Paper trading again

Getting a bit more settled and starting to keep an eye on the market, just working small paper trades in STT for now as I get my feel of the markets.

Had a couple trades today, started off buying NAKD and quickly realized I should have sold so I did at double my position giving me 200 short and had another descent fall to make back loss and a bit of profit.

SNOA was a small position 100 shares short at 1.63 covered at 1.48 not a bad little gain, but probably reaching a bit at this point. Helped my daily average, but could have easily gone against me.

Good points for the day cut losses quick and changed position. While the change of position might not be realistically possible the exit would have and it would have saved me from more pain at least. On the bad side I probably tried an extra trade I shouldn’t have it worked out this time, but I need to watch and cation myself. Neither of these were plays I’m trying to focus on right now. I need to keep my focus and only take to absolute best shot not the excitement play or something to try aspects.

Paper Trades for 8-17-18

So I’ve decided to review in reverse so eventually as time permits I should have all trades here, but in order of most recent getting priority and older getting added and reviewed as can.

For CNET started with 100 share short at 2.55, bought to cover at 2.45 although missed order was wrong amount and instead of covering 100 order was for 1000 covering 100 and buying 900. Quickly sold the 900 at 2.5 giving a gain of $10 for first trade and $45 for accidental follow up. Plays were premarket could have held short as it dipped well during day.

Had an afternoon play on TIK short 100 at 1:38 at $4.1/sh covered at 1:50 for 3.85/sh. Shorted again at 1:58 at 4.15/sh covered 2:12 at 3.95/sh. Total $45 gain in paper there. Could have held longer short as it dropped to around $3.
