I leaned a lot from this trade. The biggest of which is don't try to hold through earnings, inevitably there will be a sell off into earnings so if you are in before that sell off holding through earnings would be pointless as after the sell off you would be down significantly already so if hold through earnings and its a negative earnings or no reaction you're basically shit out of luck. The sell off before earnings really is what beat me on this one, really wanted to stick to my targets and stops though, but having earnings coming up really should have made this a no play. Lesson learned.
