Mistakes journal

I start this thread so I can record all the mistakes I would make in tradings.

 

1. Failed to take profit while I could.
2. Trade something unplanned.

 

Great Journal.

 

Holding Citi now.

Two planned round-trip trades done, profit +$178.68:

CCK: bought 1,000 at $18.7, sold at $18.85

MO: bought 200 at $74.45, 200 at $74.2, sold at $74.54

 

What is your trading plan? Are you closed by the end of the day? Why are you holding CITI?

 

I usually close my position by the end of the day.

I am holding CITI coz it has not broken the upward trend and I made a mistake entering into position too soon.

 

Made mistake trading QQQQ: not being confident enough when adding short position.

 

TXN:

Didn't follow the trading plan, adding too much position at the same day.

 

Very stupid mistake. Meant to put a stop limit order, yet put in a LIMIT!

Anyway, stop out 75% of TXN holding with small profits if counting LIFO.
