Late entry, should have been a limit order at 292.83. Good job taking half off near the previous high when you recognized the momentum slowing (on the tape and the chart). Should have added back at 292.90 (limit order waiting there) as price typically retests the breakout point. Left a little on the table but that's ok.

Don't be too rough on yourself about the emotional side of trading, it gets all of us. This last month for me has been....... difficult. You'll noticed I even cut my share size due to how bad my performance was.
I commented my email on my trade.

Yes, this trade is cherry picked. It is an example of how I attempt to trade when I'm not emotional or breaking my rules. My biggest problem is not knowing when to stay the hell out of the market.
