DSX: Stopped out

Stop hit at $8.96.  Traded as low as $8.80.   
Summary:
Entry
I rushed into the trade before the down move was finished and hoped for a snap back.  That didn't happen.

Exit
Stopped with a small loss just a few cents of slippage.  I could have held a wider stop with fewer shares and kept the R the same.  Or, I could have increased R beyond to at least 1 R to allow for a .70 stop.   It now looks like a reversal bar as it traded positive stopping me out.

Rules:
I had a plan and I traded it.  it didn't work this time but the damage was minimal.
