CALA Trade on Dec 15, 2014 09:30 from BenLbTrading: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

Risky short in the morning. Was able to scalp some profit but then it popped so hard it blew through my stop at the buy price and caused me to stop out of my last 50 shares way above my stop price. This is the risk short scalping a stock that can pop so powerfully. If I'd not had a hard stop set, I might have made more on the eventual flush but the risk was not worth it and I would've given up a lot of psychological capital holding it when it was swinging $4 in a couple candles.
