Bought long after price bounced up off 20SMA on 2-min chart; set stop under 20SMA. Got bad fill, so this put me just over my max loss per trade. Stopped out.

Shorted when price went green to red. Reversed position when green to red failed - it bounced up off that spot. Now I realize I should not be in this because it is bouncing all over and I'm not sure which way to expect it to climb, so I'm in damage control mode. Stop is below red to green spot. Stopped out. Bad bad trade. I paid little attention to patterns, more to emotions. Looking back I was right to short, and I did so at the right spot, I just should have zoomed out to the 5-min chart so I wasn't watching all the bounces. I was reactionary.

Took a break to regroup. Shorted when looked like price was going to bounce down off 9EMA on 5-min chart, with stop just above. Stochastics is overbought, all MAs are pointing downward, price is down for second day, so could expect continuation. Next support (or resistance for shorting?) is the daily 50SMA at 208.18. Moving stop as needed so it stays above 9EMA. Stopped out. Didn't drop quite as low as 208.18, so didn't sell half; should have sold half a little higher to lock in some profit.

Shorted when price bounced down off VWAP, with stop just above VWAP. Shorted more when price dropped below 9EMA; moved stop to above 9EMA. Stopped out.

Should be green day now because price bounced off daily 20SMA and 50SMA. Bought long when price passed VWAP; stop below VWAP. Sold half into spike; moved stop to buy price. Sold another fourth into spike. Moving stop up as needed to stay under 9EMA. Bought more long when price appeared to break a flag on 2-min chart, but stopped out shortly afterward.

Bought long when broke 5-min flag; stop below trendline. Stopped out.
