Perfect controlled loss. Made a nice little flag on my 1 minute chart. I entered on the breakout. It turned out to be a fakeout. I had a tight trailstop on this. Really going to focus on keeping losses tight. I need to let the winners develop a little more.

Got in when it broke the 13 EMA. Volume was coming up nicely. As soon as the Level 2 started coming down off 1.68 I exited. I knew I was already over 10%. I'm not greedy. Done for the day. I'll study while at work and start looking for other potential plays.

This is my second trade using Trail Stops. It's such a great way to stop from taking a loss. I also need to learn to give the market a few more minutes before executing a trade. Had I waited I could have taken a piece of the move $BIOC made after it bottomed at $1.57. That was the only other stock I was watching at the open.

Nothing like a little quickie. I was waiting for either CLSN or BCEI to setup. BCEI actually did breakout as I expected. Watching videos everyday and learning this is actually pretty fulfilling. When you draw lines on your charts for S / R and the stock moves the way you think it will................That's pretty cool.

Didn't buy into the PM runup. Watched it fade all morning. I was watching all day. Once it broke out of the consolidation pattern I was interested. I tried buying at .91 but tried to buy too many shares for my account balance. I don't care that I only made 5% on this. My theory was correct.

Spotted this in the AH trading yesterday. Put it on my list this morning. I scored this a 74. Nothing else really appealed to me. Once it bounced off of $2.77 I was interested. I had 5, 10, and 15% gains written down. Once it made that big candle to $3.39 I sold. This feels perfect to me. I feel like I got this right.

Got everything wrong on this one. There was nothing that I really wanted to trade yesterday. I should have sat out. This moved and I bit. I missed the quick exit because I was on the phone. Sat in this hunk of shit all day yesterday. Mistake 2. Not selling this in the PM for a decent little profit. Terrible trade.

I missed this one because I allowed myself to get stuck in the quicksand of stocks (BLPH). I'm pissed because I was right but missed my entry because I was getting out of another position. Every time I hold more then a few minutes, I lose. I'm not allowing that anymore. I could have made a quick 10-11% on this in 3 minutes.

Hunk of crap. This was such a dumb trade on my part and I should have gotten out quicker. I missed the next trade because of this disaster.

1st trade of the new year. Waited on the second 5 minute candle to close. Big strong close above the first 5 minute candle and higher then the premarket price. I entered at that point. I exited too quickly at 6.19. As of this post I've left 1.72 a share on the table. I need to learn to scale out on these. It's also tough when you're trading a small account. I have to trade scared by necessity.
