Grade=D
The setup: short the bounce
The result: stopped out
The lesson: This entry could have been better if I were looking for the stock to test 5.50 again, however I still should have been able to get something out of this and I think my stop should have been at 5.50 or slightly above, and perhaps then a slightly smaller position. Ideally a better entry with a spike and some patience to wait for it would have been the way to go.
