I was able to spot this stock at the pre-market and double checked with Finviz and what was going on in Yahoo finance. I got a pretty good idea of what was going on so I knew this was going to be a play. However, upon starting, I saw that it quickly "met its demise" so I tried to exercise cutting loses quickly and it pulled out. I was checking out other stocks and when I came back for this one, I saw that it had spiked like crazy. I tried chasing it just to see what would happen (never chase a stock) and saw it quickly slowed down. I definitely missed a plenty of opportunities on this one due to not knowing what the hell was going on. I hope to come back one day and laugh at my mistakes.
I was not paying attention to this one at all, but I saw my boi Dan from Twitter make like $1.2k on this one right at the start. That is how I actually thought RKDA was going to start, but it did not. Maybe the news had not spread that quick? I seriously have no idea how these guys know when to enter the trade. It seems like they recognize a pattern and from so much practice, they know when to go in. Either way that is very impressive.
Another one that I missed at the start. I made like 4 bucks on this one. My account is the size of $530 since I am trying to make my paper trading account as realistic as possible. I think I then lost like another 2-3 bucks when I went in again. Like I said, I have no idea what is going on even though I saw all the DVDs with that came with PennyStocking Silver and read Sykes' book. I need to get more experience and watch live trades before I start developing bad habits.
Overall I think I have the right tools to start making some gains in the future. It's is only .a matter of time before I get the hang of it.
