Raw momentum, first red day setup, CLOV was such a big miss for me today, I knew that I had to size this one quite well but when we came in at 25.15 I wasn't able to get filled on the bid. I ended up getting only 250 shares which were pretty lame. I think that I had to be more aggressive once I saw that it was feeling quite heavy around that 25 area and then go full size on the break of 24. Second trade I scalped the break of 22 with 500 shares, I took my profits wayyy to quickly, I don't know why exactly I covered this quickly, I believe that maybe i was involve in too many names and I just brain fart this trade.

totally, I could have used a VWAP order or some automatic covers below 22.5 to get me out instead of puking like I did. I think that I was watching too much things at the same time. That should have been my priority. I lost track of how much meat there was on that name.
The forced away time is interesting too, like wait at least 2 min following the breakdown before paying yourself. I could def implement that too. Thanks for the advice @Cole

Nice trade. Maybe a pre-planned trailing stop or meaningful stop and some forced away time might help you not to reap profits so quickly in the future.
