missed the break I was watching for but it pulled back and seemed to find resistance at the 9ema. Normally I would wait for confirmation, but the earlier breakout level added to my confidence that it would reverse back down. I got in early with a stop at 105.39
Unfortunately, I got a higher quantity than intended (intended 20). I was moving stocks around in the ToS grids and I must've forgotten to update the qty or ToS issues. ToS was freezing constantly today and I'm getting quite frustrated. Trade went against me. I should have dropped size as soon as I noticed the error but I didn't want to take the hit after a similar error Tuesday. Paid for it. Also I somehow managed to get yet another different size and instead of closing out on the stop it went net long 25.
Then I shorted but when I entered the stop it autosubmited as a limit order and executed and I ate the spread.
Then I noticed I was net +5 so I closed that.
Finally, should have shitcanned this thing but I reentered stop 105.71. Then it flattened and looked like a higher low so I closed about flat
