Wanted to hone in my skills to trade pre-market with news of public listed company. Especially price action weak companies where the bear action would be quicker than the rest.
This would act as a hedge for my long portfolio as well.
The news that I got from my notification was the filing of S-3 of 100m+ shares readied to be sold by existing shareholders + 8m of warrants to be further issued to the market (Though, post-facto I found out that it was just a conversion of S-1 to S-3 from Twitter but I was already in the trade and wanted to follow the plan in contrast to my short $IQ trade where I was a scaredy cat.
So news notification came in and I shorted pre-market at $24.00 (LMT order) and the price fell downwards to $22.80 at one point and I was feeling HIGH on the fast and furious downward ride.
Market open and the price was shooting up, it affected my Friday night mode and entire night I was looking at the chart. Which on hindsight, I should have set a stop-loss of $26 which would save my mood from crumbling when I looked at the 1m chart. Scary AF.
But the trade is now working out and I see the possibility of it falling to $20 using EMA 200 as a dynamic support and perhaps falling even deeper to 14-17 range.
Who knows. Hang on tight.
