wow man that was intense. Im glad you're open about your loses. I'm not even trading yet and I'm having trouble managing my emotions so I don't go run and start trading because i think I've learned enough.
Yeah, FOMO, being over eager to trade, those are some of the things I've had to deal with also just paper trading. Mortimer Duke, LOL, that's funny.
i started studying the markets january 20th of this year.. 2017.. since then i personally seen a handfull of these huge spikes that you spoke of, keep in mind i dont watch the market everyday,so point is , i learned that there will always be a good play around the corner.

We are all been there. You are looking at it all wrong. "Remember what you said 10 minutes later, it hit 4.4. I changed the stop to 4.10. 10 minutes later, the stock dropped to 4.1 (one tick), and the stock sold. $46 profit. I was overjoyed" . You had a trade plan and you stuck to it. If you ignored your plan and the stock dropped .50 cents instead of up you will fill even worse. Stick to your plan and continue to hit singles and don't aim to hit home runs. You will build your account slower
but you will feel more accomplished.
I think You played it Okey still - You stucked to your plan an Thats Perfect !
how did you find out about the stock. I'm having problems finding good stocks.

@leotheartist just became a fully transparent trader today!

$6.10, not signifincant in my mind
Hey bob, where do you find news on stocks? I use feedly and seeking alpha, but it seem like I'm still missing out on good news..
Too many news outlets to list.
Nice calls on OMER and NK! They were on my list as well!
