Daily setup: Gap up
Entry/play: postO, after a really volatile open, new high after stabilization. Very big position for my account size.
Management: Terrible. Didn't trail stop well (big spread) and yanked it. Didn't take target. Took it home. Exit day 2 at my original dream target, but with a blind limit order. I can only call it lucky bc I got top tick on a whipsaw.
Psychology: Greed and luck = toxic gainer. This is one of those trades that skews my mind. I didn't take a decent gain opportunity day1 bc wanted more, yanked stops. Day 2 got fing lucky.
