I bought at the close on the sixth as a first green day, high volume, strong close, and earnings news that spiked the stock. However, I was buying into a wall at $6.50. I sold the following morning after some pain as it came back up for a loss of $0.17/share. In hind sight I should have paid more attention to my support and resistance levels and will from now on draw the bloody lines on the chart rather than just saying, yeah it's about here. Pictures are good, draw the damn lines!

First green day w/trap. I bought this in the afternoon believing that it was a strong close until I watch one of Tim's videos with this pattern in it. Soon realized I was trapped and exited first thing in the AM. It did eventually come back to close green on the day but that would have been a foolish hold and high risk. Rule #1, cut losses quickly.

I chased this stock really without knowing it. I would have know it if I didn't let me emotions or FOMO control my trade. It was a strong closing stock and I was looking for an AM spike. I was buying it near the close when it was making a NHOD. There was no catalyst and the chart sucks so there really was no reason to be in this trade. Stock had a small AM Panic and I cut losses quickly.

Risk @ $2.68 Potential Reward $2.05 but am hoping for a nice AM spike due to the news. Exit: I exited the stock when it didn't spike like I expected. Bought on supreme court news ruling about sports gambling.

I sold $PLUG this morning at 9:35 EST @ $2.195 with a large wall of sellers at $2.20 for a small profit. The trade did meet my goals; however, I need to focus on high reward trades While this was a well planed and executed trade it will not grow my small account fast enough to mater. With that said the process should be the same with greater reward potential.

Entry comments: I went long this stock because I though it is an earnings winner with high volume and a strong close into the end of the trading day. Earnings were reported 5/8/18 and the resulting price action was red. Today however, the price action was green on large volume with an associated large price action breaking a multi month key level. My goal is to sell into an AM spike back to the highs and hopefully forwards resistance at $6.65 for $0.20 to $0.30 cents per share.

Exit comments: This was a great trade! Though I didn’t make much I traded the plan and profited. In addition my theses was correct even though I exited the trade way to soon. That is mainly due to my lack of experience with trading and reading level II data. The stock reached $6.48 and a few bigger buyers came in at $6.49 so I exited protecting my profits. The time for a proper exit was at $6.69 where there was some topping action but I played it safe. Overall I am very happy with the trade.

I bought this earnings winner on a technical break out and a strong close but neglected to see the longer term resistance @ $1.73ish until later in the evening. On the eighth when the stock couldn't move through it I exited for minimal losses.

This was just such a crappy trade. I got scared out because it wasn't moving as fast as I would have liked. Good or bad I was on the right track as it posted decent gains.

Meh

Entry comments: Bought this at around 3PM EST broke resistance at $7 and seems to be holding. First green day, earnings winner, and above average volume. Looking for it to re-test $7.30 tomorrow. If $7.30 breaks $7.50 is possible though earnings winners don't seem to be doing well.

Exit comments: I will not know until tomorrow if I screwed up this trade or not but right now I feel like I did. This was a first green day with high volume and a positive earnings report. In my benefit the stock market tanked today down over 400 points and earnings winners are not the strongest pattern right now. However; the stock briefly hit 6.97 and I sold fearing that after breaking $7.00 it would continue down.
