I was initially up $96 on my first trade of this stock. I then got worried I would miss a big run in it so I rebought back in at a higher price, only to see it drop down to my first buy price. Then bought in again for another loss 2 minutes later, giving me a $96 loss on it total. Truthfully I bought in again because I was mad at myself for losing the $96 fake dollars, lol. I need to realize I'm going to miss out on big runs, which is hard especially if you sold the stock early. But it's better to have some profit, then none and especially negative for the day. This trade was actually a great lesson to illustrate this for me today, hence the reason to trade paper before you go live.
In the future I need to either only sell off half into the pop (maybe taking 1000 shares instead of 800) and then hold the other half w/ stop at buy price, in order to hit the home run.
