I'm really hoping this is the last trade I get out of too soon. I think I have sold enough fucking times with no reason to have learned the lesson now.

Nice entry. I also have many occasions when I get out before my "reasons to sell" are violated. Best part is there is quite often another chance to get back in. I agree with Mirko about letting a portion ride, but for me at least, I'm more comfortable taking a full position later as MEI allowed a bit after 11:00AM

Great entry Matt but that first sell was way too early. The second sell was decent but you could leave some for the ride since the stock never violated you entry point. What I would do is sell partially where you sold your first part, move stop loss to the entry point and left some for the ride.
