this was a decent set up as it broke the vwap and looked strong, i bought a 1 minute pullback and wanted to get in near 4.50 for the retest and possible break of the premarket high of 4.88. it faded to the vwap and that was where I set my stop. This was a good example of following your rules and stops, i set my stop at the vwap once it broke, I was out.

Why was your stop the VWAP? I would have put this trade on as well on the 1 minute pull back, but scaled out on the false breakout at 1010.
so my strategy teaches me to be patience with a mental stop because many times I have sold my position after a quick pullback to the VWAP only to see the stock shoot up right after I sell. I do not mind giving a 10% stop loss to ensure i do not get stopped out too early especially when the stock is trading around the VWAP.

Congrats on following your stop loss! I made that mistake today, similar entry but let my stubbornness get in the way of stopping out.
