My first day of trading


Well.. the day finally arrived! Even though I didn't fall asleep until about 3AM, I was up by 9 and checked in on where things were going pre-market.


I was eager and excited, and quickly noticed OXGN had exploded pre-market, and not wanting to miss the boat I jumped in. At $5.11 ..


I spent much of the day hoping for a recovery, and even could have closed my position with a loss of only about $10-20 at one point, but I thought it would rally near the end of the day. Boy was I wrong. I was able to get into some more positions as it was heading down real low, now my avg. price is $4.72, I'm down $153.00 but holding onto it right now..


On a more positive note I closed up $109 on PLUG, my first profit from a trade ever.


Either way, I've learned a lot and enjoyed my educational day. Commissions killed me as well, $64.13 in fees so I think I need to cut back my frequency and be more patient before I take positions.
