I cant follow rules

Bought VEEV yesterday on day 2 earnings at 4day EMA. Had 90$gain on close, today it opened and spiked and i had unrealized gain upto 300$ plus but didnt put a stop loss or had an exit plan.
Market then turned red and it kept tanking and tanking, instead of 300 gain i had 500+ loss around low of the day, finally it turned updward and currently my loss is around 250

the mistakes i made


1)I didnt have a defined stop loss, your stop should be present and keep raising it as the trader goes

2)I didnt exit at the morning spike, I should have at-least partially

3)I should have at least stopped just above breaking even, I didnt

4)I had a change to get out breaking even after the initial on midmorning spike, I didnt

  I went in too big, breaking my rules, and had 18000 position, it shouldn't have been more than 6000

Another big loss day around 2000$

Huge sell off seen today , I lost almost 2000

MXL kept tanking in the morning and my 600loss yesterday was upto 1052 before I cut it.

I bough AMD right away around 10AM which was falling too. But bought it too soon, I bought it when it was around -3% but it kept going to a bottom of -7%, came a little up towards the end of the day.

This is MXL two day chart, it kept tanking even today, My hope of it recovering today was a terrible mistake

Buying AMD today was basically a force / revenge trade, I bought it at 10, it bottomed at 11. 

At the bottom I was almost -1500$, I should have been more patient and should have let it show itself  . Bottom RSI was around 20

NVDA also bottomed at 11, RSI was 10

RULES Broken: No stop loss used

                            Force trading

If I had caught the bottom it was several percentage upward potential. Now If I am lucky I may break even :(

But it reported better than expected loss. I bought it after it spiked 3% after hours. Didnt hold the gains. Pre-market it spiked a little bit but i didnt get out, could have taken a loss of 50 but didnt. It downtrended all morning then finally came back up, I bought it around 7.77 sold it around 7.68

Lesson: Dont buy stock with loss

Trading before the setup IPDN Trade (700 Loss)

Trade Example: Investment News

Chart Example: Anticipation of low float run

Result: 600+ Loss

Joined supertrade alets and there was a lesson about this low float with recent big investment.
Bought it Friday around 8 (1000 shares) and waited 3 days, the volume didnt pickup and the price kept declining. Sold it on Tuesday in 7.30ish

Lesson: Should have bought if after the volume has come in and the stock had already took off

No Stop Loss

This happens when you dont use a stop loss on a super red day

Dip buying MXL but it kept dipping.
If I had a stop loss , I could have entered it better as eventually it came back up

Lesson: Use stop Losses
