Intraday Trading: -$238. Just the DGLY trade, same setup as the trade on the back account except that I had planned to turn this into a swing trade because TASR was up so much (again!). At one point was up 2R on this so that generally probably confirms the quality of the trade.Swing Trades: +$984. Really frustrating, this is more realistically about +$100 because I missed the unbox on the open narrowly. I was psychologically biased wanting my box price when I should have just unboxed. That being said, I'm relatively okay with this given that I'm pretty unfamiliar with boxing - something to work on for the future.
Back Account: +$18175. Bit of a crazy day, so many things went haywire which could have caused some mental problems but held on after morning drawdown and recovered nicely.
First off, what actually happened today: I had some plans for the open, but missed stopout, got stubborn and had a roughly 5k drawdown, right at the peak of the 5k drawdown my internet crashed, so that was a stressful few minutes while I got on the personal hotspot. Then as I was holding 10k shares of PTBI, and went to sell 5k of them the order was rejected, and I couldn't sell any, then PSTI crashed and I eventually got a market order sell through about 10 minutes later and an entire $1 lower.
After the 5k drawdown I made a plan for exactly what I wanted to see to get me interested in a few trades, then went for a really solid walk and came back ready to trade.
BABA: Bought the gap down with a stop below $80, got the pop I wanted to $81 but missed sales because it was so brief. Stopped below $80, and missed the short.
DGLY: Based on the TASR upmove again today I expected a weak open red to green and eventual move to $20. Good idea but just never eventuated.
PTBI: Chased long early morning, stopped, then had a short once below vwap which was also stopped (after massive drawdown). This is when I went for the walk and nailed the long trades. Was a very basic pullback and higher low trading for the most part, and then when it was steeper I traded off the trendline.
TASR: Really nice short setup as it failed at $35 and failed the upward trend.
VLTC: Just the failed box... Managed to get net long near the bottom, then cover short on pop, but really bugger all of the setup was gained.
