Stock gapped up PM. Trying to by the breakout of the opening range. Just a little too early on this one and the second attempt I made a few minutes later and was whipped out. I bought too close to the breakout spot instead of closer to the pullback point which caused me to make my stop just a bit too tight. Had I bought closer to the pull back area around $5.12 or so I could have had the same risk level but with a lower stop. Or just accept a larger stop and leg in with less shares. I caught it on the third attempt and made the money back in the end but it was a good lesson on patience and pull backs.
