Trades 14/01/14

Lessons:

• ALWAYS GET OUT WHEN THE STOCK YOU'RE SHORTING IS BOTTOMING AND GRINDING
• YOU CAN ALWAYS GET BACK IN - BETTER ENTRY EVEN
• DONT BUY BASED ON NEWS ALERTS, TWEETS OR ANY SOURCE OTHER THAN TRADES INITIATED BY YOU

Upset with how I played $MNOV - so "comfortable" riding a loss (4.11 to 4.5) yet so impatient to take a gain (covered way too early). Also annoyed by hesitating and not pulling the trigger when I knew I should have on a $MONV 3.80s pop; made up for it by pulling the trigger on the 3.65 pop.
On the other hand glad I sold all my pot stocks at the open and greed didn't take over as they'd quickly turn to losses otherwise;
Looks like $2000 - $2100 gains after comms today.

$MNOV short 4.10 - traded it awfully; hadnt covered when it was bottoming and clearing grinding; managed to get out flat with patience, was down $400 unrealiased at one point, and because i was so concerned with breaking even i then missed the flush i was waiting for
$MNOV again on bounce 4.05 avg trying to catch the next flush - got it +$240
$AVTC 3.90 out 3.8-3.85 +$145 got out when pots were bouncing, rational was $MDBX was down 10% and AVTC was almost green
