$1,000 small account challenge, end of week 2 I had a crappy day. I mean, let’s call it what it is. I made two really stupid mistakes, one totally avoidable and the other taught me a lot about pinch plays. So I’m down 6% today because of it. I’m down $141…(Read More)
Small account challenge, day 13 I stayed in cash all weekend instead of picking up some end of day plays so I came into Monday wanting to practice some of what I had studied over the weekend. So I only made two plays and they were weak plays honestly. My pattern I think still was…(Read More)
Small account challenge, day 11 Another red day though fully recoverable. It was just a red open to the market. First, my overnight play of $LC got pushed down pretty hard to 3.60 premarket and did not recover in the morning. I held on but the markets overall were red in the morning so…(Read More)
So this was an interesting week of trades. The week prior I had made a few rules to minimize my losses. Don’t day trade, sell my overnight picks in the first five minutes of market open, and focus on 3% daily profit. As you can read from the title I missed the 3% daily…(Read More)
Small account challenge, day 10 First real red day. But it was very interesting. Last night I started with an overnight hold of $TEUM. I was considering playing $ABIO again, and I really should have but decided against it. $TEUM had a crappy post/premarket as someone was pushing the stock down to 2.20…(Read More)
Small account challenge, Day 9 Just an FYI I’m numbering these days based on calendar day, not trading day. I want to see my results over the course of 180 calendar days. This blog is more for me than it is for you, I just believe that there are a lot of other people…(Read More)
Small account challenge, Day 8 This morning was rough. Here’s what I mean. Last night I picked up $OPGN in my small $1,000 account and $HMNY in my other account. I won’t be making trades in my other account anymore, as I need to start moving that money out for what I…(Read More)
Small Account Challenge, Day 7 Monday first trading day and also first red day. Actually, technically speaking I broke even. But after fees of $2.12, it’s a small loss. And it’s actually a case of me not following two of my rules for these trades. Sell in the first five minutes of…(Read More)
Just moved my February from red to green, and I’m stoked! Earlier in the month (See prior reviews) I had made several day trades that ended bad, and then ran out of day trades in Robinhood and thus wasn’t able to get out of a stock when it started to move directions. My…(Read More)
Small account challenge, Day 4 I have traded this stock several times before, so I get excited when it comes up on the scanner. It likes to pop. Once again, my goal was to sell quickly into the open and despite the 5-minute chart on this thing looking pretty sweet, I was sitting in…(Read More)
