Bought long when it passed price resistance at $42.53; set stop a little looser than usual (because I've been working on that), but below trendline at $42.40. It dropped to near my stop almost right away, but bounced back up. The VWAP, 9SMA, and 20SMA are all pointing up for now, I will hold. Sold half into spike, moved stop to buy price. Stopped out.

Bought long again when passed VWAP, with stop just below convergence of VWAP and 20SMA, at $42.53. Sold half into spike, set stop just under 9SMA (instead of buy price) at $42.69 to give it a little breathing room. Sold half into spike, stop still under 9SMA at $42.75; will move stop so it stays a few cents under 9SMA and let last 50 shares ride. Sold last shares into spike. And now I am kicking myself, as that spike WAS the run up! I think this was a bad call, since I'd already locked in profits twice. I should have let it ride like I said I was going to...
