11/30_MARA, XNET
XNET- surprising everyone again!! lots of people expecting single digit but nope! I am glad of my exit, yes could have got out earlier but gave it a chance.
MARA-0 regret on my entry but this thing looks like 50/50 setup there!! no thanks.
boredem trading is really sick!!!!!
MARA-i shorted into weakness and added all the way to HOD. Lost my mind!!!! Was down nearly $10k near the top!!!!!!!!! kept increasing size to infinity!!!!
XNET-looked like HOD breakout fakeout. Yes in hindsight BUT extremely hard to read!!! it held and kept going, fucked all the shorts then pulled the bids and fucked all longs!!! I used size and stopped out!! totally avoidable!!!! why the heck I used size?!! then reshorted sensing heavy action.

11/29_XNET, PZRX, MARA
Crazy day and stared at the screen for 8 hours straight!!!! sick!!! really need some off time!!!
FINALLY it comes in!!!! was wrong hundreds of times.....due to FOMO I put up some and added to the position, under vwap and heavy action so it's good for using size BUT again afraid of yesterday's EOD squeeze action. you just never know!
shitty connection + grinding action. using $1.30 as a guide then $1.40. didn't quite work out the way I expected.
thinking crowded short so took long and up $3k near the top and didn't take sigle share off!!! $5.20 peaked out twice then I flipped short and nailed the move! ideally tomorrow $4.50 push again for size back in for swing!!!

11/28_RYB, XNET, PZRX, CREG, APEN
Traded terribly today.. it is what it is.. glad I didn't make any huge mistake, all minor paper cuts
this thing got me red again. I thought it finally breakout last two days' resistance and could go nuts, nope didn't work out.
hard to read, hard to trade. first it has weakness then it came with strength with HOD breakout then turned out to be fakeout, no liquidity there.
was up 2k but didn't take it, wanted big picture trade then saw divergence so got out. Good trade overall. this thing just isn't tradable unless hold ss overnight or into the strength in a.m.
shitty trades left and right but overall I did okay. Got squeezed first and down 5k but make all back, was overthinking but nope bids were gone. When you get chopped around and you start thinking what if they tried to trick me again. Still got respect the price action!!!

11/27_MARA, DPW
good start of the day but made lots of bad decisions subsequently and gave back trunk of profits!
hard to read on both but I know as of now when it holds doesn't matter above/under vwap it could grind towards HOD and potentially gapper tomorrow. these are NOT the trades you short and patiently hold!!!! hit and run until under vwap and selling heavily!!! like AT09 said.
great EOD & a/h short with size!!! awesome cc!!!! expecting crowded and squeeze possibly tomorrow for re short. will see.

11/22_GBR, MDGS, CLNT, EKSO
CLNT, EKSO-made my day. couldn't been happier than my trades even realized I woke up late and missed CLNT's $7-10 runup. EKSO-stuck to the plan and stopped out half but weak selling immediately hammered it.
MDGS, GBR- paper cut but totally avoidable!!!! we have entered into "short all pops" market. mania is over!!!!! All palps have packed up and ready to enjoy the thanksgiving. back on monday!!

11/21_XNET, CLSN, ACST, EKSO-$35K
What a mess!!! going into the day with mentality of 6 figure!!!! and that's the first mistake I made!!! Really thought today is the "day" for XNET. but instead this thing trapped another round of shorts and ripped again.
initially using r/g as risk lvl, then moved up to $20 but it kept going and finally using premarket high $21 as a risk/stop out/guide lvl. Yes I shorted then stopped out each time BUT I left BIG core position on!!!!!!!! That's huge mistake that gets me into trouble!!!!I same mistake as usual- didn't respect the stop, added to loser, refused to stop out all, kept adding, kept waiting instead of just taking the fucking offers!
EKSO- out of my mind trade!!! why the heck I tried to long it after saw it already surged/parabolic into near $5 region?!!!!!!! out of my mind!!!!!
ACST- didn't focus on it, little pissed I didn't short into close yesterday!
CLSN-emotional trades!!!!!!!! Shorted into weakness each time and covered into the strength. But glad I had conviction and price action pointing to the right way so I build 40k share position for $3 crack. Glad it worked out and made nasty day look less nasty.

11/20_OPHC, ACST, XNET
traded it the best I could-short and long!!
same mistake as LEDS. longed big twice and got dumped twice!!!!! didn't respect stop out lvl!
this thing literally got 9 lives!!!! not gonna fight!!!
XNET-couldn't help but FOMO!!! knew that if I left the desk and saw it at $10s at the end I will be very very pissed of myself so stayed there and attempted shorts several times. Couldn't make it!! but glad I respected the price action and stopped out twice before it hit $19.
choppy one!!! lots of surprises and abnormal actions!!!! first it squeezed from LOD to HOD but turned out to be fake out. I recognized that and sized out then saw volume pop at the end so tried to fade it but didn't do what I wanted. Had 30k shares size and got uncomfortable the way it traded. Scaled out the most between $2.72-$2.80!!! That's one of the best things I did, is protecting myself!!! It squeeezd 20cents from my cover!!!!!!

11/17_DCIX, TOPS, CBIO, IPDN
complete different market than yesterday!!! Glad I did everything correct.
killer trade of the day!!! unreal!!!! great example showing trend holds it can keep surprising ppl!
nervous on this swing. up 40%!!!!! but again fundamental matters so I added near HOD! price target=20's c.
CBIO-nervous trade and took it off for minor gains even after saw $8 massive refreshing sellers.
IPDN-good trade!!! stop loss at 4.40 and it's triggered! not gonna fight!
$4.50 o/u as a spot for long trigger. instead I was sitting and didn't do anything til the pop. still made some $ but could have done better!

11/16_CADC, CDTI, MRDN, LEDS
Crazy market. down $40k at one point!!!! did right and wrong things
CADC is the one that lots of short sellers got fucked. The ez money is long morning washout. if draw line across there is no reason for me to short & stay short!!!!the dip holds PERFECTLY!!! we all make various mistakes and that's not the problem, the problem was after realizing 10k loss I threw more shares at it anticipating lower high!!! Can't believe I was doing it, in this mania period I anticipate lower high on momo stock with low float and tick pilot!!!!! I was out of my mind!!! Lost my mind and rationality completely!!! in my eyes $7.80 is the key lvl!!!! so I sized in with stop at $7.80 BUT expect the whole world is risking that lvl, you get blowoff candle and shoot all the way to $8.30. This stock is clearly the flavor of the day. I was wrong countless times!!! I shorted into weakness numerous times and got squeezed. Lots of divergences!!! this is the case you better avoid than trade-long/short. Perfect short trap!!!!! downtrending ever since $9 slam and continually making new low, shorts have no reason to cover!!!! finally it cracked $6 merely and reclaimed and skyrocketed from there. No way I could get out on the bids so I took the liquidity and flipped long 13k shares and made $9k back final hour. Yes in hindsight I should put all my short cover order at sub $6 lvl, once this turd turns, it's super fast!!!! But if I were before I wouldn't have covered and flipped in the end, got have credit for that improvement but always room for improvement!!! I read the chart and price action correct but just too emotionally entangled after ate $30k loss initially. Remember emotional stability is far more important than money!!!!
CADC-yes lots of mistakes but I stopped each time and flipped long in the end so overall it's not bad considering the monetary outcome and trade management.
LEDS is the worst trade I made today and perhaps last few months!!! My mind got really fucked by recent exuberance buying so I longed pretty big on it twice!!!! Both time got dumped!!!ate $10k loss on it which is absolutely absurd!!!! newbie trader mistake!!!!!
MRDN-good trades, short into pop and cover into dip/washou and not overstay! hit and run is the only way to go in this market!
CDTI-shorting after 2pm is just not the way to trade especially in this market. According to my read I see lots of selling at low $2s so i sized in risking $2. o/u and ended up stopping out at $2.10. Yes I did it according to the plan BUT man the loss was there and I could have recognized it earlier and escape before the herd did, like epica said, run don't walk once recognize divergence! this is not the market for you to overstay! remember when you short you look for rejection not consolidation!!! don't matter whether the consolidation happens above or below vwap, in this market these zombie come alive from dead!

11/15_SORL, QRHC, CHFS
another crazy day and I am proud of 3 things I did.
didn't get greedy and covered into washout thinking it may crawl back up due to former squeezer but given the trend I should perhaps get back in some of not all.
controlled action and in my eyes it becomes 50/50 type of setup. heavy seller vs thick buyers. no thanks so I cut everything at high $1.90s. trading this type of setup I focus on "rejection" not grinding action!!!
CHFS-wow unreal movement!!! proud of my trades!!! this is the one I used to say hmm it's up too much, let me short it or maybe take eyes off thinking that it already went from $5 to $12 and the long trade is over!! Nope, that's not the case given recent crazy low float runners!!! it pulled and ripped another 5-7 bucks from my entry!!!trend holds perfectly!!!!!!!! No reason to short!!!! Thank God no locates which saves me from possible trouble and stupidity!

11/14_ROKU, CCCL, MOSY
took 5k shares position initially and took $6k loss earlier but sized back in and nailed the flush. In my eyes $45.50 is the KEY lvl!!!!! so once it snapped below it and stays below it I sized back in!! Not to say it's ez trade as it's seen that $47 push squeezed lots of weak hands out including me! Glad I got back in!
I had a vision that it would snap below $40 but couldn't hold position. The problem with me was once starting taking profit can't stop it. left $30k on the table!! just remember when it goes up further than all thought it could go down further than all thought!!! dip buyers will continue averaging down till pain max.
CCCL, MOSY-lost focus literally!!!! overtrading today-5 tickers total and ROKU massive position got me tightened!!

11/13_ZX, NVFY, CREG
CREG- long thesis didn't hold so got out. GT
CAPR-literally took eyes off, should never trade left hand corner!!
NVFY-smelled absortion. no thanks!
turned big green day into red day!!! trappy action really got me!!! Was up nicely on 10k shares long but HUGE slam stuffing action so I sold it for 1500 loss and flipped short. That's not the problem. the problem was when it started basing higher and failed to go down I refused to cover with minor loss and as result the small loss turned into gigantic loss. same old mistake!!! It went further than expected and even ripping after 5pm!!! guess lots of people short on thesis of a/h offering. If not news tomorrow morning looking to long!!!

11/10_CREG, ONP, TOPS
lots of drama and unexpected actions. both longs& shorts got caught for sure!!! CREG bias changed constantly!!! the action is HARD to read!!! anyone claim they have good read on it is bullshitting.
I had a ridiculous start and put on killer add into $6.50 previous HOD. Really thought it could have shot given the setup is killer+friday+shorts were caught yesterday! Nope $6.50 crack which makes me think it's a gonner but guess epic comeback to all the way past premarket high!!!Unreal!!! I joined long and thought $10+ but massive sellers knock me know and after it peaked out at $9 ish it's got trouble to even stay above $8. I recognized that and got the fuck out. Was up huge near the HOD but minimized it, the key is didn't turn it into loser. this is on Do Not Short List!!
headache!! had 8k profit yesterday near close but didn't take any. Had big picture in the mind and it got all the way up and even turned me red. Had conviction and slamming at $1.07 anticipating open bell washout. did exactly what I wanted. Again swinging it multi-days.
not hard but you just have to follow the rule and stop out taking small hit!!! Didn't do that initially and it could turn it nasty situation!!! $3, 4 possibly!!! Saw the weakness so I smashed the bids! this market is not normal!!! You got recognize that!!! especially when you are on the short side!!!! guess anytime before thanksgiving it's going to stay this way. Just have to recognize basing action the get out before the herd does.
