Stop 13.69
target 14.5
R:R 1:7

I was intended this to be a swing trade, I thought 13.69 was good as 13.7 was next round number...hit exactly on my stop.. actually I think 13.68 was the low.. and then continued on to my target, or pretty darn close. Frustrating as I just got back after a few weeks off and the same thing happening to me again...seem to be good picking the stock, my entry and risk management don't seem to be on point. smaller size, looser stop... but I thought this was reasonable.

After being gone for two weeks and getting stopped out of first two trades within 10 minutes of entering, I decided to go back to my day job.. which I had stayed watching this one. That's why I need to leave my day job! :)

Should have waited for it to cross the MAs for confirmation..
