Stop Size Risk
Analyst's reasoning:QBTS gets a “looks higher, very bullish” call due to a weekly 1-2-3 pattern and a rounded base on the hourly chart. The speaker’s hesitation is risk management: the stop isn’t tight, so the trade’s attractiveness depends on whether price moves quickly enough to justify that wider risk.
Analyst's reasoning:QBTS position was exited after the speaker “sold QBTS” and “took the loss.” That implies the downside move overwhelmed the earlier long thesis, so further holding is rejected in this trading window.
