Trying to remember this trade...
I think I thought I took too many shares. So I unloaded half. I then realized that I could load up even more, as my stop would be above the 20ema on the 5min. This is also recent highs. Thought this was perfect.
Covered 3/4, but I didn't think it would break 15.00. I think I got stopped out on the last 1/4.
I readded, using the 9ema as the stoppage. I think I had my stop at my entry, and it hit it.
I readded huge. big mistake. I knew my stop was tight, so I justified it...but for me this leads to bad habits. I should've only did 500-600. Gave up 50% on my win on this trade.
