Thesis: Reports Q4 $0.54 v $0.44e, Rev $15.4B v $15.1Be; Guides Q1 below consensus. Guides Q1 $0.13 v $0.36e, Adj Rev $12.2-13.2B v $14.3Be.
Stop: I placed my stop-loss above the last two candles and the 43.50 level.
Entry: I have entered the position at the moment of breakdown with the LMT order.
Targets: Potentially, it was 43.00-43.15, the premarket low. Usually target somewhere between 1=1 and 2=1 RR ratio.
Breakeven point: -----
Profit taking: -----
Comments: stopped out due to rebid and fast reversal within 2 minutes. I was chasing the price slightly, which is absolutely inappropriate. As a result of my chasing and only partial order filling initially, the 2nd part of my order was filled lower, decreasing the average entry price noticeably. The stop loss adjustment was also affected by setting the SL only for < 50% of my position, which was filled in the beginning. I did not notice that because I could not imagine something like this could happen. I had to exit with the MKT order at the current price later, and I am happy I did that immediately.
Lessons: Having a "Close-ALL" button really helps, but I must now be prepared to have better focus and avoid chasing prices at all costs.
