1st Short - Didn't realize it was a brear flag, but though "ooo this'll go down more" and shorted it. Too far away from the SMA and EMA though so bad spot to try and do it, it came back up and I got stopped out.
2nd Short - Actually realized it was a bear flag and shorted it (good job me) But my stop loss was too tight and I got stopped out before it cracked
3rd Short - Was pissed because I missed it and tried to chase it (bad move)
others - Idk wtf I was thinking. Those were bad trades.
Lesson: Set looser stop loss? Write "I will not chase" 100 times on the white board.
