lost twice on ndh fakeout

Premkt I pondered whether today would be a chop day. We've had 3 in a row selloff days, and maybe today would be a price discovery (chop) day. 

I shorted TSLA. Got stop/dropped on ndh for a loss, then it dropped straight to my target.

I went long PANW. It pop/dropped at ndh and I yanked stop after stop after stop. Currently holding on at a pretty big loss, somewhat recovered off the bottom, and going sideways (while losing time / Wednesday).

Greed got me today. TSLA went up, so I didn't want to stop my long... market was going up. But the market did a sharp pivot at the top (price discovery... chop...). 

My monkey brain is still trying to reconcile that topping action and how I could have done better. It's frustrating me, that feeling when TSLA popped/stopped me so I wanted to have faith in the other long. Then TSLA dropped... the move I wanted but I couldn't take it again because PANW was making a new high so bull sentiment. Then TSLA sunk and PANW sunk. Didn't refresh TSLA short, didn't stop PANW short. That means I was stuck on bull. Did I not map levels well enough? Did I get manipulated as a retail trader? 😳

good gains, but coulda-shoulda

 Not too shabby a day. But I left a lot on the table in the HD trade by cutting profits. Left a lot on the table with PDD by chickening out with too tight a stop. QCOM I traded not bad. Really coulda shoulda had so much more today. But still a B+ green day on account.
