It's a good thing I was still paper trading today. Haven't had a blow up trade like this in a while. Just didn't manage my risk properly.
Got excited and shorted some of this near the open. Almost pulled the trigger at 4.30 with a risk set at 4.45, but didn't. Still kept my stop at 4.45 break. It bounced around, but never dumped. Had several chances to get out for even money or even a little profit and didn't do it.
Pretty sad trade.
