+$1860 Nailed the washout lows entry and with some serious size as I had conviction that shorts were going to cover on this flush since BABA had faded all day. Lesson here. SCALE OUT. I didn't scale out because I thought BABA had more selling to go. Counter-trend so you don't get much time to take profits usually.

beactive - I had too much size. Psychologically it caused me to take profits quick. Plus, counter trend trade. Many times they don't continue. Was happy with the trade. Just needed to keep a lotto size left for the run.
