This wasn't a bad trade, I just screwed it up. I chased a little bit (should've bought right when it crossed back over the 20 DMA not a little while after), then I didn't take half profits like I wanted to when it hit the 200. And then today it broke under the 20 DMA and flirted with that level all day, toward the end of the day I decided that if it broke under the VWAP I would get out, which it did for long enough so I got out and then reversed and closed just above the 20 DMA... On the bright side, this was my first swing trade in 5 months and (other then not taking profit when it hit the 200) I am happy with how I reacted throughout 99% of this trade.
