I lost $5000 on GOOGLE being SHORT PUTS all because of the FLASH Crash! I would have collected the premium if it wasn't for the FLASH crash! Regards
Not gonna point out my successful trades as they're few. Out of about 70 trades I've done so far my biggest mistakes... Bought Gevo with expected earnings due .70 sold at .40 Bought CNR at 2.18 sold 1.461 my very 1st chiscam Bought KONE 3.3 SOLD AT 3.5 only to see it pop 400% in a an hour. I'd say I got a mix of inexperience and terrible luck. Most of my other trades are either very small wins or small losses due to commissions or currency conversion screw up. The good thing after the 1st 20 trades or so I haven't loss more than 10% on any trade with the exception of NFEC so I've learned to cut losses fast.
I don't know how new you are in trading but when you 1st start out aleast 75% of that time is spent on learning from costly mistakes as I was... And trust me, I didn't just dive in I studied how to trade and used fictional accounts for aleast a year.
