UNH Trade on Oct 19, 2016 11:44 from ghughes13_BOWS: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

Missed 1st entry (Around 10:20 - VWAP pullback at 144.30). Didn't expect it to go yet since, range didn't look tight enough and it would be the 2nd tap on HOD. But then it went up a dollar and I was like "Fk I missed it." Then I looked for another entry because it was breaking out to new highs and I expected it to keep going. Got in on a flag @ 145.42 (Stop @ 145.29, Well below break of range for the flag). Busted up to 145.70 so I moved stop up to entry price and went to the gym to clear my head. 3 losses earlier were weighing on me. Got to 146.36 while I was away. Probably would have sold into spike down shortly after (146.20's)if I wasn't afk. Came back down to .01 cent away from stop then bounced. Sold @ 145.70 when trend was reversing and it was back to where resistance would be.

I don't know why the heck I didn't get in on the VWAP pullback. I seem to make a bad trade or two and then I become hesitant to take another trade, miss a good trade because I hesitated, tell myself to grow some balls and take the next good trade, and then it's usually a bad trade (Even though it looks good to me). Been in that cycle for like a week. I also start shrinking my volume after I've had a few losers to keep losses smaller, but whenever I do that I seem to get into a winner, only I don't make enough to cover my losses because my volume's smaller.

I just needed a bigger position size. If I'd taken 100 shares I would have scaled out a few shares in the 146.90s. This would have been a much better play if I'd done that.
