I hate days when I'm up nicely and decide to trade just one stock before I stop ... it rarely ends well ... eventually made some back however still upset by how poorly I traded $ANTH, breaking several rules (not waiting for the entry and not cutting it soon enough)
I wrote a simple java program to query Yahoo Finance for a stock's float, if you're interested go to my website and take a look http://www.paraboltrades.com/tools.html
It's free of course, though you're welcome to donate to Traders4ACause if you find it useful.
Trades:
$BLDP quick flip in pre on some big news, will look to re-enter later; entered later and sold into a pop
$UNIS shorted in pre; nice trade mostly adding on pops, could have done better with the covers, but happy with the way i traded it
$PLUG bought as $BLDP sympathy, will cut quickly if doesnt pop out the gate
$HTBX longed some in pre on news, know this stock well enough that it moves fast on news
$FSLR sold the calls i bought late day yesterday
$ANTH silly trade, no edge, didnt wait for a good entry; back in on lower high and didnt respect my stop and just traded it really poorly; finally snapped out of it and added at two real good spots (annoyingly my pre-plan was to short 3.50 with 3.60 risk, and i hadnt the patience for it to come to me); then i deered in the headlights, didnt take small loss on pullbacks, wanted more, and instead got squeezed to pieces; just like a complete newb, embarrassing trade
$ZIOP been swinging some $10 calls that i finally sold today
$GEVO on vol, small position
$ANTH reshorted here; done properly here, respected support when it's held, and wasnt going for homerun or making back ALL my losses from prior trade
$GENE long on this 4.50 break, a bit of a chase, but 4.50 is huge
$GENE take2; sold half for b/e other for small profit
$VMW calls on big contract news; worked well
$ANTH long
