Technical Analysis – Intraday

  • Earnings released: o "Revenue increased 41% year-over-year o Subscription revenue increased 39% year-over-year o Professional services and other revenue increased 72% year-over-year o Billings increased 47% year-over-year"
  • Opened strong and blew past previous days high
  • Started intraday pullback at 11am

Original Plan
1. IF OD is down, look for support at S1-S3 (56.5, 55.5, 54.5) and long
2. IF S3 (54.45 fails to hold, Short a retest of S3 from below
3. IF OD is up, look for a pullback to S1

Execution Notes
DOCU had 3 up-legs that gradually got smaller and at 11am it began to pull back. I was looking for a good area to get long and I was eyeing the mornings consolidation range above yesterday's high to get in. I placed my order for 58 and got filled, my stop was at 57.79 for 2 units of risk (2R). I got stopped out at 57.78 shortly after. Perhaps I should have been more patient and waited for the price to potentially hit the bottom of the range and enter near 57.3 which was yesterdays high.
