Strange day today.  I was bored waiting to get into my usual trade of $UVXY and I got this trade alert on twitter from daytradewarrior.  I blindly followed the trade and lost 121.  I usually never like to just follow a trade alert.  I have learned enough by now to trade my own ideas.  Anyways, the guy called a trade yesterday that gained 4 dollars in just about half an hour so I had him on watch and figured I try it out.  Should have known better.  Bad stop loss as well.  Then, I was up total for the day and just about to close out my last 1/3 (500 shares) of UVXY and news hit that interest rates wouldn't be rising anytime soon.  Bam, the SPY shoots up incredibly strong, UVXY shoots down and I just froze for a second in disbelief.  I wasn't watching news alerts (another mistake) and had no idea what caused the spike.  I literally left my chart screen for a second to see news feeds and saw the fed announcement.  I didn't want to sell into the panic so I waited to see what would happen.  Price rebounded a decent amount but I didn't sell.  Then it dropped again and that time it spooked me out.  I sold near the bottom.  I could have walked away with an extra 200 but "could haves" dont help the bank account.  Overall I am happy that I managed to keep losses small.  I wish it would have worked out differently but overall for a down day I am ok with the results.  I wouldn't really change anything except following that dumb twitter tip trade.  Tomorrow same as usual.  Looking to trade/scalp UVXY!
