Nice idea and execution. If your target is $9 (and I'm assuming here), you can try to scale out half at $9 then let the rest ride lower. Or you could sell it all at $9 so as to save on commissions.

Thanks for the feedback Nate. Yeah, I see clearly what you mean. I will be working on drilling that skill with more focus.
Sometimes with these momentum plays, I find it hard to establish a target, the idea being taking pieces off as it goes in the anticipated direction. However, the lack of a clear price level (aka target) leaves me antsy and I do what you have seen above, which is the wrong way to do it.
