Pulled back to supt and consolidated. Got in long for the BO, but was a little early and MA's started to turn down. Had a big dip down that recovered back to buy price. Sold out half to reduce my risk, dipped down again even further and at this point i was shittin my pants.....sooooo... When it got back up to buy price, i sold out because i was scared. and wouldnt you know it.....10 minutes later the damn thing takes off without me. Oh well..lesson learned. Put an alert to remind me to get back in after a shake out like this. AND... dont get scared, let the trade play out. Hindsight sucks... LOL

You had alot of shares Keith on a stock at this price, and you didn't have an autostop. This can be risky. you also got in just a bit too early - need to let it confirm a bit before jumping in full. And watch the lower timeframes to get a better look at the trend. In this case, it was questionable here on the 2min chart, for example, for getting in. Confirmed entry on 2min chart was just under 66
