This trade took awhile to work but slowly pulled my day back together after some smaller losses in the morning. Had a big selloff in the morning and then bounced up and held around 16 but was making lower highs so I shorted half my position at 16.11 and had a stop limit order to add my other half on the break of 16 but the stock just blew right past that so I shorted on a pop to 15.85 which may have been chasing a little but I was looking for a lod test on this and my size was small enough that 15cents wasn't too big a deal. Took off half my position at 15.76 and then waited till the very end of the day and caught a good flush down to cover the rest at 15.54. Pulled myself out of a bit of a hole with this one and only finished a little red on the day. Just need to scrape off some of that rust haven't traded in a little while.
