Grade=D
P/L=-0.8R

Entry: Shorted after the rally and the lower high with a rejection spike. I even shorted somewhat on the high side of the range.

Result: Too bad. I got stopped out my mere pennies on a move that was big and about to happen, so I still like my overall thesis on this one. This encourages me to stay at it and keep making little tweaks.

Lesson: Tightening stops isn't a bad idea, but it must be done with care. Re-entering didn't look too appealing right after this, but if I had been watching and the emotional capital reserves were good, this could have worked as a re-entry a little later.
