Entry comments: I'm buying this big spiker on news of a stock repurchase program https://tinyurl.com/47krkr8m and its really running into the close so I think it can spike more afterhours and ideally next week too as this is just its first big green day so its getting on lots of tradders scans. I wanted more of a dip off the highs of 5.50 but its spiking now off a base in the 4.60s so my goal is to sell back near the day highs 5.50 and ideally into the 6s if it can breakout. Cut losses at 4.60

Exit comments: No bounce and bad executions, nasty loss, but I have to protect, will make a video, but rule #1 http://tim.ly/clq cut losses quickly

Fridays have always been not-so-good for my trading, so today I decided to go lightly, specifically traded on defensive mode. I wanted to experienced a green week for once. I stopped immediately once I felt my decision-making started to tilt a bit. I started after 10:30am and based my entry off 15MN and 1MN timeframes. A few hesitations on my entries, also moving my stops had costed me not getting the $300-250 target.

Traded MNQ earlier today. I had to dig deeper from being down $376. Switching back to viewing price action from higher timeframe helped me with the comeback. Another small win in the book.

Traded MNQ on from a 6 Min ORB.

Entry comments: I'm buying this recent earnings winner in the AI storage space, solid first green day today and its run big in the past as the entire sector is heating up and this is the lowest priced play of the bunch so let's see if this can continue into next week. The goal is to make 10-20%, cut losses at 5% if no gap up or further spiking, purely a sector play with solid upside given the low price

Exit comments: I'm out for small gains as it was hitting the 1.40s late Friday and earlier today so I should've sold then but I thought it could spike more...small wins are fine though too in this choppy market, safety first!

Second trade - dip buy after big spike.

Entry comments: I'm buying this upcoming AI play as they're presenting at a conference next Tuesday https://tim.ly/416Cvuh and I'm sure they'll hype up their AI/blockchain products and could get noticed more by trades as this has run big in the past. The stock just went red-to-green today, lets see how far it can go, goal is to make 10-20% over the long holiday weekend as the markets are closed tomorrow. Cut losses if it can't hold this nice afternoon spike

Exit comments: Zzzzzz I was trying to give it until the market open for more chances at spiking, but it just seems so sideways, I don't want to risk a panic at the open so I'm selling for small gains. Be safe in this market this week please, the Middle East crisis is very tough to trade around so always prioritize safe trading first

Took this while it was in a choppy uptrend. Volume started coming in so I thought it could have a leg up but huge resistance around .87-.90. ITs bigger float so I probably could have gave it more time, but I'm not a fan of holding choppy stocks and I have to leave for work soon, so I'll just take the scalp and move on. It's really struggling in the .90's. Stop was .83

Got in on a quick scalp as volume was going. wanted to see 4.90 but also realized that shorts have been all over each little spike. Was risking 4.30 as it was up so much already. Just taking singles as I build my skill set.
