Daily setup: pullback day (along with market) after recordbreaking run up
Entry/play: postO, preempting ndl when market also weak.
Management: too early! had some pain before it came back down (recurring theme). So then I was spooked out at breakeven on half, and didn't have guts to hold for my whole target, which it did eventually reach.
Psychology: Glad for a winner, but I don't like trading scared. Means I'm in too big, I guess.
