Stock went parabolic which was going to bring in many shorts. It topped and then put in a base which meant all the shorts were trapped if it couldn't break down past 4.1 which was a solid base. When it broke that range, I thought shorts were going to get squeezed and would have to cover so I got in. Sold some at HOD in case my thesis was wrong. I was expecting a more powerful move so when it stalled, I put stop at buy price and got stopped out. It ran a bit more and then failed.

Reasons to sell: HOD, decrease risk, buy price

I like the fact that you list your reasons for selling in your notes, this will benefit you greatly in the long run.

Thanks! It's a bit of mental check to see if I respect the reasons or if i sell just because i am scared/emotional (like yesterday lol) so it brings me back right away to my rules and keeps me consistent. I have less regrets after if I leave money or lose as I respected the process.
