Bad Trade - TSLA was on an upward trajectory for days and when I entered the trade it simply lost all of it's steam. I stayed in until the end after take hard losses hoping for a rebound prior to expiration. This is what not to do when trading. Hope is never a strategy. When the trade is reasonably not going your way you exit.. period! It's ok to place a larger percentage stop loss to absorb some fluctuation but you must exit and follow your plan regardless if later the stock turns in your favor
