This was a dumb mistake. I was on the right track to short, and I was going in quick to take profits. I did not see my entry executed and got confused as to why things were not getting complete. I closed the trade and then noticed it went live at my entry limit order. I covered the trade thinking i made a few cents (.4) on this quick short. I covered while not realizing that it was still on my limit of $4.45. I did not change my exit to a market order. Lost $20.07 for E*trade trade fees.
