Grade=D
The setup?: pullback
Was it really a pullback?: Yes, actually it was.
Then what happened?: My stop was a bit tight because I was treating the previous candle as a "spike" and not the true bottom level to base my risk off of. Again, more patience on this trade would have paid off. About another 2 minutes of waiting would have served me well.
Oil was ripping up at the same time, so because I had seen RIG respond to oil spikes before, I thought this catalyst would send it higher, which it did, just not on my watch.
