Entered (late) on flag break
Better entries were at 1:45 on 1-2-3 setup @ 331.18 or flag break @ 2:05pm at 331.67
Stop 331.89
After I got into this, the combination of the spread,the way it was moving (maybe I hadn't fully accepted how a $332 stock moved), and that it was a 33k position, made me feel uncomfortable so I closed it early.
Before I bot the stock,I tried to buy the 330 calls, but the spread was wide,I didn't want to pay the ask, and didn't get filled between the mid and ask (mid= price between bid and ask)

I get very nervous with large spreads and would've bailed out too.

You had it, but yeah you definitely have to stomach the pain when trading these large cap stocks as the spread does get wild.
