This trade almost killed me. I made so many mistakes here. Unbelievable.

My first pivot was 136 and I traded in and out of it here, but ended up with 60 shares. Did not take my loss which I really should have. I gambled!!! BAAAD decision.

BABA turned out to be hell of strong.

The next pivot was 137.75, but I already added at 137.40 instead of waiting for any kind of confirmation. There was none until 138.50 where I had the next pivot.

My adds at 137.40 and 137.87 were just stupid! Wait for confirmation!!! Resistance by Pivot, Consolidation above full/half dollar, Decision-Candle forming, High RSI, High TICK, Big Order etc. THEN add!

I did better on the next two adds. Although inbetween pivots, next being EMA20 on DAily at 141, I added at decision candles. The first did not break and I entered too early. Next I did good
BABA wasnt done and just traded down to find support at 139 before making another move high to the EMA20.

Again I added too early on retest of previous highs. Added more size at 140.50 and ignored the spike into 141 which I had in mind originally when starting the day. Just great markus.

BABA eventually sold off. Took losses and the trade off towards break even. Had way too much size.
