Didn't apply yesterday's lesson of sticking to fewer plays out the gate, and again paid the price for it; Wasn't patient enough as I should with $JRJC and would have monitored $ALSK more closely;
$IDRA I explain below how I got lucky, instead of $500 loss I got out even, but that was a badly executed trade nevertheless
Finished the day up $150, had to work hard to get that.
Longs:
$ALSK while I did buy in premarket, I did at least wait for a good entry; in 1.95 and 2 sold a few higher, but was too patient with rest; eventually switched to short once 1.85 turned from support to resistance; size of short was too small and r/r not great, so i cut it short; crappy trade; I longed again expecting and eod run and 2 magnet
$RADA I RADA not talk about this trade - it did eventually squeezed as expected but as i tweeted earlier, i'm not built for this type of trade; didnt follow the trade plan
$ESI nice b/p; damn need to work on patience! seemed like a chase so had no patience

Shorts:
$TLYS covered half just before it snapped unfortunately, they made it look like it was about to bounce back, that cover really sucked; really messed this one, should have been a great trade
$JRJC great timing on this one, shorted the am pop, covered on washes; re-shorted later when it seemed weak and close to g/r, and closed that one for a loss as it wasnt breaking down
$IDRA nicely on a lower high; had a nice profit, and instead of taking it, i let other traders influence my decision yet again (other traders were going "full size" which made me add and ruin my good avg); trade then went against me yet i stubbornly held. I'm just not disciplined to stick to my plan when i pay attention to twitter or IU chat during the trading session, hence I'll quit doing that; added a few on hod rejection, tight stop at nhod; only reason I'm still in is that yesterday it did exactly the same, made nhods then faded back to red; watching if it can do the same today; covered a few to be safe 4.20s for a loss and 4.15 for b/e. rest around low 4.10s, ended up even on it on the day instead of -$500 ... lucky, though upset i didnt follow my premarket plan which was short a 4.30 o/u ...
$TRVN small short on higher low and this stock tends to gap up, run and fade; covered half for even; added it when 4.25 couldnt hold and covered in teens
$CANF small - jic today is the day it bombs, will add on pops; did indeed crack 4, covered most in the 3.80s, kept 250 with 4 risk in case it fades further with $4 risk; today lack of patience saved me as opposed to yesterday with $VGGL ...
Reshorted a few at 4; great trade, shorting on pops covering on washes
$ISNS shorted a little spike, and got caught in a major spike, boredom trade that could have been avoided; i then flipped to a long and recovered some of the losses; tried again the long on a dip, made 2c
$FRAN tried once and covered quickly when it went against me; then again on hod rejection; better job second time;
$VTSS not the perfect setup, so tight leash; nice trade
$HIMX tried on trend break, had such a straight up run with no dips; added a little on hod rejection, with hod risk and add more on 8 o/u; broke evenish on the trade, seemed too bullish and held support
$ESI trying small on 10 o/u and overextndedness; covered and reshorted on a bounce
$ARRY small short, jic trend breaks here; it worked for a bit, then it didnt
$SIMG boredom trade; that's more often than not a long setup
