one more DAIC round trip, -$50
A -$50 day, and I include it mainly because of what it represents rather than what it cost.
DAIC, again
I bought 1,000 shares at $1.70 and sold them at $1.65 across six prints in the same session. Fifty dollars gone.
That's my fourth losing trade in DAIC in a row. The ledger on this one ticker: +$1,897 on June 10, then -$30, -$93, -$178 and -$50 across the following two and a half weeks. I gave back roughly $350 of a $1,900 win chasing the memory of the day it worked. Read: the single day two decisions made $2,206 →
One spectacular trade in a ticker doesn't make it “my” stock. It makes it the stock I'm most likely to overtrade — because I've got a vivid memory of it paying me.
Running total: +$4,790. Read: what 890 trades looked like once I reconstructed the statement →
