I had no business using as much size as I did on this trade. This was a bad trade from the start. I had originally wanted to short what I thought was a supply zone between 255.41-256.60. Unfortunately, I was wrong and started in about $4 too early and was beyond full size about $3 too early. This is why it's important to have a plan, size in according to the plan, and follow the plan. Not all trades are going to work and it's always that one time that I decide to go for the big win that I end up getting screwed hard.
