This was my disaster de jour. I had it in my head all day that it was a short when it wasn't. Once I get the basic "Trend is your friend" line through my thick skull, maybe I can start making some real money. :)
The one time I really thought I had it was when it was making lower highs for about 30 minutes around the 1:00 timeframe. I should have just been long all day and kept it.
