i realized this morning that i was not booking profits quick enough after the first trade i made attempting to short amazon. this one i did a little better, started long on the first pullback, sold some pretty quick into the next spike, i didnt expect it to go because it was only the second tap. i was expecting the pattern to coil more but it pulled back further than i was expecting so i took some off to lighten my position and then added back in at a better price, started scaling out on the way up but this time i was taking more off at the top than i had been earlier, my last two sells were literally 3 shares and one share so i did to a much better job about being quick to take profits in all this chop. overall this was the better of the trades i had in amazon today but alot of overtrading regardless
