POST Trade on May 15, 2015 10:01 from AndrewFerrara_BOWS: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

After playing the bounce off the 200day well in my first trade of the day, I flipped short on this bear flag. I was reluctant to take any profits as the stock tested the 200sma again and this time the stock bounced hard off it. My second mistake was that I didn't put a stop loss on the trade and I took a hit 3x my risk per trade! Big mistake here, especially since my entry was pretty solid and I left profits on the table.
