Day in general:
- Very small red day after commissions
- Lost on the first 2 trades of the day
- Managed to have some winners later in the day to more or less break even
- Difficult day to find "clean" plays, very, very boring
- Happy that I kept number of trades low, did not force trades and looked at difficult
day (starting out with losses, mostly sitting on hands) as a learning opportunity

Trade Comments:

  • Should have added around 12.60, 1% rule
  • Covered right at the high of day
  • Was thinking that the stock might grind higher to 13, as the whole number
  • In a way, did not trust the set-up for mean reversion
