Maybe I'm trying too hard not to over trade, because lately I've only been focusing on one ticker a day. Today it was $CJJD. There were some news in the morning and the stock spiked up to 4.67 then began making its way down. I was about to short it at around the 4.20 level, but I chickened out and decided to wait until it made a new lower high. I ended up missing the first lower high it made around 4 and so I waited for the next one. I started a short position at 3.90 with 500 shares. Once it dipped to 3.68 I sold 300 shares to lock in some profits. The plan then was to put a stop order at 3.85 and let the rest run until I either got stopped out or was satisfied with my gains. I had to leave for work around 3pm and ended up cashing out around 3.68 this time too. Waste of commission, but Im glad I covered there because it came back up towards the 3.80s a couple mins later, which was probably all the shorts covering before the close.
