What a mess lol.
Broke the 5 day rising channel. After my initial trade I wanted to get back in for a swing short but I managed to screw that up by jumping in and out when I should have just sat tight.
First trade; Half +.55c, Second half +.90c
Second trade; -.06c (Stupid, I was up decently too)
Third trade; -.15c
Fourth trade; +.63c
Last trade; Half +.12, Second half -.08c
note: I've been gearing towards swing trading these high dollar stocks as they tend to move in clear cut trends and patterns that are easier to predict. Whenever I start day trading them I get whip lashed back and forth screwing up the chance for a bigger profit when the overall idea is still valid.
