SIM DAY #13
Shares traded: 8000
Closed P&L: $671.00
TERRIBLE TRADE! I had the right thought, the correct plan, and a solid entry. Just did not trust it like an idiot. On a 1 minute candle chart,I shorted the stock near the open after it had tested a support level a couple of times. The price finally broke that level and I jumped in for the short. Took some solid profits after a near 50 cent plunge. The price began to jump back up near my buy price a couple times and simply scared me out of the trade. I had no reason to bail as it did not break my stop point. If I would have let it play out, would have been a great trade. After frustration of mishandling the trade, I forced myself back in to gain some profits. Waited for another consolidation/sideways movement on the 1 minute candle and shorted the stock again as it broke support. Took profits quickly as I knew the stock was already extended and price began to bounce.
