RHT:
Had earnings and gapped up. High relative volume, setup was descending triangle/bear flag.
9:38- Shorted 100 shares at $163.16, placing my stop above the peak of triangle. Added another 100 shares on the retest.
9:40:37- Trimmed 100 shares in anticipation of whole number support at $162- wanted to see it break $162.
9:40:57- Trimmed 50 shares at $161.39 once it broke down, and got close to $161.
9:45- Trimmed 25 at $161.40, most likely because of hammer and large volume...should have held.
9:47:09- Covering last 25 shares at $160.33, when it got close to $160 support.
1) Taking profits too quickly, also could have gotten back in when it broke the low at the time around 10:00-11:00AM.
2) Could have held onto remaining shares to capture more of move.
