Not a great week for me, not horrible, but not good. Trading was secondary for me this week as I had a lot of other things going on and wasn't able to watch the ticks. Tried to force feel a few trades which is always a bad idea to do.
LTRE - Ill advised trade, lost 1/2 on 2000. Never really started MALL - Should have taken a point when I had it, but I wanted to hold through the close and it looked strong...until I turned around. ADXA - From yesterday, sold because not much was happening. Too early. XYBR - My one bright spot today, got 1/2 on 3000. CIEN - Almost pulled the trigger early, but thought other things were in play that looked better. GRIN - Held way too long, luckily got out with a few K. ONSL - Still have not made a dime on 5 trades, just can't get a handle on this one. If I would have held, would be just fine now. EGGS - EGGS was good to me 1 1/2 on 3000.
All in all, not good trading tactics. In between methods, sometimes swing, sometimes pure day trading. Need to get my act together.
Like Tokyo said today. Not a good day, losing money left and right. I really want to play more swing and position trades....I think there is a lot of money to be made in this market that way.
Got to run to a friends house, wife says there is no option. Will do a recap and take a look at next week. Suggest we take a look at some specific stocks for swing trades next week.
Lets get some issues on the table.
Good luck.
