Botched this trade up. HIMX was gapping up, looked like it was ready for a bounce, and had some news about google blah blah. So I took it for a long without really having conformation. If I just waited 10 mins I would have realized it was a short and made some good money, but didn't happen. I tried it twice and it was just a no go. I was taking this trade on too much of what I was thinking it was gonna do and not really reading what the chart was telling me.

These ORB's are tuff lately, i think i've gone 0-5 over the last several weeks. May be filing that play away until they're working again.
