I had it in my head that this was a short when I took the trade twice. No plan other than there might have been some resistance on the 30 minute. Took my losses quickly but the third time I had a plan. I was looking at the pivot point resistance at the same level as the 40 ema on the 30 min. It was a good short. Covered a little on the flush. It bounced back up to the same level and I shorted some more. Covered the balance in the flush. Still looked like it had buyers so I just covered. Was able to make back my earlier losses but I need to remember to follow my plan and not trade from feelings.
