Oh man, this trade was so bad on so many levels. First, I chased the stock into a breakout. Second, I bought it like a loser at the second tap. Third, the stock was already pretty extended. Fourth, the market was fading all day. I accidentally woke up too late and I was looking for a play since I felt like I wasn't trading enough lately. This is what happens when I try to force things. There were great flags I could have played in the morning though. Anyway, I understand the implications of forcing trades. This isn't gonna happen again.
