It's going against me and I'm nervous. I just pulled my stop back to give it more room. That's the rule I keep breaking and I know it. I'm doing it anyway, which is silly.

Could not accept being wrong, widened the stop, and paid double. The first stop was the right one.
06:18
Stopped out, and it would have been a small loss if I'd left the stop where it was. Moving it cost me about double. The setup was fine, the execution was not. Next time the stop stays put, full stop.
