Error -- I sold for a loss of $300. Afterhours trade, system calcualated the loss showing closing price.
There was afterhours news of billionaire buyer. It spiked from 8 to 26. I went in big at 23.85, was up 1.50 a share at one point, but did not have an exit strategy, I wanted to watch it run.
Good: Good play to go long.
Good: Cut losses quickly.
Mistake: Did not look at long term chart which would have shown resistance at 24-25.
Mistake: Position size
