Tried looking for a stock that would pop into the close, this stock had been strong all day, so I attempted to buy every small pullback, sizing up at original entry as long as my original support held, however, stock broke support into the close and was stopped out, however, was able to move my stop to breakeven

Entered on break down out of trading range with stop at the other end of the trading range.
Once price action began to change, had to adjust original profit target.

Better trade:
Since I was going to enter on the bar after the breakout, I should have used the bottom of the trading range as a stop, because if the breakout test was going to fail, the entire original move would have been in question.
This would have safely allowed more size.

Entered Tier 1 on the first pullback, with the stop at the bottom of the pullback, entered Tier 2 on the next pullback, same stop and entered Tier 3 as the trade continued to move in my favor, booked one tier at the top of the bear channel that started the pullback and added the tier back on the next pullback and booked partial into new high of day and booked the remaining at the high of day again after the next pullback.

Better trade would be to hold my core position until a valid Reason2Sell appears

Signal bar was an inside bar, however, it was a doji and also the following bar was a doji, both bull would decreased the odds of a successful first breakout attempt.
Place a short entry below trading trading range because of the strong bear bars leading into the small trading range with stop at the other end of the trading range.
However, after triggered was immediately stopped out.

Better trade would have been to wait for further price action, such as a breakout of the trading range and follow-through.

Entered on pullback, however, this move was already extended without having a sufficient correction prior to entry.

Jammed stop at closest support that would invalidate the original premise.

Entered this trade based on the measured move down, where I booked profits and flipped to long on the pullback.

Better trade:
To keep my original stop and instead of jamming stop after the reversal bar, if stopped would have remained in the original place, would have reached profit target for a 1:1 gain instead of getting stopped out and losing half of what was originally risked.

Entered at New-High, (15 minute) had a bull inside bar, inside of the opening trading range, there was a breakout of the inside bar, then a breakout of the range that went to a new high. Entered full size with stop below signal bar. The new high was rejected and trade was stopped out.

The signal bar was a weak signal bar that decreased odds of a follow through.

Entered trade on a bull reversal bar, the next bar was in bear inside reversal bar, trade was triggered on the following bar and then the next bar was stopped
out after a new low was put in.

A better trade would have been waiting for the bottom to be put in, instead of trying to catch the bottom, after such a strong sell-off. The market put in a double bottom then an inside bull signal bar.

Entered on a breakout of the trading range, Tier 1. However, started seeing consistent selling on the tape at the same number, repeatedly for an extended time, and also the chart was putting in lower highs, which increases the odds of a breakdown, so I jammed the stop up under that number and was stopped out before the market broke down to hit my original stop.
