First of all, I got involved in way too many trades today. Of the 4 trades I got involved with today (I'm only showing 3 because they're closed out and the 4th is the same Ticker), I had absolutely terrible timing with all but 1.

CNET had incredible price action this morning so I tried to buy into it, but bought way too late at $4.06. It then went down to $4 and I sold quickly to cut my losses which was a great choice. However, with commissions, I was down a total of $23. I actually bought this on a dip buy later at $3.52 with a different account of mine and I'm waiting to see if it will go back up at all (I'm currently down a few pennies a stock). Update: I sold the rest of my CNET shares at $3.70 for a small profit of $12.58.

CANN was the same way. It had a good morning panic but again, I bought too late at $4.63. This quickly went back down and I didn't want to sell..I didn't want to believe I was wrong again, but I was. So I ended up holding too long and sold at $4.48 for a total loss of $44 after commissions.

Lastly, I bought KBSF at $7.40 and sold within about 3 minutes for $7.75 which was the ideal trade for me. After commissions, I walked away with a $21 profit.

My biggest lessons I'm trying to embrace right now are don't chase, focus on one trade at a time, review past performance which I am doing every single day, and get out of situations where you don't feel comfortable (CANN was the trade I wasn't comfortable with). I'm just thankful that I'm still brave enough to trade and that I'm still in the game. I vow to study every day and to get better than I am now until I can do this full time. My current goal is to be up 50% in each of my 3 accounts by August.

Thanks for reading!
