So today, tuesday 01-05-2021.
I kept my resolution of not do any sheep trading.
I did 3 trades today.
I made them with my cash account, the other account which is a margin account, won't give me any trades until tomorrow, due PDT rule.
But that's fine, being trading fine, alternating with each account.
My goal is not to make many trades, but actually make less trades.
I want to make more precision trades, analyze a bit more every indicator that I can.
For example, as I said, today I traded three tickers. I got the heads up, among many others top gainers of the day, and actually I did analyze some of the tickers, and came to the conclussion that those were the best trades to make.
The pattern I'm playin, is the dip buy, I believe is the easiest for me to remember, and to practice.
First, I saw $SYN, it was a morning spiker. The day before it closed at $.50; this morning it spiked to $1.00, so it was an abvious spiker, it inmediatley went up to $1.37; then the dipped started, I waited a little, so I saw an opprtunity to get in at 10:33 am @1.10, bought 500 shares; sold them for $1.25 at 10:53 am.
I locked a small profit of $75.00; but left a lot of meat on the table.
I watched charts of various time frames, I also saw the level 2, and time and sales tape; those were mostly the indicators I used to make the trade
This stock went all the up to $1.64 by 11:46 am; but the cause that I went out of the position was that I wasn´t very sure of the variables at play, and also, it seemed that there was a hidden seller at the 1.25, trayng to dump a bunch of stock, so I thought that if that seller colud get in and make the dump, the price would probably unwind beyond my entry price, so I got out.
It eventually did unwind, but it did some time later that trading day. I belive it was a good lesson.
The second trade I made was with ticker $DFFN, it was a kinda midday runner, it really had been slowly perking throuhout the morning, it opened at $.88; but by 11:52 I saw it spiked .10 in one minute, so I saw it, also saw some volume coming into the play, and waited a few minutes for it to drop, expecting a rebound.
It did dropped, and by 12.25 I went in with 500 shares @ $1.02, I waited and saw it tanked, it didn´t perk, but it always held at or above VWAP, so I saw pottential, and kept waiting, by 13:28, the price got to a little above where I enter, it was at $1.05; but I still believed it could perk a little more, since it was holding its VWAP pretty convincingly; but by 13.46 a slight dump came, and the price suddenly dropped a little to 1.03; so I still waited a little, but at 1:59 came a bigger dump, and the price dropped to 1.01, but still waited, and ten minutes later it dropped below the 1.00 key level, so I tried to get out fast, but the fastes I could was at .975.
So in that trade I had a small loss of $22.50.
The third and last trade of the day was in the last hour, I saw a good set up was forming with the ticker $NAKD, so at 14:53 I went in with 1500 shares @ .386; even though it went up to $.4661, the chart began to get a little choppy, so I got out at 15:14 at $.4279.
Made about $68.00 bucks, on that last trade.
I'm happy with todays endeavor, I will rest, it has been a long day.
Keep up the good education. Become a self sufficient, consistent proftable trader. That´s my ultimate goal.
I know it will take time, but I am taking one step at a time; one trade at a tim, and one page or one video at a time.
Take it easy, is lifetime endeavor.
