Tried to play another ticker and when I hit my order I found out that ticker wasn't tradable. I normally run a check every morning, just got tied up in chat today, but I ran right over to this one because it was one of the only few good setups left that hadn't taken off or fell out of the gym.

Mixed signals here. Had bullish signal but the price was failing so I shorted. Turns out I was correct but the giant green candle on the 4th candle shook me out bc it still had the bullish signals so I thought it was about to run.

I really should practice the open on demand and not with live money. I think this was my biggest loss today. Ouch. And for no reason.

I should have had my stop above high of previous day but truth be told if I would have considered that where I got in, I wouldn't have taken the play because it was too far from where the stop should have been.

The irony is the loss I took was only .10 cents away from where that stop should have been anyway so just dumb. Have some learning to do on opening still.
