I waited for more than 2 hours for this to breakdown. Over all good trade. Mistake #1, I didn't recognize the trend reversal and held onto my last 100 shares too long. Mistake #2, 2nd entry, I accidentally shorted 200 more shares while trying to set my stop. I bought back 100 shares of the 2nd entry to minimize my risk and I bought back final 200 at entry price when I realize that the breakdown had failed.
