AVGO -8% don't hold on hope

Good gap down setup below box, but gapped to 200dma. OK. Have that in mind. Like everything else this morning it gapped down and was bought hard in opening minutes. AVGO intraday weakness caught my eye. After surge, fail, I shorted vwap breakdown. Didn't hit any target and stopped on reduced stop. Another loser, and after I got out it would have been green for me, but I can't try to hold on for that. Holding on "hope" is not Clockwork Trading. I take my stops and keep my peace.
