The setup: pullback
The result: It was a pretty choppy pullback and far from being a nice setup with tight risk. I got a tiny piece of it and got the heck out.
The lesson: This could be classified under "boredom trading" and I need to stay out of the chop. If 9.00 had held, then the case for this actually being a pullback would be more valid. This turned out to be a bounce in a downtrend and the 9.00 mark would have been my signal to notice this or at least that that was a high probability.
