Breakout Pull-Back,

Didn't trade it earlier in the day because it was up a lot without any real catalyst or news. However, after seeing it break out so strongly and have some really clean bounces it seemed safe enough for a one or two minute dip trade. Of course I just happened to buy at the same exact minute as it got halted on pending news as NASDAQ investigated the company for some shady insider buying. After being halted for hours, it crashed hard as would be expected and I am just holding now to try to take a less than $50 loss.

Exit: Ended up sitting on this one for way longer than I wanted to. Formed a level of resistance at 1.20 popping up here and there usually in premarket sessions which I always missed. I eventually set a limit order at that price hoping that I'd be able to get out on a random spike or on some positive news. The company had a patent approval and my alert went off when it broke above 1 and was halted at 1.15. After being subdollar for so many weeks, I should have left my limit order at 1.20 and gotten out, but I got greedy and was hoping it would break even higher. It began selling off pretty rapidly and I got out at 1.05, which was a stupid error on my part getting a worse entry than I should've, but I am glad that I can just be out of this one and out above a dollar at least. This was a very unfortunate trade, not necessarily because of bad trading on my part but just caught at a bad time in a bad company; this one was a bummer but I have new rules because of it, and I am just gonna eat this loss and learn.

Breakout Pull-Back, EMA9, vwap bounce,

Saw this ticker bulling back significantly from its highs and decided to wait for a test of vwap for an entry because it had a ton of selling pressure. Got the bounce exactly off vwap and was looking to exit at 1.77 originally at a retest of the 9 minute EMA, but the choppiness of this made me nervous of a flush, especially since this was my second trade on the day, so I began to look for an exit and got out a little too soon and missed the move I was looking for, but still took a tiny win.

Breakout Pull-Back, EMA9,

Saw this one breaking out and was waiting to buy a dip on it to the 9 minute EMA. Eventually got it but had a big decrease in volume and began to feel choppy. Waited it out and took profit off the table early.

Breakout Pull-Back, Support Line Bounce,

I was trying to get in for a possible breakout on this stock - I was correct on the direction of this stock however I sold way to early because i got nervouse of a sell off. My stop was really 10.92 the bottom of the last candle wick. I got out at 10.96 which was wrong - i should have let it play out for a while longer just cause. I need to get better at always getting in with small size and adding to my position on winning trades - i need to be more patient with my trades which will lead to bigger wins. I think the second i see any selling pressure i have to bail which is not right. "Plan my trade, trade my plan"

Breakout Pull-Back, Failed Breakout, Pull-back,

I tried to hold for the restest of the breakout from the previous breakout pivot point. This tested it once pulled back and i got in thinking it will test again and go to new highs. I will say i did a good job reading price action - this stock wasnt moving like a wanted it too - it was a battle bewteen buyers and sellers at a resistence. I got out 50 at a time and didnt take a loss - but this stock ended up selling off.

Breakout, Breakout Pull-Back, Failed Breakout, Support Line Bounce,

I FOMO on this trade - I missed my initial entry because i thought this was going to sell off all the way to 8.80 but was at my first support level i had drawn which was 9.24. In the future i need to put an order at both spots. I should have had a 50-100 share order at my first support so i didnt miss the entry then averaged down with the second entry and at that point i could have added shares into a winning trade. I need to backtest this because i havent added shares to a winning trade yet. I usually put my order in for my max shares i want to take for that trade and then see what it does. I need to try new things all the time with small share sizes and see what happens.
