up down up. +5%

First hits were up (STM, OSTK). Second hits were down (CAG, TSLA). Third hit made my day back (OSTK).

OSTK was really the star of the day, making and regaining most of my profits. 

I have not been upset to take these big losers. It's a bummer to go from up a few % green to down 1%. Today I came back again, but how will I behave on a day I don't come back again?
I MUST NOT DRIVE IT INTO THE GROUND!

Take my losses. Lick my wounds. And ALWAYS stick to clockwork. 

CAG - was on my gap up list, but gave it up fast for bear engulfing. Missed the short.


MRNA - Daily caught my eye for a reversal. I missed this one too.



OSTK - a lot to unpack today. Top pick of the day for daily pattern so tight, volume breakout today. My general technique is to chase these, but sometimes I get really burned. So this time I took half for starters and added to full when it surged again. So then where's my pl target? This paused immediately after my add so I got scared and adjusted for 20% on my starter vs on the full. The spreads were big so I had to shave into it, when it started perking up again, I added back and though it was tough to wait it out (as SPY dropped!), I did ok, including on that last sell which I was super bummed about... until I wasn't. It is now trading even lower.



STM - new ath on volume. Grabbed it. Took off less than half at the top, regretably, but still closed it green.



TSLA - Daily breakout of steepest downtrend line, but another one overhead. Bought shares in  swing account (to hold), but one call here disappointed.
