Bad trade. Entry was ok, after that, management was a disaster.
I bought what looked like a pullback to price support, it started to go up, then hit resistance. In hindsight, I should have sold right then, when it didn't break through. But I held it and it started flagging, it tried to move up again, and failed. Not getting out the second time it failed was pure stupidity. The worst mistake was not having a hard stop, and it dropped so fast that I couldn't sell quickly enough to honor my loss limit. Wiped out my day's gains, and busted my confidence.
