This trade could have easily been avoided if I had considered the market conditions and looked at the fact that it topped out at a key resistance 3 times that day. I wasn't to bad on the fact that it did hold 11 as support which was key for the day and proved it by bouncing off of it multiple times but every time it pushed off of it it did tend to have a weak run. up which brought it back down. That should have been a sign that the stock was tired and didn't want to push anymore heading into power hour.
The key place that I fucked up was hitting it for an overnight about a quarter of an hour into power hour not considering what was previously said and then leaving for lunch and not keeping an eye on it until it was too late in the day. Another consideration should have been on the fact that the topping action of the stock scared a lot of momentum buyers into thinking this stock was done for so they sold off their shares to get out before the inevitable happens which seemed to be the case as the stock fell .80 within 15 minutes. AH was even worse to it.
The thing that pisses me off more was the recovery it made the day after that I'm not entirely mad I missed because I followed rule #1 which was cut losses quickly.
Still rubs me the wrong way tho.
