Although the volume can be considered low, it spiked in volume on Thursday and lowered on Friday (still had more volume than normal though). Would have bought at soon as .013 resistance was broken and held over weekend. Contract Winner + Technical Breakout.

cant really call this a profit until its sold... it would be really messed up if its just my own purchase that brought it up, not likely tho

Take a break, look at your trades, understand them what did u do wrong and get back stronger.

I spent quite a bit of time studying before I did my first trade (which I totally fucked up), but no amount of studying could prepare me for the onslaught of emotions that comes with trading. I feel ya dude, and admire you for being a man and owning what you did. I was in the chat room when it all happened and I could feel your pain right then. Hang in there bud.

@my_monay hey man, i saw your frustrated comments you wrote in the chat today. I looked over some of your recent trades, and one thing stood out right away to me. i saw many losses over 10%, and even some over the 20% area. the number 1 rule in trading is to cut your losses quickly. never trade on hope. cut your losses quickly, and if you still believe in your initial read of the stock, you can always get back in later at a different price. cut your losses more quickly and that should help you a lot. try to keep your average loss below 5%. that will help you protect your money. don't forget, protecting your money and not losing it is almost MORE important then how much money you are making. good luck! i'll try to be of assistance, and i'm sure there are many other people in the chat who are far more successful than me (like michael goode, ask him a question in chat through private message and he'll help you) who are willing to help

also, maybe try paper trading for awhile until you refine your strategy, that way while you're learning, you won't actually lose any real money
