ITEKLong Stock

Went long overnight. Held B/O level of 8 very well into the close. Very slight low volume gap-up premarket. Opened flat and proceeded to panic. I botched my exit execution - got out lower than I wanted/risked. Also failed to enter correct # shares so paid 2 commissions. Should have looked at long term chart better. Clearly a bag holders chart. Not terrible loss. Need to learn to focus on risk management first and foremost.

NAVBShort Stock

Opened down, then spike up near the previous close .85 Set risk there. $.02 of slippage. I felt this consolidating against me. Glad I took it off when I did, I must take action when price actions does not do what I expected. Hit .8141 twice. The second time I should have taken it off. Admitting a trade isn't going to work out is ok. I knew this was holding up, but I decided to let it push up into my risk zone thus increasing my loss. I must react to price action.

Decent trade. I got short risking off of the last big spike up to $1.35, wider risk that I really wanted but I was not sure how much it could really spike give how beaten down the chart is. Tried to add to my position as it spike up a little more but lacked the funds. Could have, should have exited slightly better. Either way I take %10 on my money every time.

SPUShort Stock

Absolutely terrible trade. Got short early, didn't respect my risk level. Didn't take my profit when I had it. Got stubborn. Took a huge loss. Stupid and frustrating. Learning what not to do. Paying the market tuition. I know better than to short the frontside of a move. I know better than to short low float former runners. I deserved to lose this money.

Got short into a big spike that seemed to be induced by fluff news. Also there was resistance from early June in the 2's. Could have waited for a slightly better entry, but there may not have been shares to short. Good trade.

AUPHShort Stock
jtwilliams

Chased this short a little. This stock had a massive crash and then bounced big. I got short after it put in a failed morning spike/double top. I should have exited earlier when it dropped to 2.41. I thought it would break down further. Stuck with it through 2 tests of my entry point which. It dropped to its daily support level of 2.45 and a 71k bidder came in. I knew that a bid of that size would hold it up and I decided to take the little profits I had and move on. Basically a scratch.

Pretty much a scratch. I am happy with my execution. Waited for it to dip to where I saw support. Once that support confirmed I got in. Wish I would have exited sooner. It was up premarket. I should have gotten out then. Oh well. Got the execution right. That is a good thing.

Building confidence trading the long side. I got scared out early for apparently no good reason. Cold have made close to a $1 per share. That is ok. I thought The $5 mark might reject it, so I got out with a profit. Happy about that.

BNSOShort Stock
jtwilliams

Got in short right after the open when the morning spike felt weak using a November 2015 high of 3.25 as risk. Price pulled back immediately after I got in, should have taken my profits and walked away. Waited to get squeezed, got out where I should have been getting in.
