Stupid, stupid trade!
Instead of flipping short I bought on the bid as I expected and it looked like the bids would hould and get taken. For a couple of moments it was, but then the bids just disappeared and AAPL dropped 30ct within a second. Stuck with it to watch it.
Then things went south. My internet broke down!!!! AAAAAHHHH
It took 10 minutes until I was able to reconnect via mobile backup and close the trade. I missed the support to add and rather took my loss. Happy it was just a small hit and I am glad I was rather very calm compared to past times that happened. My style of trading changed and I am really glad I give all my trades so much room to play out once I found some sort of bias. Confidence comes with success. Now I need to get more aggressive as soon as the market allows to do so.
Internet remained down for 4 hours! 4!!!! Developing Country Germany... Called it a day and a week.
