Day overview:

  • I usually don’t concentrate on money, but today it was so obvious — If only I was patient I could have made $200
  • If only I was staying away from obvious mistakes I could have had $100
  • Instead here is $65 for me. Lol
  • Entries, Sizing, and re-ads are the holy grail of my trading. I should teach myself to be able to concentrate on it 100%

$PTI +$11.01

  • Made a lot of mistakes here
  • First of all, should have recognized that the stock is crazy and gotten out on 4.
  • The biggest mistake here I didn’t add on the first backside consolidation below all the volume

$SPI +$25

  • Should have held it here, at least 1/3

$TRVN +$6.50

$CRMD -$35 Why the F… Short a perfect long setup???

The biggest problem here was that

a) This was a perfect long setup

b) If so> Do not add, do not hold> even if you want to go counter trend > cover 100% = scalp!

$EKSO + $0

  • Gave it a chance, covered some, and got stopped out for break even

$VKTX +$57 — The best opportunity of the day. MoneyG called it out!

  • Here I started with the small size. Got stopped out, saw the rejection, and basically got the full size.
  • The biggest miss here was Backside consolidation
