don't fat finger stuff on your keyboard. it's a good way to lose money. fortunately this was just 20 bucks in fees

I had an order in right as after the market opened, and the stock started to do what I wanted, but then dipped back down. I really thought it should go higher based on the news, but the stock started to turn down and volume faded so I got out to cut losses...missed a big chance to profit, but I stuck to my exit plan. There was no way I could have known that it would be a delayed spike and the downside risk was too large, as it was already up a lot overnight.

Bought this breaking out to new highs, but it didn't move as much as I hoped it would. I jumped ship and lost only my brokerage fees

I traded this pretty much the way I wanted to (made almost 20 cents a share), but this stock was really too expensive for my little account. I needed more shares to make a real profit, but I didn't want to risk more than 20% of my account in my second week of trading. Good to practice getting in and out of trades, but I need to focus on lower priced stocks so I can actually take a position that will yield tangible gains.
