Stock consolidated for a few hours around lunchtime. Shorted when I thought it would breakdown, but got stopped out. Thought setup was still valid so I remounted, and eventually just covered my positions for lack of volume. The stock really tanked around the close however. There were so many good short entries on this stock today, but I missed them all. At least I didn't take a huge risk nor loss. Timing is everything.

Indeed, for some unknown reason I placed the stop at the 9 EMA which doesn't really even work that far intraday lol. Not too proud of this one right here. But this stock definitely had potential today. Going to be keeping a close eye on it tomorrow too.

This could have been really nice! Stops look a little too close and random.
