Daily: Could still run during intraday.
Intraday: Dead cat break down set up. Stock broke down but popped up but I was waiting to see if it was going to break down again. The eventually consolidated and made no attempt to reach previous high. I got impatient and exited thinking I only had 200 shares. But I actually had 400 and it worked in my favor once I found out after seeing my P/L still moving. Another rookie mistake though. Once I found out I didn't get a chance to exit when it tanked down to the $32 range. So I exited as soon as I could and made a very small profit. I'm sure that if I was playing live, commissions would've ate up my earnings. The lesson learned is patience, if stocks can't reach their previous highs and begin tapping support then its likely it will towards end of day. Also, be aware of your orders as they are just as important as making profits from a stock. Focus on the process.
