- $AGEN WAS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT ACTION NOT TO SHORT INTO - A SECONDARY POP AFTER A BIG DROP, MOST SELLERS ARE GONE SO ODDS ARE AGAINST ANOTHER BIG SNAP; AVOID
Pretty good trading today, except for one huge rookie mistake - forgot to cancel $CLDN short orders, and they got filled when I took my lunch (dinner) break ... came back to my desk and saw my orders from mid 12s were executed , $CLDN was hitting 15+ and i was down $800 unrealised ... i added some on that insane spike with hopes of breaking even; unbelievably i calmly added when it looked like it couldnt hold on to the gains, and eventually it came back and i covered for b/e for $13; on the one hand a great save, on the other a shame, as it could have made a great trade had i not already been in from the mid 12s ....
Aside from that, I need to start risking more on the good setups - my win/lose ratio is improving so time to increase position size.

$RFMD 6.60 covered half 5.52
rest 5.47 for +$80
$LOJN with 6.25 risk , up loads past few sessions
took quick +$20
$PAWS .23 with .24 risk, filled just 5k shares
+$139
$LIVE
+$161
$NVLX like an idiot i put a buy order instead of short at .33 and was wondering why it was taking so long to fill, so chased the short half a cent lower, not sure it was a good idea, tight stop
covered half at .32
rest when it bounced off .32 +$99
$AMRI with r/g risk, it's making lower highs and up huge past few days -$23 cut it quickly wasnt a good setup
$DYSL started tiny 2.05 hoping for another push and lower high to add into;
tried to add 2.05 - no fill
+$120
$RFMD 6.80 risk, 6.50 target
meh wasnt the best setup, just boredom trade -$50
$CLDN risky here
+$102
kept dropping - but it was quite spready so not easy to stay in the trade
$RFMD trying again on this curl, if it doesnt work i'm off this pattern
covered half 5.72
rest here, +$60
$INO on this lower high
+$10 didnt trust it, making higher lows
$PAWS again small on this fade +$60 took 1.5c
$DLIA small (IB only had 1887 shares ...) failed to break hod on this push and started to curl a little -$26 didnt break down
$AGEN looking for a little snap here, 4.15 does seems like a firm base, 4.20 i stop out and goal is low 4.0s
ok this was a really bad trade -$70 should have ignored it with that base at 4.15, also it had already had a panic today, odds are much better shorting BEFORE a big panic rather than on a secondary run after a panic, as many of the sellers are gone
$CLDN back from lunch to find out i hadnt canceled short orders from the mid 13s, and now it's at 15+ and i'm down $800 unrealised ... waited for more parabolic and shorted some; also shorted some in my suretrade account so i could trade it with a clear mind; made +$60 on that suretrade trade
ended up even on that IB trade ...
future reference - they almost always end this way -
$SEV small 13.75 risk
got lucky, was able to cover for -$8
$INO looks like good r/r here; risk $4
+$55 setup was that good i should have risked more
$INO 3.75 risk, looking for a flush into the close, traders wont want to hold it o/n
+$80
$PRFC .30 spam pump +$250
