Poor execution. Should have taken profit more evenly and systematically on the way down instead of randomly. An earlier entry toward 313.80 or a later entry toward 313.15 would have yielded a much better PNL as I wouldn't have lost 60 cents of potential from buying in a dip.
On second entry, I moved up my stop loss too aggressively and was stopped out at 311.52.
Could have made 1 entry and taken profit at 312.00, 311.50, 311.00, 310.50, with a less aggressive SL, and I wouldn't have been stopped out and generated an extra dollar of follow through compared to what I actually did.
