So this was a bad day. Not because of a .5r loss. Just bad decisions. First on this trade really late entry. The entry price not bad but should have entered almost 5 min earlier. Since it started with a larger stop I tried to double down and reduce the stop on the buy setup. I was a little late on that too but not too bad. I turned right after that and since I had tightened the stop it took me out, even slipping .05 on half. So all in all about .4r on this one. Disappointing, did not follow plan. I did not take first target when I should have since I had small share size with big stop. I added and moved stop so then I could not ride out the pullback and then it went to within .10 of my target (28.25) which means I left 3r on the table.
