Green day, better trades but still not sticking to target plans
Right idea, good entries but not sticking to exit plan and getting out of winning trades WAY TOO QUICK AS I FEAR TAKING A LOSS! 3 Trades would have yielded much more profits if stuck to targets and didn't bail so quick. LEARN!
CRUS - Long off strength but didn't add on typical flag into rising MA
GMCR - Long on 47 break, but chased a little and didn't let full profits realize.
LVS - Good entry, should have added at support instead of take loss when bounced
AMRN - Missed opportunity

Much more relaxed today, only took 2 trades and both for losers but kept good stops
My CPU crashed during my GS trade, took 10 minutes to get up and running, really freaked me out. Ended up taking a loss but it wasn't due to the cpu crash, it was just not a great trade. Great learning lesson though as 1st time that happened.
AMZN - Short on roll over, hindsight says should have bought pullback and not shorted
GS - Long at consolidation and 50MA test but wrong
