Very annoyingly, I was stopped out of RT practically to the penny @ $3.24. If you look at the chart, the stock spiked (er, illiquid stock stop hunt) right to my stop order and then proceeded to tank to at least $2.80 as of this writing. This was a total loss of -$104 with commissions. I was in a meeting this morning and saw the results when I got home.
I’m down a total of -$264 with my last three swing trades over the last week…after my nice gains in the bottom fishing positions.
I’ll take the rest if the week off from swing trading to re-evaluate and focus on my sim day trading for the time being.
I’m planning to paper trade into the close after knocking out a small work project.
PS: I take responsibility for my trading, mostly kidding about the RT stop order hunting joke – I know there is no conspiracy against me – except I know the market makers read my blog to undermine my every move.
