these were a little more of experimental trades. Meaning, I doubt I'd throw real money at setups like this with the experience I have playing reversals but, c'mon ..... how often do you get to play with a stock that's up over 400%?

After the epic run this thing made I was looking for a double top to get an entry in. My first attempt was after it had tapped the 9EMA multiple times and failed to make a higher high. I managed to get a good entry so I had a tight stop. It didn't work out but, I'm happy with my entry and sticking to my stop.

The second trade(s) was a little sloppier. I had a limit order in at $11.25ish that didn't get filled. this may have caused me to "need to get into this somehow" ..... famous last words. I entered with a small position when it broke under $10. (I am NOT supposed to be entering on breakouts.) I added another small amount went it bounced back up to previous resistance, thinking it would fail. I could have sold around $9.20 but I had that thought of " if this thing breaks under 9, it may be dump city"

I added another set of shares when it spiked up with a stop right above the previous high thinking that it shot up there too fast to have enough energy to break above. This probably wasn't a good idea considering that I had already entered twice and the third entry put me in for a larger amount of shares than I should have been risking. When it dumped to resistance I sold half of my position(s) and set a stop to let the rest ride.

all in all I wound up making more on the second trade than I lost on the first but, I'm honestly happier with the way I played the trade that lost than the one that went my way ...... eventually.
