Pullback after a big PR breakout got bought so I bought a few at $7.50 for a push upwards. I didn't like the way the pattern was forming and also thought the entry was too high so I cut it for a small gain. Guess I should have had a little more confidence.

I think the main problem for me was I bought too high to feel comfortable with it. If I was in at like $7.30 or $7.35 when I first started eyeing it, I could have easily held a $7.19 stop w/ 1-2k shares and made serious bank on it. Entering at $7.50 was a mistake IMO since it needed a 30c stop on 1k shares which for me was too much to risk at this point in the day.

the HALO rip was crazy, and no one knew it was gonna keep going like that. I failed to buy at easy 7.10 Ask spot, only to watch it rip to 7.60...then I failed to buy again before it ripped to 8s wtf crazy ticker lol
