Trade recap for October 26th: Low float madness

Nice morning panic on CDTID … I watched the r/g action but didn’t play. Wow. LCHL I finally covered for a nice gain, but I still lost a little overall on it due to my ill-timed scalps on it last week and my disastrous long on it.

Trade recap for October 15th

PIP was a TimAlert that I followed even though it was obviously a bad trade. The problem with having learned so much from Tim Sykes is that I still have the urge to follow his trades without even thinking. CWNR was frustrating that I couldn’t fill my short at the open. LCHL was frustrating that I couldn’t get a fill in the pre-market.

Trade recap for October 11th

Fat fingers never felt so good … I meant to buy 1k AUMN on Timothy Sykes’ PennyStocking Silver IM alert but bought 5k. Because my position was so large I sold quickly, realizing some nice dollar gains. VIDA, the tale is old and often told: I should have held longer.
