Rookie trade
Going red on this trade is an insult to my education! On my first buy, I overbought what I intended because I was editing my order as it was getting filled and both orders filled. I was uncomfortable with my position size, so I set a tight stop that got hit. I stuck with it when it broke out of the flag and had a good entry. I took partial profits at a good spot, but only 1/3. Then I got really greedy and added those shares back in and didn't adjust my initial stop.
In a way I was ok with this risk. I was up about $150 from a morning short on this name, and it had traded more than half it's float at this point. It just looked like one of those short churning grinders. There's something about the concept of "house's money" that makes me a little more willing to gamble. Going to work on that. At this point it's not house's money, I've already collected it. It's my money.
Also should have checked the daily. It got stuffed right at prior resistance levels.
