July 5 ( Loss $76.74 )

At the very end of the day, I tried to scalp a 1000 shares short in TNA at $51.45.  Covered half for the above-noted loss.  Holding the other 500 shares for Monday.  This really isn't the sort of trading I want to do, but my gut tells me a pullback is due after an eight day move up with a close so close to the high of the day.
Because this was a scalp. I'll be looking to cash this one out ASAP on Monday, especially if it is down near my target of $51 even.  Potential slap in the face with no stop engaged, however.
