Stock came up on scanner had a good amount of volume. I was anticipating to break the days hi. In @ $183.92. It did just that, running ran up while away from computer to $184.63, when I arrived it had a free fall near my buy price. Kind of a bummer, but it was a quick morning gamble to awaken the senses. Decided to sell and wait for new opportunity while I'm still even and fresh off my first trade. Was a definite confidence booster for my next trade.
Gave stock another shot, showed momentum on the buy side again. Took a late dip buy I admit. But was experimenting and looking for the lesson more than anything. Long @ 184.20 . Ran up fairly slow. Sold its first pullback @ 184.35 . Sold because it slowed down after a .10 cent gain, only to nudge up 5 cents more. I was happy with a small gain, was looking to scalp. Should have waited for it ramped up +30 cents about 20 seconds later. I had every reason to stay long since it barely tapped its 9ema in a small and orderly pullback. But on the patient side this morning. playing conservative and text book since started the day late.
