AAPL oversize position +25%

AAPL I took normal size, then when resistance held I added. After it tested that level a few times, I started to get scared and sized down 1/4 at +/-breakeven even though market was dropping and dropping meanwhile.
It kept reversing just above various targets I set, so I exited on squeezed stops vs waiting for the targets, because I know they sometimes don't come. I don't regret how I traded this at all, though before it initially moved I was nervous bc the size I had. And it was a beautiful gainer. Even though I left a lot on the table, peace.
