This was a former MOMO stock which was the main reason I took the trade as it gapped up during pre-market. What I failed to notice was how thick the Level 2 was and that pre-market volume dried up at the time I took the trade.
I also bypass my usual trade checklist as I jumped on this solely because it had high pre-market volume (in the millions at 8am ).
I was definitely forcing it in hindsight.
Its at $2.38 now. Stair stepping down.
My 1 trade a day.

INTRADAY FUNDAMENTALS
TRADE PLAN
-The idea was to catch a bounce over VWAP = $2.65
-Marked resistance at $2.85.
-Stop loss of $0.10.
TRADE MANAGEMENT
-Executed my idea, cut loss at $2.55, exactly $0.10 of my SL.
-Bailed as soon as I realized that my idea was not going to work based on the Level 2.
-The stock sold off to $2.45 right before the bell ie still within my risk tolerance, and reclaimed $2.65 all the way to $2.75.
- It moved in a tight range and was not so significant, but I could have turned my small loss into a small profit if I hold on to it longer.
- I don't regret keeping a tight stop loss as it could have turned into a large loss if I hold on into the open.
-Churning fees as I am trading on small size.
READING THE TAPE
-Did not read the tape prior to entry despite having it on my screen.
-Should have noticed how thick it was trading.
-The tape was slowing down.

Did I take an A+ trade today?
Areas of improvement ?
P/s :I lost money multiple times trading this stock apparently. Just realized it after upgrading my Tradervue subscription.
In retrospect, setting aside a small amount of money would have saved me from making bad decisions.
