Held over from previous day. Was actually serene about it overnight. I think that's only because I accepted I might lose it all.
So in the morning I let it develop instead of bailing on the initial drop.
I still traded scared the rest of the day. Shaving off profits and stopping too tight instead of letting it run. Total trade was about +10%.
This trade was TOXIC, in that I put too much at risk and rode it on hope. Completely not worth the grief.
