The stock was gapping up and continued to be strong at the open following continued tension in Ukraine with no resolution in sight.
This 1st trade was made on the break of 59.5, the tape was very strong and the stock was likely to break out.
I enter the position on the breakout, risking 15cents, took a partial to offset risk.
The issue is i took 2 partial of 40% of the position when i wanted to take only 20% (short key error). Only noticed when i had 20% left, missing out on 30-40cents profit on 800 shares.
Must be more careful.
