The setup: pullback

The result: Things were too choppy here. I wanted to practice scaling into a trade here, but it was too choppy to warrant such a notion on this one. The move to the upside never really happened and things started bear flagging lower later in the morning, so it's good I got out when I did.

The lesson: I should have treated this one as a quick scalp if anything. I also should have had a hard stop in at my break even price, which I think I did, but a little tighter would have ensured zero losses after commissions instead of what I have here.
