really let this one get away from me... i took the higher high intraday at open but no followthru, it was forming an opening wedge that i knew if i had initially guessed wrong that it would be a huge fakeout and crash pretty hard the opposite way.., soo i put in a stop limit order at 537 with limit at 536.90 but it was too tight of an order and the action just blew right thru it and never closed out my long and never filled my (even larger sized) short, which was the right play atfter all.. very frustrating trade
lesson learned: when flipping a position on a stop limit like that, use the spread size of the stock... my .10c wiggle room was wayyy too small on the order.
