+$145.16. Bought right at opening when it opened up hot. It blew over the $5.8 resistance. I sold very fast and wanted to keep 200 shares for the long but the stock dipped a little, hit my stop, then went on to go up another dollar. Quite a shame but still a good trade.

I had this one on my watch list and totally missed it. That was a very quick buy at the open. Did you have a stop in mind and what confirmation did you have that made you confident in trading this immediately? I always feel like gambling if I think of trading the first few minutes.

Once I made my initial gains I set my stop to my purchase price. In the 2 minute chart you can see that quick spike down that triggered my stop. Very upsetting because it shot another $2.50 within the day. Maybe I should have had the stop be manual and not automatic.
