The idea was to try a swing trade with this stock. I felt good about the entry at the time, but had to set a stop loss because I was not going to be watching this thing all day while trying to work. I set the stop loss based on support I saw from previous days. Once it broke that support, I wanted to get out to avoid an even bigger loss if this thing was panicking. In hind-sight, I got out before it dropped even more. Even though this was a 10% loss of my small account, it could have been more.

This was an all around horrible idea. Given the lack of volume and the small available cash for investment left, there was no way I should have done this. Definitely a learning experience for me as I am still getting used to how ETrade does not classify recently traded cash funds as "cash for investment".
