2011 July 1st-One Rational Trading and One Emotional Blunder

Overall, today was a good day, my portfolio has outperformed the market for more than 7 days in a row. However, I made one almost unforgivable mistake. We'll dig in later.

I closed out 2 positions today, JMP and POZN. 

1. JMP 

Enter Price: 5.99  

Exit Price: 7.12 

Profit: 22% 

Days Held: 5 days

Trade Entry Signal: V shape reversal with William % R and Full STO oversold, Bullish MACD crossover. 

Fundamental: P/E 15  EPS: 0.47 

Exit Signal: 6 long white candles followed by a doji. 

2. POZN

POZN is a fundamentally pretty strong stock with p/e around 6.5 and EPS 0.67, it was rated one of the most efficient pharmaceutical companies in America. 

Mistakes made: 

1. No clear Entry Signal. 

2. Let fear get in the way. 

3. MACD was showing positive divergence, no clear exit strategy at all. 

4. Got flushed out as weak hand, sold at exact the bottom around 4.18. It was a loss of 16%!!!
