GOOG

Another day for the short, and I didn’t see it coming. I saw a little green candle and entered; I should have waited for a clear signal.

Result: -$1,800

SHOP

Similar to GOOG, I was looking for a close gap and bounce, which didn’t happen due to market weakness.

Result: -$1,000

Again, I should have waited for a signal instead of entering despite the market conditions, and paid the price for it.
