DAR Trade on Aug 23, 2013 11:52 from oly_BOWS: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

This was a gap up I was watching. It folded back under recent highs and I shorted it out of a flat base. I chased the short too far. Then I covered because I had to go to bed but I was so tired I accidentally reshorted another 100 shares. Instead of getting out for $50, I accidentally held over the entire weekend and got burned.

could have held it for a gapfill and scratch trade. But mostly just angry I failed to close it.

New EOD checklist includes a scan of the positions screen to make sure I am flat.
