TBIO This was my FIRST attempt. I have discovered many issues with myself! I got in at 10 AM $1.23. (That was good) I rode it all the way (thinking I should get out at $1.40 etc.) I was still in when it started falling. Tried to get out at $1.59. (Didn’t try hard enough) Should have got out! BUT I fell for the fact that it may go up. It went down so I did not want to give up on it (emotion) I hung in there till it was at a loss for me. (Small investment of 100 shares) Then of course, I did not want a loss in my first attempt so, I am still holding to see what happened on Tuesday.
I identified all the weaknesses I was warned about: Emotion, involvement, frustration, addiction, etc. I ignored my mantra I have adopted. “In and out quickly to increase bottom line.”
The question I have for today: I can see the Post market trading, Is it possible to make trades after market? On Etrade or other software) can orders be made to sell ( or buy) at a certain $ in the market?
Yea! I enjoy trying and learning then smiling at my shortcomings! I hope you can smile also! Thanks for the info you all share! I am learning!
TBIO First attempt... Still holding but analyzing...
Thank you Mealtickettt for sharing.
Thank you Tim S for the videos!
I am starting out as well. I think it is OK to start with a loss and learn from it rather than hold on to the idea of a 'perfect start' to your investing efforts. Good luck with your 1st trade on Monday!
to answer your question, yes you can on etrade, you just have to call them and set it up. there fees for trading after hours and premarket. call them and set it up.
