Plan on AMD this morning was "pop at the open over $30, risk off premarket highs." That is precisely what happened. AMD popped at the open and I got short once I had a level to risk off of (30.20, HOD). Granted, I should have shorted it at this pop, but my entry was still OK. I added once the tape confirmed weakness and AMD was struggling to stay above water. I took partials at 29.80 and put my stop for the rest at 30.05. Unforunately, I fat fingered the stop and accidentally limit bought at the highs, right before the "real move" to 29.50. Oh well, just another lesson to be very careful when making orders.
