After hours runner that I should have had my eyes, but I was trading XGPT plays. I wanted to lock in a single and demonstrate discipline. This was a good trade, but my gains are not bigger than my losses at this point.

XGPT play that hit at the close and didn't really go anywhere but down and stopped out. The XGPT trade plans' targets are too high and the stops are too low for me. I need to modify the plan and make my own. More lessons learned.

XGPT play that hit near market close, went up to 1.83, and I did not lock in profits. It squeezed right after market close, and I did not act quickly enough. This was a clear case of turning a winner into a loser. I also used Interactive Brokers which I am getting used to, but ultimately, I kept it too long and did not lock in profits.

XGPT play that never really spiked in AH; no real volume but squeaked out with a small gain. I realized that this was a Tim Sykes weekend play so I should not have sold it. This was a mistake, but I will learn from it.

AH spiker that fell below VWAP and was creeping up; I went in when there was some volume and was looking for bounce play and squeeze at close. Had a plan of risking .12 and gaining about .20. This was a well-executed single with a nice squeeze. Went absolutely supernova up to 11 the next day. Kept grinding up and squeezed in AH. This would have been an excellent overnight hold, but I came away with a single.

IRIS play with potential upside of 875.40. Keep risk at 5% and lock in gains if in a downtrend. Sold by accident when putting in a stop loss. I put in a limit order by mistake and sold.

IRIS play with potential upside of 875.40. Keep risk at 5% and lock in gains if in a downtrend. Stopped out at 5% but stock rebounded a bit after. Oh well. It's important to keep my risk at 5%.

Tim Sykes alert; went up to 7.95 in AH; I sold in pre-market. I'm glad I did because the stock faded at open and all day. Stock wound up running up all week starting the next day. Tim was early on this one. I will be sure to follow up on Tim's weekend alert stocks to see if I can get more of a move in the following days.

IRIS play with potential upside of 759.55. Keep risk at 5% and lock in gains if in a downtrend. I put in a trailing stop, but I need to put a hard stop in first until I have some gains. The trailing stop was too conservative and should not be used unless I have at least 5% gains. Too bad but lesson learned.

Entry comments: IRIS play with potential upside of 345.63. Keep risk at 5% and lock in gains if in a downtrend.

Exit comments: This was a mistake. I put in a 5% trailing stop order, but I should have put in a hard stop at 5%. What happened was the stock went up and then I stopped out on the pullback, which was higher than the 5% below my buy price. From now on, I will put in the stop, and once the stock increases to a certain point, I will put in the trailing stop. Lesson learned - this was too conservative, and I lost out on a gaining stock
