This week is green with profit being ~$1200. I mainly practiced shorting on IB and ETrade and made couple of big wins.
I am getting used to the volatility of penny stocks. However I am still lacking strategies in longing.
I have watched lots of videos this week and now able to catch the key words in Tim's preach and am continuing summarizing the patterns/strategies and hopefully will connect the dots soon.
I made my own watchlist. As I mainly practiced shorting, I looked up the big gainers which overextended or gapped up the day before.
I need to find a niche that fits my personality. It seems I am more comfortable with shorting. It is still too early to draw the conclusion as I do not have a picture big enough yet.
Need to overcome:
(1) Overtrading
The profit was deteriorated by small losses from the trades made after big wins. Be a sniper.
(2) Greed
Often expected a large profit and hesitated to get out when the trend went against me.
Need to strengthen:
(1) Price action/tape reading
(2) Trading plan
Good info I'm a new trader just papertrading so far but your plan seems like a good start .
