Trading Review: 09-08-2016























Gross PnL: +$1916.

Net PnL: +$1715. Borrow fees were $162, unfortunately never really got to fully use them.

Preparation: 7/10
Patience: 8/10
Risk-Reward: 7/10
Discipline: 5/10
Flexibility: NA or 5/10 (not adjusting the SKYS plan to allow for getting big size on)
Greed: 6/10
Over-trading: 6/10

Had an interesting experience today, with getting greedy on the low float stocks that moved. I wanted them higher, so that I could short aggressively; instead of playing the price action I was seeing. As a result missed some reasonable plays (SKYS, CLRB). So today I was greedy with entries (?). Maybe that's part of the reason I was profitable on every ticker I traded. Really solid patience, and execution overall.

I am somewhat cautious after being profitable on every ticker. Don't want to fall into trap where I am afraid to take a loss. It's normal to take some losses. A few of the ideas were scratches, but with good entries they ended up marginally profitable.

SKYS - I shorted 1500 (or was it 2000 shares?), then decided the price action was confirming. Ended up missing the add to get to 4000 shares (but did have to pay for borrowing the stock). I'm okay with this, didn't chase it lower - which is good discipline. But bit of a miss there.

TSCO - Probably the other big miss of the day. I was tired and wanting to call it a day, so covered entire position when I probably shouldn't have.

CLVS - Probably the biggest blunder of the day. Originally had wanted to scale into a parabolic 30+, but that didn't come. Had a good plan originally, but price action behaved slightly differently. Ended up slightly over max size (by the time I had added), and without a super clear cut risk control plan.
