Daily setup: gap and trade above resistance, postO
Entry/play: after it flushed and came back, based a few min, bought a surge.
Management: It immediately struggled. Initial stop below flush. Raised to below the few min "base" I bought. Stopped on a hammer, but then went down MUCH more. Mistake here was going too big after BABA beautiful winner. I almost sacrificed my day.
Psychology: Ok. Bummed to lose a lot of previous gainer. I went too big on this second trade after first win. Should have gone smaller to preserve more. Good move to raise stop. Friday, etc.
PS- after I stopped on hammer, I took lottos on next min above hammer, bc fomo. As of 10:30, not looking great.
Update, eod. Went to zero.
