As I said in the previous episode, I love to learn from the lessons of yesterday. The lesson was that I missed out because I didn't borrow stocks ahead of the time.

Today I had a pretty good day - I took a gain on CGIX. It was a low float stock - 1.6mln. Low float stocks tend to be radical as they go up and down momentarily. I noticed that the company had a ton of warrants (I check that kind of information through https://www.bamsec.com/). I also knew for a fact that it was about to rotate the float because it was trading pre-market at a half.

So I decided to borrow and pay for these shares right then. It cost me 8 cents a share, but it was ok. But this is the thing - I borrowed without knowing if I'd be able to trade them after all. I generally don't like to trade low floats in the morning because the odds are not on my side. I normally don't mess with low floats because I don't like to deal with high volatility when the price goes from $2 to $7 and back within seconds.

However, I discovered a strategy that works for me well in the afternoon. At first, I took a small loss of 1R and then made an overall gain of just over 3R. But to get this gain, I waited until the very end of the day.

Watch the whole video to see how exactly how I managed to get over 3R on this trade and what lessons I learned from it. You can also see the chart and the detailed breakdown of this trade in this post.
