I did not follow my normal strategy today. I typically don't trade stocks over $20.00; however, nothing else seemed to be moving so I took a chance on this stock with smaller share size. Looking back on today, I over traded in the hopes of having a successful day like yesterday.
One of the issues is that I was trading at the high of day. In several instances, I could have pulled more out of the market than I did because I didn't bail out quickly enough. Lesson learned!
I successfully added to my stock by 10 shares which was a skill I wanted to work on. Last week, I made the mistake of adding to already existing share size and the stock quickly went from green to red. I lost $149.00 that day so I have been really carefully lately.
I ended up in the green with $2.28 after being red for quite some time on today's stock. A green day is a good day so no complaints! :)
My goal going forward is to trade less each day and focus on better set-ups.
