Notes

4:55 Bought BIOC because it was the largest mover premarket. I actually bought this because it was on the premarket up 10% scan and its volume. I made a mistake buying on the first bounce. When buying the dip I should wait for a flattening instead of the first bounce. The first bounce seems to typically fail.

6:29 Sold half before opening bell to lock in some profits.

6:11 Sold another 2,000 shares as it started to consolidate.

8:03 I got stopped out for the remaining 3,000 shares at a small loss. Overall made a small profit.

I didn’t trade BIOC well. I sold part of the position right before the opening bell to lock in some profits, but I didn’t have a clear plan. I should have sold into strength like Sykes says. I could have netted over $1,000 in profits. Instead, I got stopped out for $187.84 in profits.

A better entry would have been around 7:58 or the .50 level. Even though I messed up the entry, that doesn't change that the .50 level was the support level and that should have been my risk level. I got shook out because I didn't want to see a loss.
