dumping DAIC and BATL, then opening SNAP and PLUG

On June 16 I added a little more to both DAIC and BATL — 300 shares and 1,000 shares respectively — with no realized P&L. On the 17th I gave up on both. Read: the single day two decisions made $2,206 →

Closing the losers

I sold 1,300 DAIC at $1.65 for -$178 and 1,000 BATL at $1.19 for -$38. Both had been profitable trades a week earlier; both ended as losses once I kept trading them past the original move. Read: two orders in two days that beat sixty-four in one →

And straight into two new names

The same session I opened 1,000 shares of SNAP at $4.87 and 600 shares of PLUG at $2.79 — both considerably larger, more established companies than the sub-$2 tickers I'd been churning. Neither ended well: PLUG cost me $171 eight days later, SNAP cost me $466 at month end. Read: the day I made 23 trades and $46 →

I notice I never had a flat day. Every time I closed something, I opened something else the same session. Sitting in cash was apparently the one position I wouldn't consider.

Running total: +$5,052.
