NFLX was very volatile out of the Open and moving fast.
I had 335 as a Benchmark level to be short below as well as 340.50 to 341 to be long above written down.
When NFLX sold off out of the open I placed a starter at 335.50 and in hindsight hit the lowand took a partial on the retest of 337.50 for 2$.
NFLX sold off again and when it hit 338 I wanted to take off the rest at above it.
BUT instead of SELLING the full position, I bought a full tier (60 shares) at the PEAK!
I immediately sold the whole position and got out break-even, leaving 30$ on the table.
That kind of stress on a monday morning immediately threw me off my game. It started so well, but I noticed my lack of focus after the weekend. I am not a monday kind of person and telling by the past weeks I always need a bit to be back in the game and get a feel for the game.
