Markets were crazy again today. Hit some all time highs on DOW and S&P then panic hit. Hardest hit was the nasdaq, which is bad for me because almost everything I play is nasdaq. So was another bad day for me. Mainly due to 1 stock hurting me. I did sell it at the end, earnings caught me off gaurd and they were bad. I need to honor stop losses. I need to start putting them into my platform because I have been ignoring mental stops. Hopefully this will take some of the emotion out of it.
Closed position on WATT in 2 different transactions. First was for a gain, second one was when my stop hit. I forgot to change the quantity on my stop loss so I am actually now short this stock. I didn't close out my unintentional short because at close it is working in my favor. Also small value and not worried about losing much from it. Was not worth using a day trade on.
Sold SCOG. This is the one mentioned earlier that was killing me. Its done now. Time to get disiplined and turn this around. Stop losses need to be in place.
No other action on other holdings. Will also start to move towards shorting more instead of always going long.
