I thought that this was a super high probability trade that I took, so I put in a big position. Normally, I look at the stocks float on freestockcharts.com, but HIMX float was NA. While reviewing this trade, I checked that the float was over 100 million which explains everything. I almost always check the float on a stock, but not on this one. To avoid these trades, I can alter my routine before I make a trade. Currently I found my routine to be to in depth and too long because I will miss my trade. After this review, I will alter my routine so it is shorter and simpler.
