Back Account: +$7198.
Main Account/Swing Trades: Obviously have been off, crook as a dog for the past week or so... So I've lost track of how my swing trades have done day to day which is kind of annoying. I closed my BABA long exposure the day before it started moving which is annoying but I had the structure messed up a little (not asymmetric enough) so happy enough with decision.
Was also about a -2k day on back account and a -200 day while sick, and one or two days prior to getting sick where I had been slack. Will just look at main account statement and fill in the net summary at the end of the month of something.
Today was a pretty solid day. Ultimately didn't trade to perfection because I didn't leave 1/5 of position on, on some of the trades (ISR, AVEO the main culprits). But overall only about 2k less than it could have been so not bad!
Clearly some poor trading though. The PTBI loss and the SHAK loss was way bigger than is acceptable!!!
AVEO: Did a really solid job of shorting the front side of the move on this beast. Risk was a bit too far wide on 1/2 of my initial position but aside from that it was all good.
Started looking at it as it accelerated and decided $3.50s over/under was a good place to risk to, so nailed entry around 3.39 and covered all into downmove.
Then nailed the (manipulated?) grind up over vwap short where it just completely dropped out like crazy and I covered all.
Last cover on the short at 3.39 was in the 3.00 range, and cover from 2.90s was in the 2.65s range... Simply holding those both would have yielded some seriously higher profit!
ISR: Gap up and short based off premarket highs. The initial move lower on the open got me on a lot of size too early. But added all the way to $3.80s and nailed (was down unrealised about 1.5k at one point though). Ideally if I was going to react so much to an initial downmove I should have started shorting premarket. Otherwise really solid!
Last cover was in the $2.70s.... Had I held this last 1/5 all day would have been another $1400...
NTAP: Looks really nice in hindsight but closed the trade in the .20s... I understand why I didn't like it, but if I didn't like it I shouldn't have entered the trade, otherwise I should have traded the plan.
PBMD: Had the exact right idea with this. But had to cut it premarket as I was stopped out. Spiked roughly 60c from initial entry so had the right idea.
PTBI: Didn't have hard stop in and got cained because I didn't notice the price slipping away.
SHAK: Position size was too large.
VIPS: Really solid trade long after the trend change. Added perfectly when could trail stop-loss.
