Came back to 9ema

Short 1k @ 28.99 Stop just above 9ema @ 29.20 (and declining). Max lost $210.

Man I hate my life, Cover it all @ 28.77, I'm done for the day, no reason to cover, it was just getting started by the looks of it.

Aftermath: Just as I suspected down to 28.34ish. Could've made 75% more on this trade.

Do you think your position sizing is influencing your decision to cover? By that I mean if you had fewer shares maybe you would be more likely to let the trade play out.

@Mick, no. It didn't matter what size I entered. I knew I wasn't going to be back until AFTER the end of day...I was not be able to bring my tablet to trade either.

If I knew I was going to be able to be back just BEFORE the end of day, then I would've maybe reduce the size to 1/4, put a hard stop in. If it didn't hit my stop, I would've covered then.
