AAPL 2 trades, both losers -25%

AAPL was my prime target today. Losing the daily box and 50ma's was so juicy. It gapped down, dropped like $8 in the first bar, then came back in the next 2 bars. I waited. It stalled near a premarket level so I bought puts on first weakness. Those stopped out.

Second trade, it ran up to another premkt level and stalled. I bought puts when it looked to fail. Stopped again. Ouch.
