SIM DAY #7

Shares traded: 600 <--- (AMZN only)
Closed P&L: $26.00 <--- (AMZN only)
P&L/Day: $1,384.50

$AMZN was my first of two trades on the day. I was able to trade during the open for the second time. I was looking to short on a quick pullback as the stock still had strong volume and looked as though it would continue the downtrend. My entry point was not the greatest after being proved wrong on the downtrend continuation. However, the trade would have been solid if I had not accidentally had a finger twitch while it was on the trigger, selling out my first shares for a loss of a penny. However, I did see the stock make a downward move, sold my second set of thirds for a solid profit. Had my final third of shares for a further move down, however, the stock reversed and I was stopped out. Made a TINY profit, but all in all, the trade did not work out as planned. Luckily, my risk management saved me and I still left green.

This was a 15+ flush already with no real bounce. You needed to wait for a bear flag.

@Jakenv21_BOWS Yes, I agree with you. Got caught trying to chase a big move and was completely too late. Mistimed the flag completely. Appreciate the input!
