Saw P/M. Bought and sold some for a nice profits. Should've stopped there. Keep trading and gave back a bunch of my profits. My last 2 trades were @ halt resumption. @ 10.025 I enter and it just don't bounce. I should've gotten out @ breakeven instead of @ 9.83. IF I exit quickly, I might have catch the ride from 9.80 to 10.50. I reenter @ 10.43 aiming for 11, risking 10.40. It got to 10.70 (should've gotten out here). I exit 10.50 when it is coming back down and look like it just won't have that big of a bounce.

I use mental stop loss. I enter with a hot key since I am using TD-Ameritrade which doesn't have fast execution if I am typing in my orders.

I like this trading story- thanks for sharing. There is one thing I'm wondering about - when you re-entered at $10.43 (risking $10.40), did you hit a hot-key immediately after purchasing, for a 3-cent stop loss? Or maybe you had a mental stop loss? Just curious. I am getting better at mental stop losses, but they are far from super accurate (usually the exit is lower than intended); a real quick hot-key for stop-loss could be good...
