Trades 11/04/14

Lessons:

  • NEXT WEEK SIT ON MY HANDS THE FIRST HALF HOUR - WHEN I DO THAT I USUALLY AVOID SOME POOR TRADES; IT MAY BE WHERE THE MONEY'S MADE, BUT I'M NOT READY FOR IT YET

Tough again today, got lucky with buying on some big news and a low floater, otherwise would have had a $300 day instead of a $1100. Nice way to finish an otherwise tough week.
Definitely need to reassess my strategies - I think working around a core and focusing on 4-5 stocks and trades them in/out throughout the day is the way to go.

Gappers: 1/1 +$240

$BRPC +$240

Longs: 3/4 +$942 

$AFAI .20 for a b/o -$33
$BCCI long some here +$135
$MNTR +$16
$NHYT on acquisition news, fat fingered 500k instead of 50k, rarely it ends up well +$824
$AFAI tiny for gapper

Shorts: 8/12 -$78


$TITN -$269 fooled me so many times- stop at 19.15






so far trading like yesterday so wont be surprised if it stays in this 18.90-19.10 range then make an eod run



went long and sold for change

then it made the big move

$RAD -$250 had stop at 7.20 but was gearing and gearing, should have taken a smaller loss





$RAD again 7.05 risk

covered half

+$70

MNKD +$19



$MDBX $25 covered 23 (3 trades, 2 good) +$164
$FB +$49 (two trades)


$ISR on this spike
$TC +$60



$MDBX reshorted 22.5
$TC trying again here on this lower high

+$79

  1. Hi. I follow all your trades daily and most of your succesfull trades are morning emotions, usually in the first half hour. So why do you say you will sit on your hands for the first half hour?
