Should not have touched this stock at all by looking at its messy daily chart. And then shorted late and got stopped out. If I have shorted it two candles before as I should, then it would have been a nice profit on the EOD flush.

You are absolutely right Gena, I had way too tight stop loss on this one and got stopped out at a penny. It did not seem to work the way I expected it and it was a way too messy stock (look at the daily). It appeared that I had a good idea but did not manage it right in the end because I lost my patience with it.

Well I can understand why you were interested in shorting this one - the daily screamed parabolic short, esp on choppy mkt days. But why only a 4cent stop? Especially when it never went above the VWAP......?
