Finally able to trade again





After taking Monday, Tuesday off from practice trading to focus on tax responsibilities as well as a personal day yesterday to spend with my sister, I am back at it today.


Here is my first trade entry and then exit. I decided to skip my rules of exit for the first half-hour today because of the high volatility. I exited at what I thought was a good spot. Nice gainer (+ 60 cents), but price kept going afterward. I could have had nearly double the winner had I stayed in. One really never knows with certainty where a stock will go...

UPDATE: As I fix my typos on this post, the price is soaring. I could have had over twice my gain had I still been in as of this writing.
