Purchased this runner seeking a short rise. It did rise about 10 cents, and I didn't sell. I held through the drop until it rose to my level and exited.

I entered a chart that I thought had potential to run. The volume was too low. It sat below my entry point for most of the day. It came back once and I didn't sell. It came close again, and I sold. Then it promptly spiked to 2.7 before come down again and spiking again to close above 2.80. Lesson: Stay away from low volume and low volatility stocks. Also buy early in the morning for theme trades.

This stock appeared to be fading end of day. I sold short over night. It dipped the next morning, and I couldn't get executed. I up'd the price three times before finally getting an execution. This was a risky place to short. It is always better to short near the high of the day. It sounds simple, but I hadn't developed confidence to do this at this point.

Recognizing my lack of patience from before, I attempted to re-enter this stock on a dip. However, I still did not have patience and exited too quickly.

This stock spiked in the morning on revenue projections. I purchased expecting it to rise. I sold when it dipped briefly. This was an example of lack of patience.

This recent earnings winner had a good close the prior day. I entered late in the trade and didn't see the price action I wanted. I exited for a small loss. This could've been improved with an early entry as I missed the main move of the day.

I traded this the prior day, and it seemed to have resistance around 1.80. I shorted. There was no quick drop so I exited. It faded throughout the day to 1.70. Then panicked the following day down to 1.60. The idea was correct, but I didn't have the proper patience.

News of an acquisition closing caused a gap up. It was too much. I thought it would sustain a breakout above 2 and retest the pre-market highs. It was just a fake out. I was faked. It started dropping, and I panicked out at the bottom. Patience would've allowed this to retest the 2 level and could've minimized the loss. I was in the wrong stock this day.

This earnings winner was up significantly pre-market. I chose to short on the back side of the move. I exited for a profit. Taking profits proved smart. It bounced back to my initial 9.25 entry just before closing at 9.23.

Former runner had a huge spike pre market. I attempted a dip buy, but did not wait for a confirmed base. It kept falling a little and I wasn't sure when it would stop. I exited. No true plan.
