$CLSK
The importance of swiftly cutting losses cannot be overstated. Despite promising daily chart,
$CleanSpark (CLSK.US)$ could be blasting off, majority of the moves were already in the gap up during pre-market.
The huge intraday washing was fierce, resulting in a substantial loss of over $9,660 due to my sizable position. However, a subsequent trade of similar magnitude managed to recoup almost all the losses, leaving a
day trade loss of -$1,516 from $CLSK. (Took away 19% of the last two days intraday realised profits, but still overall daily portfolio up almost 5 digits due to
$Palantir (PLTR.US)$ and
$NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ daily surged substantially).
This episode underscores the importance of strategic decision-making during intraday trading. While fortunate to recover, it serves as a reminder that not every trade will yield favorable outcomes.
In hindsight, I should not delete my original entry at $15.10 rather than succumbing to FOMO trap moves and entered at $16.25. Stick to original order level could have potentially resulted in a substantial profit within a single day instead of many trades to recover my initial big intraday loss, not to mention the transaction fees incurred in a day will add up.
EnjoyTheProcess : Thanks for sharing. I appreciate these type of market "battlefield" experience sharing, and I always try to learn something from it.
Sharkintown : Agree with your point. This stock is not for swing trading. How do you advise on trading this stock in that case? Because it swings more than 15% within a day. It can up 10% at market open but will close 10% down
