Here's another example of chasing a stock that has already spiked and I decide to buy at a high point with less volume. Not smart. I need to become better at not chasing.
Execution detail:

try to avoid the revenge trade, especially if its chasing. I can see why you re-bought here...heck, your first trade woulda won! but then you chase as revenge in a sort of way, and then you just lose more. believe me...has happened to ALL of us!!! but at some point, you skip the revenge chase trade, and just shrug it off "oh well, I missed it"
Thanks for the feedback. I do have a big problem with chasing and revenge trades. I need to work on putting my pride aside and leaving a stock alone that isn't working for me. :)
