TSLA Trade on May 5, 2016 09:30 from JamesDover_BOWS: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

Big earnings day, TSLA was a PR Earnings breakdown. A little messy, but I shorted as it started going red at the ~228-229 resistance level. My second best trade (in terms of P&L) this week. It was a really anticipatory trade, but worked very nicely. I should have held at least 10 shares as a lotto but got really excited in the heat of the moment. One of my initial cover targets should have been the previous day's close, but I didn't even make it there.

I took several small reshorts/ gambles which I'm really not proud of. I was only 3 bucks away from my $100 at this point, so I wanted to get the incentive. Needless to say I began to give back profits at that point. Eventually I got it once I waited and shorted the pop/ bear flag for a nice rip.

*R/G and G/R moves are really opening plays, but sometimes like this I really regret not holding a small lotto. But other times if its dicey or my entry is off I might get out flat. I think the fear of losing unrealized P&L is actually a pretty big deal to me psychologically.
