Looking for the P/B on daily to rising MA/gapfill/support hold. I was afraid it'd go without me so put on a partial tester with intention of add at 2.20 i pulled in. It did and got filled for avg price of 2.28 to full position with a stop -.10, Target +.15, +.25 and more. Put stop under support and got hit for loss. Not a great setup, should have passed on this one.
MISTAKES: Initiated 1st position too early. Did good job with cutting size but need to let market settle for 15 minutes regardless as every trade has allowed entry at some point.
Other mistake was put stop only -.01 cent under support.

I can't remember who it was who recommended this strategy but I know what you were trying.. where you hit it out of the gate jus tknowing you have to exit ASAP if it goes against you.. or do the low position and watch it. no taught setup from class, but a ballsy quick move.
Get rid of this stuff ... there was no setup - you're a trader not a gambler!
