It's very frustrating when you are limited to just 3 day trades. I watched it climb all the way to $6.00 and drop back to below where I bought it at pre-market which I thought was a great deal. I was hoping the good earnings would carry through to Monday, but nothing. I am just getting more and more confused or just bad luck?. Had a little epiphany to only trade stocks when I have day trades.....

It had spiked the day prior to a contract agreement. I was hoping for the spike to follow on the next day, but nothing besides crickets. Very low volume that day.

What do you know! TDameritrade had shares to short! First time shorting, so it was a good learning experience. Shorted this on the day high as I saw some resistance, but it ended up breaking resistance and kept on going, so ended up cutting losses at $3 mark. Getting better at cutting losses, but still room for improvement!

Bought this on good company news yesterday at the end of market close. This time waited until until it was 5-10 minutes before market close (HURRAY! Learning from mistakes). Sold it early in the morning when it couldn't break out 1.47 resistance point. (HURRAY, getting out when things don't go according to plan) Not too much profit, but this was a very good trade, given how I handled it.

This was a big winner! Bought it yesterday as it broke out $2.00 threshold on good news. Was telling myself to hold it to the market open and let it ride, but sold it too early as soon as I saw some pullback.... Otherwise would have been a $300+ day. Ohh well, profits are profits. Might be looking to get in again at the end of the day.

This was a total reckless and emotional trade. In order to recoup losses, I ended up trying to day trade this stock. Shouldn't be trading emotionally with your $$. Lesson Learned. If you're trying to dip buy, wait until the set-up is there. It would at least have been profitable if I waited it to hit support (yesterday's high) and bounce. But then again, maybe I wouldn't have caught this ugly habit if I was successful. You live and you learn!

Bought this on good company news and was expecting a nice spike in the morning. This didn't go according to plan, and didn't get the spike I hoped. Mistake #1 was taking x2 the size I usually take on overnight trades. Mistake #2 Was not selling when I didn't see the anticipated spike Mistake #3 was day trading MNKD (an active stock of the day) while having that position open.

Dip bought this stock as it was hot. Made a nice 57$ in a few minutes.

Bought this about an hour before the market close (Yes... should be done only a few minutes before market) It held the 3.00 mark, so it was a good position for a technical breakout. Oil was up for the day, it played out well.

This was a contract winner and was hitting new HOD on April 11th. Entry mistake was actually buying on the HOD, and about an hour before market close. Thinking about it now, it was a speculative position, as I was hoping for spike and volume increase. Didn't happen, so I ended up selling. Note: Buy only when the market is just about to close 5-10 minutes (When you don't have day trades)
