Wow, the first order was a real mistake... Looks like my stop was at market prices? Not sure what I did (phone trade).

Second trade was better - it appears I was trying to nail the entry at just above the previous high (trend indicated it was moving in that overall direction, daily looked great on this one). Sold the position as I noticed it rolling down the backside of the run. Overall, entry and exit was near flawless on this one (for a quick scalp).

Mental trade = 50% - not sure what happened on the first one.
Paper trade = 40%. Low score due to messed up first trade and low position size that equated to a whopping $4.95 gain on this trade after commissions! BUT, the approach on the 2nd trade was very good. I felt good about that one.
