So far so good today.

So far so good today. LJPC upped big in the morning then it started to slide through out the day, like a balloon leaking air. I was hoping it would go up more but it didn't and I sold it to take some profits. Just another one that just go lower after the gap up, selling into strength. I am still can't put the sell order early. I guess I was greedy at the time and think it would go up some more.

Should I start to think buying instead of selling ? I know I am steps behind the curve so if I make the counter move I would have a better outcome.That means buying on the weakness.

The stocks I shorted are mostly in strong uptrend or not too weak. So, I should start finding weak stocks in weak sectors and in downtrend.


Things I need to do more:
- Buy higher price stocks
- don't always use all the buying power
- wait for the right entry
- don't over trade
- do more research before buying
