This may be too early, but the risk is ultra low. I moved the stop up

I was stopped out in a burst of volume, but then the market reversed right back up above where my stop was (red line). This may be a "washout". Being the day before Thanksgiving, I knew volume conditions would be whippy. That was a perfect example of what I was expecting. It makes tight stops hard to use.

Took some significant heat, but back to breakeven now. That is a good sign.
