    I got myself to blame for chasing, should have not even thought about trading with the platform f***ing up, nothing I can do now, just have to wait until next week to start at square one again.

    After a half hour with chat, got things working again, told me to download the beta version.
    WWR disaster, the one time I go long. -$495 for the week.

    Really messed this one up, started short on LIZI premarket, entered a bunch of orders, when some got filled, I cancelled the others, but instead of them instantly cancelling, it just said pending, and on open they all got filled, now I was in a huge short position, and it went my way on open, but I wasn't quick enough to take profit, then exited for a -$60 loss with a market order right before it spiked up, so the loss wasn't that bad, but I should have had over $300 profit in minutes, live and learn, hopefully I'm quicker on the trigger next time.

    Wish I had another day trade for today, LIZI typical Chinese pump and dump.

    The good today: stopped out (manually) for a small loss.

    The bad LIZI got sold off all day, could have gained around 40% on my account.

    SURF went up over 30% yesterday, shorted it on open, covered for $180 in 2 1/2 hours, shorted in 3 lots, when exiting I wanted to find out for sure if exiting in multiple lots after entering in multiple lots would count as multiple day trades, as I was told previously in chat that it would, so I exited in 2 lots, and once again chat gave the wrong info, as I still have a day trade left, probably save it for tomorrow.

  8. I thought the title of this thread was a dig at midgets.

    Beautiful trade this morning, shorted EDSA shortly after open, almost got the very top, then added as it was coming down, then trailed with a stop order (manually adjusted) for a profit of +$311 in 7 minutes, this felt like the best trade thus far, waited patiently for the entry, wanted to see if it would break through $10 with conviction, it did not, it topped out right where it topped out back in August, quickly entered via hotkey order, then added to a winner for a change, then set a stop order and was adjusting it as it was going down, got taken out, only thing I would have done differently was exit half and let half run, but I say this in hindsight as I see it drop further, overall gain on account +5.76%.

    Clear resistance point, If I were a guru, I would have thrown the kitchen sink at it.:D
