This trade hit the wall super fast, the only thing on the bright side was that I only entered 1/3 of the position's size. Managing risk by a step-by-step allocation helped me in this case. I did not allocate the remaining lots and moved my capital into other positions that worked better for the month.
Start: 05/28/09
