Frustrated with my broker (Schwab) - I tried to buy HXHX at $0.96 and my broker said I had to call them. I got a machine. It just wasted my time and wouldn't place the trade. Now it's at 1.40. Grr. Just had to let that out. Overall it was a good day. I made bad choices with LHAI overall, and I sold all of my winner way too early. Several of the issues I bought on Friday took small dips at he market open and so I sold, only later to watch them revive by $2 a share. But, overall, it was a good day where I made more than my maximum goal. So, it has been a good trading day.

Tim said there'd be days like this. So, I'm on Schwab. Yesterday we all ended the day thinking that yesterday had exciting trades from the pre-market through the day and planned to get up early and trade in the pre-market. But Schwab doesn't open until 7:00am for their pre-market trading. Anyway, I got in there and had already missed the start of some good trades. I tried to chase several trades. I took a couple of wins, some losses that were big for me, and several sideways trades that were slight plus and minuses. I'm posting all of my trades in part to drive home the lessons they have taught me. Number one I did well yesterday - sell losses quickly. I went and got some tea this morning and had one stock go very low in both accounts I trade in while I stepped out of the room. I guess this morning I didn't adapt to what the market was telling me. I tried to force the trades. Now I am hearing Tim Bohen's voice saying don't trade until 9:45 with clear signals from Oracle. And I hear Tim Sykes in the last twelve seconds of the middle DVD of Spikability saying,"Think about your risk of loss before you think about your potential for profits."

Up to this point I've been paper trading, which has been great. It's allowed me to be less reckless, more attuned to what works and what doesn't, and put certain practices in place, but I feel like I need to start putting some skin in the game while also getting accustomed to real orders with the broker, and practicing. Completed section II of Complete Penny Stock Course, along with the 30 day bootcamp, and Challenge Orientation + Homework. Admittedly, I still have a LOT of stuff left to study, but I feel like I've been making good and consistent progress. Complete transparency, I have >$80k in my Schwab account to start, however I'll be pretending as though I have $25k, risking no more than 1% per trade.

Hah - I actually went through several brokers, including E-Trade, before finally landing on Interactive Brokers. I hate IB for charting, so I use STT for my in-depth charting, but I really like the amount of control I have with my orders on IB.

*Month Recap: Another milestone in the books! I’m officially over PDT! The month started out pretty well then took a sharp decline due to unforeseen circumstances (Wifi down), which, from what it sounded like, came at a good time as the market screamed to the downside from worries on the new Covid variant. Momentum, volatility, and volume have all been super low or even non existent it seems in OTCs. Another big thing to note for my future trading would be that I’ll be switching brokers from Schwab to Fidelity as Schwab will now charge $6.95 per OTC transaction. In light of this I will also be switching from a cash account to a margin account, due to PDT now realized. Month ended pretty well despite only having 3 trading days the last week and a half. Gain loss analyzer shows I’m still trading in my sweet spot. I’ll be really missing this for future recaps and personal accountability. I’m posting my YTD chart via Schwab as I’ll be no longer using its features. Still on the sidelines for now, waiting for my transfer to Fidelity to go live, which will hopefully be a good decision. Next milestone for me is 50K. LET’S GO!!!
