Took small position trying to learn to identify momentum trading. Came out the gate quick so I waited for a small pullback followed by brief consolidation. With 3.20 as my risk I took my gains at 12% as I continue to work on my self control and not get greedy. Probably my biggest issue as a new trader.

Held an overnight position and wanted to give it time at open. Gapped up 5% and thought it had a strong enough catalyst and history of a run to be patient. Dropped pretty fast and I got out as fast as I could.

Entered A/H on the hype and momentum into close. Intended to hold over night but when I came back to check on it and seeing it come down from the high of 5.88 I wasn't going to leave the remaining 3k+ on the table regardless of which way it goes so I got out. 25% is nothing to stick your nose up at!

Held o/n and it opened into a gap down. Cut losses

Looked to be holding until it wasn't. Got out at my risk.

Thought I'd catch another push. Looked away for a second and it fucked me. I deserve this!

Grabbed the meat of a move on MRIN based on their small deal with google. Good rebound from my dogshit trade this morning

Averaged down on this stock up on Merger. Felt it had one power leg up to even out. Stop loss at .75 but the crack saw my executes got in a touch lower. 3 smart trades can be crushed by one terrible play. That's it for my week.

Tim had a video about buying in when the stock showed strength pre-market right before the open. I was watching INPX on news and this pattern showed itself but I was hesitant. It spiked immediately, I only bought 500 for education purposes. Went to 5 back down to 4.65. Sold for small gain and went back to work. Holding would have seen it spike 20% more but I learned a pattern nonetheless

Bought yesterday after release of the research news hoping for some legs into the morning as has been the case historically. Goal was a small 4-5%. Been a slow morning with very little movement. Didn't want to be locked in heading into open as the weed sector has not been strong the last couple months. Not worth the risk.
