I have copies of my portfolio position from close to the max SP; on 30/03/17 I was 774.21% @ 73.00p, 18/04/17 I was showing 786.18% gain @ 74.00p, with the SP already on it's way down. 19/04/17 654.45% @ 63.00p, 24/04/18 570.62 @ 56.00p. Obviously the SP maxed somewhere in the middle of that at at 82p on 10/04/17. At that point I would have been 882% up.
I have bought and sold, unsuccessfully, in the meanwhile, and now have a little over half what I had, and have managed in the process to bring my average from 8.35p to 13.80p. If I had just stayed with my original investment I would still be almost 100% up, but I have felt compelled to "cut my losses" at one point, and been tempted to buy back in on optimisim after the slight rally in Dec.
As you say, trades that didn't work out!
