The #1 biggest issue on this is that i caught the short and scaled out half of my position but then got distracted with another trade i was trying to nail... and didn't scale out of the second half. I could have initially set my stop on the second portion but didn't actually know how with prodigio. Let this be a lesson learned- either scale out and set the hard stop, or don't scale out with small shares and just take entire profits when you have a really nice gain.
