Welcome aboard mefistofelez.

The embarrassment came from having the first double digit loss I've had in two years.

I don't know that I could have done anything different. The trade was profitable going into today, I had a stop in place and the price gapped down by 10% before the market opened.

I was hoping to get some swing volatility and that didn't happen either. All I was able to do today was make one very short swing trade for a small profit to try and lessen the loss I suffered prior to the open. I was wanting to keep the loss under 10% and wasn't able to.

I've cut my losses and moved on. Although I take my losses in stride, it's still embarrassing for others to see. <lol>
