My head was still suffering from staying up all night on a work project.
Another poor trade. In retrospect:
If I was trading the pullback (which I was) I shoulda been more aggressive about getting in at a better price, and because of the earlier price action (gap down, slow grind up, relatively notable drop 15 minutes earlier i.e.are the sellers coming back?)and what time it was (approaching 2pm)super quick with taking a partial.
I need to work on taking partials when I have 100 shares- I just thought of why I don't (I think) I'm on think or swim and it seems like a 50 or 25 share lot would be a scratch or loss with commissions. I gotta get over that.
Final word on this trade: It would have been a better trade not taken

I see what you were thinking here too but it was still choppy. I have found that when it's choppy around that time of day, I have better results measuring off the 20 ema instead of the 9 ema (especially in a high dollar stock that has multiple point swings). Just a thought.
