after all! its the learning that matters!
90% of trading is all mental...
Ive just updated my excel to calculate the only shortable stocks as well, as im currently using ST. Trying to make it as real as possible.
Smart Idea. I stopped completely when I lost mine. Mental, emotions are trade destroyers.
