    long 2@29.50, stop 28.25
    cover 1@ 30.5, stop b/e for the second.
    I hesitated to take a trade because of fear of a loss, but forced myself to pull the trigger because it was my signal.

    my stops where too close today, fear of losing making me actually lose.
    I was trading in the noise.
    taking a little break.
