I was watching this for a trend break on the daily. It happened, but I had too much other stuff going on and missed my entry. Instead of passing I bought high, and put myself at too much risk. I made this literally about 8x worse than it should have been because I got distracted by another position I was watching and didn't set my stop immediately. By the time I got back to do it (a minute or two?) this had dropped way out of my comfort zone. While I stared at it in shock for about another minute it dropped like a rock. I pulled the handle and got out at almost the worst possible point. It the shot right back up past 30 (green point) which was my target for a re-entry when this recovered as I deemed the setup still valid. It moved quickly, and I was not ready, so I chased it again and ended up in much later than I wanted. I made back almost everything I lost on the opening debacle (down $3.51 in the end), but would have been green if I hit it at 30, and would have been really green if I hadn't screwed up the first entry.
