*Idea: Continued weakness and fade after morning push vs the 55.50s.
*Entry: 54.80, small size. Scale up after further fails
*Risk: 1:3
First red day on JKS yesterday in the parabolic daily move. Looking for continued failure.
N/A
Hit 55.50 HOD yesterday, expecting serious resistance into further fails afterwards. Saw major resistance at that level and weakness following.
Entered with 10 at the 54.80s on some weakness. Used as starter size vs the 55.60s as a feeler. It started to fail at that level, so I added another 10 later, but saw the basing at the 55.40s as a sign to get out. Set stops to exactly the 56.50s and scaled down around the 56s. Watched it go farther still later and was glad I got out.
-Definitely could have been much smarter about this trade. No confirmation on any key levels. Dunno how many times I need to make this mistake for it to stick.
-It's time to stop going off of trades that others are making. Slap a sticky note over your face if you have to. Had HYLN as a major watch this morning, and then let JKS take over when HYLN was frankly just that much easier and wouldn't have chopped me around nearly as hard.
-The turning point, officially down a pretty substantial number. Even if it includes borrow fees, it's pretty eye-opening.
