Trading Plan look for a short as close to 14 as you can get it. This would set up for a trend trend trade if you are patient enough.
Reading the tape
I watched the tape as it approached 13.29 and the velocity appeared to me to be slowing. I did not see any really buyers as it came up. It did appear that the buyers had slowed on stepping up. I wonder if I see just things that I want to see on this one right now.
Trade Management
Notes:
I was looking for a short closer to 14 at the opening. I saw it stagger around 13.60 but did not take the trade before I decided to follow up on the other opening position I was interested in.
The earnings report, the downtrend, and the 52 week low lead me to believe that this would reject the 13.29 level.
I developed a plan to take this if it rejected the and started to hold below. I committed to the wick of the level breaking candle. I entered on a limit at the bid as the tape seemed weak.
I was just wrong! This is very solid, well planned trade for me.
I could have set a slightly lower stop but only about 3 cents. That would not really make the difference to adding some risk though and it gave the trade another wick above the level before the anticipated sell off
