The setup: flag on the daily

The result: Stopped out on an opening spike to the downside. It was a pretty severe spike, but I suppose I could have had my stop at 1.49 to absorb outliers such as this and monitored the situation manually. The entry wasn't great and I bought high. That was where my problems beggan with this trade and I wasn't in a position of strength to handle the ups and downs and have my stop loose enough. Maybe I should have just abandoned this trade earlier when I discovered I wasn't in a great spot.
