Dumbest trade of my career. After PGRN spiked big in the morning it was hanging around the low 1s as i decided to get in, thinking i was already chasing a good bit. Got scared when it came down to 1.11 (completely disregarding my mental stop at 1.05). This $10 loss should have been a 500+ win.

I was too early to short this as it is now in the 1.90s. I wanted to get in around the 2.20s short and it just wasn't doing anything that i wanted so i just got out with loss of commissions.

Got anxious when volume was fading and tried to catch the top of the fall at 5.98, only to get squeezed out right after. My loss could have been worse, but I cut losses. Trying to forget about my last two trades and get back on the right track.

Biggest loss all due to a mistake regarding limit orders. Had a limit to catch a breakout of .32 at .36 and Etrade filled my order at the top of .32. Had to cut losses quickly. Lesson learned.

Shorted this stock after a pullback from a morning spike that failed to reach the morning high. Pretty good for my first short ever. Covered almost perfect right before support at 1.30. Nice patience, trying to keep up the green days.

Patience is key, stock is now at 2.40 after 7days. & by patience i need more knowledge of the stock/play that i am getting into. Did not have enough research on this stock and felt uncomfortable after going down 10cents since my buy. Lesson from this play- the more knowledge of a stock/play will increase confidence during trade.

Took my own advice from my last trade and I brought my mental stop limit down to 10-15cents, I had a feeling that after the first bounce to the low 3's i could catch a dip and I did just that. If I'm not mistaken it topped out around 3.14 so I got out just on time. Small gain, but also biggest gain so far. On to the next play.

Bought this stock on Friday at about 10:30am after it broke .77 which was resistance right at the open. I am going to start making my mental stop limit loss at roughly .10-.15 cents, it dropped to about .64 cents after a fake out breakout at .82 and did nothing but climb from there on out. It is now at 1.95 at the close of Monday. Cant say its a terrible thing that I cut losses too quickly, but I do need to work on my patience once I enter a stock. Lesson learned.

Broke resistance and I thought it could be a decent breakout, 2.71 came and went so fast I didn't have time to get out in the 2.60s for a small gain.. Unfortunate. Cut losses for the day, although if I would have held I would probably be up right now seeing it hit 2.90 today. That would have been too risky though because it went all the way down to 2.00 on Tuesday. I'm fine with commissions and a $1.04 loss.

Had a limit order for 2.82 and got filled at 2.80.. Thanks Etrade but no thanks, reason being because it topped out right about 2.81 and pulled back because of past resistance. Cut losses quickly.
