Gross PnL: +$558.
Net PnL: +$322. Spent $171 on borrows today, so that's why it looks like I spent a lot on commissions.

Kind of a weird day. I didn't trade particular well, should have been a 2k+ day. The general theme of the day is that I came into the day with a strong bias (and rightly so) but failed to recognise when I should be sizing down, and failed to recognise when the trend was changing and my bias was being proven wrong. As a result I had a massive drawdown from my PnL highs for the day.
I was up $900 on ACIA, and I should have drawn down a max of $300 of that.
Was up approximately $300 on TWLO (early on), and drewdown to about -300. This should have been more like down to breakeven.
This shift of trend was obvious once a trendline had been drawn in (on ACIA), so a good habit to get into is spamming trendlines on charts - not as an exact science, but just to help generate a picture.
Worst trading of the day today was done on REN. It pretty much behaved exactly as I had expected, opening move up; then retest the lows (trap people short), and then go onto new highs. I took a starter long without defined risk-reward near the highs, and then forced to close at the exact spot I should have been looking to enter. Then looked to flip it short, and lost money on the short. Overall lost about $500 on this series of trade, when I should have made $200-$500.
