Reasoning: Entering the trade, we felt that CRM would trade down to $110. It did, it just got there too early for us to capitalize on it given our trade structure. Now, with CRM's chart looking much healthier, we're going to take our lumps here and avoid further loss on the trade. We're using a GTC order.
