I shorted this one thinking that under $5.00 was a legitimate crack spot. The stock sold off at the opening and then it's first attempt to go green was rejected on high volume with the price back under the 9 ema. so I entered. For a moment here, the trade was looking better and better bear flagging, holding under 9 ema and vwap. I added on to my position where I thought it was going to flush further then it reversed and I took way too big of a loss. 2 Mistakes: I failed to acknowledge that the stock was down 3 days in a row. And I did the worst thing ever when managing risk. I should have tightened my 5.07 stop big time when I added to my position to properly manage my risk, instead I held on, hoping I wasn't wrong as CYTR squeezed upward. Ugh. Another lesson learned here..

So your first entry was pretty good for my type of style, your second wasn't, it was to far away from your stop. Look at screencast.com/t/qCsxzU0y. See it pop over the 9ema and 20ema. that was your sign to look for your exit. I would've exited 5.02 on the second green candle, when it didn't work out and drop back down pass 5.00
