The Toliet Trade - Oh CRAP plus last week's results


When I pull a bonehead move like this especially on a week where most of my trades sucked, I want to scream. I have had problems with when and how long I can watch the markets. I got an alert from Stewie on a stock that looked really good. I missed the alert by a few seconds but I started buying a little higher. The stock looked like it was going to explode to the upside.
-
The stupid part was just before I got the alert - I felt the need to relieve and badly. I bought anyway and wait for a few minutes. I had to go or I would soil by pants. I should have just placed a close stop and go but the last two times I did this I lost out. Onetime badly, because I did not place as stop. Instead this time I cashed out for a very small profit and ran to the bathroom just making it.
-
The trade if I had a full size on would have turned a shitty week (lol) into a breakeven week.

Very frustrating week. I missed a couple of great entries by seconds. In other words, the stocks blew thru big numbers just as I was trying to buy the number. An example of what I mean was ARUN at 30. It opened below there after trading around 30 for most of premarket. The stock popped to 30 seconds after the open and there was a big seller there. I tried to get in on a limit at 30 and missed by seconds. The next trade seemed like it was at 30.34. I hope have hated to see my fill if I used a market order or a buy stop but I just was not fast enough - damn.
