Timothy Sykes and other traders on here say if you don't have a plan then you don't trade and that is how I feel today about my missed opportunity on $HART. I studied this stock last night...did my due diligence and according to my notes it was going to increase I just didn't know by how much but at least 20%.

So I watched it all morning run up from the $2.20 open to $2.90 at around 8am PST when I had to leave for work.  My gut told me to get in at $2.40 because I saw the run occurring...BUT...I didn't have my risk vs. reward set in my head so I froze.  I was even good to the point of watching it run up to the morning high of $2.50 then come back down to $2.40 on the dip (2nd opportunity to buy and confirmation when it held). but I didn't buy because I didn't' have set in my head when I would exit if it went south.

Gosh darn it I am upset with myself for doing all the research and not finalizing the plan with my in and out price. If you are reading this...always have a in and out target price or you will miss what you worked for and watch it run or fall right in front of your face. And my trade would have been right in the meat of the move...in and out with a $0.50 profit on 500 shares. Small but I am working on building my account.
