SYMXLong Stock

I bought this after the market close on a decent run up and a with the belief that it would breakout over its high resistance @ $2.10. It hit $2.12 after hours and message boards confirmed the popularity of a long position in this one. In the morning the stock showed it was holding its highs premarket, but right at the open it dropped and traded just above its previous resistance (now support) @ %1.80. I was stopped out later at $1.76 (Stop @ $1.70 Limit @ $1.75

GEVOLong Stock

Bought on what was high volume and a breakout. Poorly considered and without due diligence. I wanted to force a trade after having made over 500 on the previous day. I used Schwab Mobile and had never done it. I had trouble with the system and was then unable to place a STOP LIMIT order which really screwed me. I needed to know what I was going to do ahead of time and understand all the possibilities

I executed this perfectly as far as im concerned. I couldve bought sooner on the breakout, but I STILL bought on the breakout. I trailed my stops to the most recent low and it worked out perfectly and allowed me to make much more in profit. I could learn to CALL THE TOP, to better predict a momentum change, Otherwise I am very satisfied, buying on breakouts minimizes drawdowns since I am buying above a major MAJOR resistance level, now becoming support. Volume was key.

ICLDLong Stock

This trade went perfectly as far as I'm concerned. I made back my loss earlier that day and then some. Luckily i learned a little better where to place my stops and if I recall correctly I rode the afternoon run up to a point of resistance and got out at the perfect time. Today 05/05/15 ICLD had its first down day so I'm glad to be out.

I trusted my stop but may have been better off putting a little more thought into it. I bought on a breakout and probably should've taken a smaller position and/or placed my stop at the most recent low. I don't believe I did

STOYLong Stock

Not only did I not do proper research, again I times my entry so poorly. Price moved against me from the very beginning and I wanted enough room for it to come back up. I averaged down and took a larger position and ended up getting stopped out quickly. REMEMBER*** Protect at no more than 5% portfolio per day and cut losses quickly***

TLPYLong Stock

Poor planning. I wanted to trade so i forced a trade. I was looking at another stock to short but Etrade doesn't allow shorting of penny stocks so I went long a newsletter pump I saw in the morning. I did minimal research and paid the price for it. I also didn't time my entry worth a shit. REMEMBER*** making new highs, making new lows, spike of volume, trade 1-10% of trading vol

QQQLong Stock
tcawkins1

Wanted a relatively safe and reliable place to park my capital while I was learning what to actually invest in to make real money. I got tired of the minimal gains and up and down price action that got me nowhere and got out at what was near the highest point since I sold

PWDYLong Stock
tcawkins1

Took far too large of a position, well over 10% of the overall volume. I placed a market order at my profit target instead of a limit order and ended up losing out on an approximately 60% potential gain.

BLDRShort Stock
tcawkins1

Wanted to try my first short. I did't really know how shorting on a margin account worked and it added to the nerve factor. I saw massive price increases recently and figured they couldn't be sustained. It didn't go the way I had hoped and I decided to get out cutting my losses perfectly. To this day I would still be holding a relatively weak investment that stood still.
