shorted but missed the initial entry but still entered as it crossed the VWAP @52.30 scaled out on the flush down then moved my stop to my entry price and eventually got stopped out.

$DDD has been good to me, but it is a finicky one, it's all over the place pretty volatile....That's why I like it, Today was the first day in a while I played it.
Total Chase, break of 53 was the entry, otherwise just stand aside to admire the DDD. (No pun intended to ensure we stay P/C in here ;-)
ya today was not good i was so pissed about my earlier trade that failed with DDD that i had to get something out so i chased and forced it.
@mark - haha that was my problem, i was watching DDD and just had to get in there! pun intended haha
its ok man... this has nothing to do with ur skills as a trader in recognizing ur setups.... u made an emotinal trade that you probably knew stunk .. a revenge trade per se. that meansit can be easily corrected as its not a flaw in ur knowledge u just made a rash decision which happens to all of us... journal out a revenge trade in the future so that u have time to talk urself out of it.
