This trade really threw me off for the whole day. Stock was gapping up on the daily. I ended up taking and entry that was way too high and with way too much size. I ended up losing way more than I wanted to. I hadn't slept very well the night before so I really shouldnt have been trading at all. That put me in revenge trading mode as I tried to make my money back as I was already way over my daily max loss. I bought again near support only to be stopped out again. I bought a third time when I thought it was flagging and was stopped out again. By this point I was so burnt out that I missed the big move at the end of the day. Shows you why you need to be patient and can't force trades. The rest of my trades for the day weren't really that bad but it only takes 1 bad trade to ruin it.
