Great gapper. 1st try as HUGE VOL and looked ready, tight stop so took small loss. Gave even better setup with a flag on the VWAP and rising 9EMA. Long at apex. Stop -.10, Target +.25, +.45, +.65. I was 0-3 so far on the day and let my P&L dictate the trade. Almost took off at +.15 to break even on day. I destroyed my own self confidence by not believing in my stop and targets. By micromanaging i missed out on the biggest trade of the year. I rationalized that buying volume was drying up so took all off instead of STICKING TO THE PLAN!

Part of me is really excited as i nailed the entry, the other part is frustrated as i broke my selling rules and rationalized from emotion to take all off. GREAT LESSON!
NOTE: Big gap ups with massive volume on good news/PR that have been basing need to be bought hand over fist!!!!!
