Rationale:
-Morgan Stanley reiterated overweight target, but lowered price target
-thought this may be a catalyst play with potential for a lot of upside given the stock has been beaten down
-on the open there was a lot of buying during the first 5min bar, which got me looking for bullish signals as price pulled into VWAP

Recap:
-saw large lots trade on the ask as price was pulling in towards VWAP, once I saw price confirm with an up move, I entered the position

-price began to stall in the 178.90 area and this was the cue to get ready to sell if more buying doesn't come shortly after
-with the selling that came in as price pulled back to VWAP that is definitive reason to exit (no more evidence needed)
-have to be swift in exiting (AAPL is liquid so there is room for error, but I wasn't fast enough on WSM)

image

-ended up exiting at 9:46a (had sufficient evidence to exit 2 mins earlier and may have ended up at break even), minimizing these losses is the key that keeps the engine working

How could I have traded this better?

-exiting the trade faster once there was evidence to exit, can't hold on unless i'm seeing aggressive buying being confirmed with price
