Swing trading stocks

At the recommendation of experienced traders I decided to start a public journal to log all my trades and thoughts on the markets.

Now in the last days of December the Santa Claus rally is in full swing. As a matter of fact, the whole 2019 is a big rally in retrospect.

My recent trades:

INTU bought @262.42 on Dec 16

VRSN bought @193.32 on Dec 16

EBAY bought @35.98 on Dec 19

AAL bought @28.825 on Dec 20

ULTA bought @248.75 on Dec 20

 

Stops?

 

stops are for cowards.

 

True, position sizes?

 

Warren said only buy enough so that 50% down won't ruin your sleep

 

Coward

 

What is your plan? Journal is fine but you need to document what made you decide these positions.

The real key is to be in the right state of mind. This you must learn.

 

risk as much as you want to win

 

Thanks everybody for your suggestions.

Dec 27 bought AMZN at 1877.9 with stop loss at 1799.63
Later on it may look like a stupid trade but on Dec 26 Amazon did break up 4 month resistance on 2x volume.

 

Stopped out of AAL on Jan 3 at 27.52
