APOL Trade on Jan 15, 2014 10:13 from kt_mishra_BOWS: Tradervue User Stock Trades.

Daily: Flat Top Breakout
Entry: ORB (extended)
Exit: Stopped out

By the time I got back from a meeting this stock had already broken out of its Opening Range - very extended when I entered.

I was trying too hard to do make some good paper money in the morning, and that resulted in me compromising on my setups.

This thing could have made you money, even extended. Why .02 on your stop? It just barely took you out!

True. My entry was a little extended. I got in hasty, and realized that it was a late entry. Keeping my stop lower would have put more risk on this trade, which I wasn't willing to take.. I should have gotten back in it later, though..
