Gapped up on daily after 2 up days, expected it to go long, which it did. On intraday, entered when it broke over VWAP, got out way too soon at the early high, because I was thinking, its an Open play/scalp, should have and could have held for the rest of the move up. But entered again twice and took small gains. On my last exit, I got stopped out, stop was way too close and it spiked down. Could have got back in but didn't have the mental capital. Overtraded this one. I like 5 min charts cuz they help me to think big picture.
***Tried to go long at $13.80 for another 100 but my orders were not getting filled... Spoke to Augie at TOS today and he explained that my charts and the prices i see are both delayed but the bid and ask I get filled at are real time, so maybe that's why I'm not getting filled. When i see $13.80 on the chart & I try to buy, the price may already be at $14 & not one is selling at $13.80 anymore. Will have to open 2 TOS sessions with paper & live at the same time or use my phone to get the live prices. (still not sure why Im getting the "Rejected" msg when I try to sell shares I already own. They are wrongly reading it as I am trying to short and need to borrow shares that I would have had to request from them).
Overall, my commissions would have killed any profit on this trade. I also could have gotten in earlier when it got to and held at the 200MA on the 1 min chart but i was adjusting to looking at so many charts at the same time (8).
