Initially I put purchase orders for Tesla at 430 to 433 then I deleted them all because I wanted to have some fresh air and did not want to get caught. When I returned Tesla was already at 440. My original plan was to buy it at 430s and sell it at 440s as I expected it to drop after 445 so shorted Tesla at 444s. Unfortunately stock rose to 447 and now even back at 445. I am still $200 in red due to all freaking trading fees and buy/sell spread difference. It was stupid of me to take out buy orders and still short sell it. I am also realizing this stock is far too volatile for day trading, any mistake and you are toast. I can't imagine my losses if I had shorted it at 430 today, but there is not a single reason for this type of sustained rally as well. I checked both company and macro economic news (lower jobs) and there is no explanation. I am wondering how you guys maintain your discipline if any of you day trade, do you write your plan for the day and follow it strictly, go with the flow of trading?
