IO stock sell limit not following HB missed big time

Missed two day $32, because I set up higher than HB recommended.
Then I had a thought to sell(still make $1000+ profits), but I didn't, then after hours it dropped $2 because of news. Lesson learned not to be too greedy. After hours could change to loss $600+, because I have 300 shares

CTSH earning beat

News came bough 26@73.9 partial fill, 100@77.6
premarket should do higher to get more, high went to 78.99
Sold 126@77.8 should watch more before sell it (targeted to make 100+, so set up at that point)

Set up a goal to make $100 a day, then quit.

When there is a sell off

Friday sell off
so on Monday lot of people panic and continue to sell off
so when market open we expect a big drop on stock price (see premarket)
if you are in a stock, sell it with stop loss, and enter another buy (calculate distance between stop loss price and see how much it will drop) ex. AMZN low1387.36, high 1458.98, difference 71.62 from 9:30-10:22

result:  you are stopped out, but you bough a cheaper price. And watch it 1) go down more 2) go up
1) if continue go down, another stop loss to stop minimal loss and wait it bounce again, then buy
2) if goes up, sell it when it start to drop again, may be use trailing stop
