the first entry was okay-ish (because yesterday was a huge bullish event and I basically went against it because of the gap-down, but the second REVERSAL trade was bad because I did not wait for confirmation.
lesson - wait for confirmations BY-THE-BOOK, I don't have enough experience to make this kind of decisions by myself.
the short and long at the late 9AMs, was fine thought my size on the short side was again way over anticipated (200 shares), but with the low risk (only NRB) it wasn't very damaging, the long though was fine, good entry after a good bullish candle and profits taken at the new highs with a small portion left to drift away but eventually it stopped out.
as seen at the early 11AMs I had a good conviction about the long side but my stop was very tight and I kept getting stopped out and getting in again, even though the risk was like 10c..
lesson - re-entering more than 2 times is un-necessary, only if there is a new sign of an entry that is defiantly telling me its time to get in.
