. Realized nflx has earnings tomorrow. I got long with stop at 343.50
Added on volume increase over 344 moved stop up to 344
Sold 75% at 345.80 as we looked very overextended to the upside this was also the highs of a previous range coming up on VWAP I really probably should have been adding as we got some real good volume come in
I plan on treating the remaining shares as a trade2hold and trading around the core position of 38 shares long
I added early on the pullback and then had a better add when we got close to vwap and then buyers came in
Put out a limit sell order at previous day low for 100 shares
Added as buying increased over 348 stop for this lot is 348
I was able to hold for awhile as there was light volume on the pullbacks and the market looked strong
Stopped out of all right after I wrote that as selling increased heavily compared to what the order flow looked like earlier

I think you did a great job here. You played the breakout and added when the level held, then you sold into a strong up-move as it pushed into a resistance level. The stock didn't have to go all the way back up to VWAP. If I were looking at this as the chart were forming I would take the stance that if the stock were going to put in a lower high it would do it right in the area that you had sold into.
I agree there should have been a buy when VWAP held for the next leg up, but looking at the chart I like what you did anyway. You let it break, top out, and pull back. You then saw the 347 breakout level hold and you bought for the next leg up. I don't know how I feel about that last add, but I like that you read the tape and took off the entire position as it was getting weaker and proving that it didn't want to hold above 348.50.
