Bought long when price went red to green on 5-min chart; set stop just below red to green spot. Sold half into spike; moved stop to buy price. Sold another fourth into spike. Moved stop up as needed to stay under 5-min VWAP. Sold another eighth into spike. Bought more shares when price bounced off VWAP; placed stop just underneath. Stopped out. Why am I consistently getting this pullback wrong - I can buy and it works, but when I add to what I have, it fails every time?
