The first entry was good because I thought it had a good chance of breaking HOD, but it failed and I got out when I was supposed to.
The second entry was bad because I thought it was going to break HOD, but it didn't consolidate at all at this point so I wouldn't have any place to put my stop.
The third entry was another good entry, just didn't work out because of how choppy this stock was. Both the 1 min and 5 min looked good for the ORB.
The 4th trade was another good setup, because at this point the stock was a triple tapper looking ready for a strong pop and breakout. That's what I was anticipating at least. We did get a small pop, but delayed follow through. This move quickly pulled back, and since I'm a scalper, I have to get out fast when the trade doesn't look like it is going my way. It is either going to work right away, or not at all. And since this was not working right away and started to pull back, I got out and cut my losses.
At this point, my mental capital was so drained from lossing 4 times on this stock that I had to just stop for the day. 3/4 trades were yes setups on this stock.
